If anybody has ever been eyeballing these cheap vests on Ebay, I bit on one finally. My old $15 Wal-Mart special has served decent for 15 years or so. I have to say this one seems really nice and this model will carry anything you want to carry fly fishing but waders or a boat! Stitching is heavy, maybe not as well finished as on nicer vests, zippers seem fine, they'll probably be fine as long as you don't abuse them. The front pockets are spacious. The big ones will easily hold the longest and widest sizes of Allen's Fly Fishing boxes and then another slightly thinner box. The smaller box pockets easily hold some medium sized boxes. The two upper most pockets are deep and spacious as well. The largest zipper on the back is a false pocket that will increase the main back compartment considerably when unzipped. Then the smaller pocket is going to hold a Tenkara rod or two nicely! Then there is the mesh pocket that I'm not sure a drink bottle will fit. It has tons of places to attach whatever accessories you'll want, a place under the pack to lash things down as well. We'll see how the materials hold up to briars soon. All in all I think it will be a good value!Read full review

First I must say it is stylish and the straps that are adjustable to any size person is cool. But mine came with a broken zipper on one of the compartments. The backpack storage is very small and there is a large false stylish zipper along with the backpack that's useless and takes away storage space. The front of the vest is also small which in turn leads to small front vest storage area. Overall I would definitely not recommend this to anyone I would recommend a normal fishing vest that has large back zipper compartment.

I have had this pack now for seven fishing trips. It is awesome! Great features, fit, and durability. It dries quickly and keeps lots of gear where I need it and all for way less than the name brand! I keep a 2 litre camel back 5 fly boxes 6 tippet spools, and there is room for lunch and all my camera gear! Definitely get one!

Excellent product in both features and build quality. Very good looking. Cost less than half what a similar vest is priced at in Cabelas.

I love this vest. It frees my hands so I can use my pair of walking sticks. I can't use backpacks due to my back and neck issues. The multiple pockets distribute the weight of anything I carry. Binoculars, snacks, first aid stuff, maps, sunscreen...you name it. Great product.
