Flyfishing vest
I used my previous one for 16 years and I needed new one, so decided to buy the same product because it is very comfortable and had plenty of packets for all my fishing equipment

Made with the usual Simms quality, but it’s too short.
There are lots of pockets and zippered compartments, but because the vest is so short, everything gets crowded on top of each other. I assume the designers believe that we will be wading in waist deep water, but that isn’t the case for me, unless I trip. 😳 Also, for what ever reason, with a loaded vest, my shoulders and neck were fatigued by the end of the day. In contrast my previous vest had no issues with the same load. I have switched back to my Fishpond vest.
