Customer Reviews

A nice vest, just in time
I purchased this fishing vest to relace an old zipper style for a late Fall trip to the wild trout area on the East Carson River (incidently, just north of the Clark Fork). I like the one snap closure. It is light-weight, breathes well (and dries, too), and has reasonably-sized pockets. My only complaint is that the vest I received had one pocket where a side of the velcro closure was missing. Fortunately, my brother had some spare material and I sewed a new piece on at camp the first evening(a great spot close to Hangman's Bridge with piped water at each site). Now it is better than new! Cannot give it Five-Stars due to the QC problem, but for the price it is very nice.

Decent Vest -- difficult zippers
I purchased this vest based on the prior reviews it had received. I agree with these other reviews, the vest is very light weight, it dries very quickly and the pockets are well placed. There were two complaints about this vest in prior reviews, the velcro and the zippers. I have not experienced any problems with the velcro yet although I have been using it for almost a month now (6 or 7 days of fishing). The zippers on the large pockets are difficult to use. They are small, they do not open or close easily, especially with one hand. In addition, the opening for those large pockets is so large that if your not paying attention when you open the zipper, you could easily lose all of the contents in the pocket because it will open up completely.

Very Useful and Convienant
The vest fits well and has a good layout of pockets. Its well vented, dries quickly and doesnt get heavy when wet. After one season of wading the schuylkill river (30 walks), everything still works. Im worried about the small zippers, they get used a lot while wading. For the price, this is a weekender's dream.
