L.L. Bean Rapid River Vest/Pack Review

I love it. It has plenty of room, but most of all, because it is designed as a backpack, it greatly reduces the stress on my shoulders. It comes with a sturdy belt, which helps keep the pack in place. Also, it is designed to allow air to flow through to your back in warmer weather (I'm not sure that makes sense). I fished for 7 hours this past Saturday and my back wasn't wet like it gets when I wear a regular vest. There are plenty of pockets for fly fishing boxes and accessories, too. Easily holds raincoat, lunch, etc. and plenty of other gear in the backpack. I highly recommend it.


PS. I do not work for L. L. Bean. I'm just a fly fisher.
