I got this vest late last year and have only been out on the river with it twice so far. This is a great vest with an integrated backpack and hydration bladder area and tube routing.

For a long time i used a traditional fishing vest, and wore a lumbar pack or daypack, since much of my fishing is off the beaten path. I usually like to pack in bug spray, a rain shell, water, etc. This new fishpond vest handles everything i need to cram in there.

Pros

• Tons of storage
• Extremely adustable shoulder harness and waistline
• Built in mini fly 'benches'
• Two water resistant exterior chest pockets
• Expandable backpack area, big enought to fit my waders
• Hemostat keeper
• Built in rod tube keeper / holder

Cons

• Somewhat heavy, even empty
• Wish the backpack part was detachable
• Hydration bladder sold separately

It goes for $159 at Amazon.com
