Which vest would you recommend?

[fly_caster99]

Hi,

I'm in the market for a new vest and had been looking at the followwing 3 make & model :
1. Simms Classic Guide
2. Patagonia River Master
3. William & Joseph Fusion

Which one would you recommend? What are the Pros & Cons?

Would also appreciate if you could recommend vest of other makes & models that had worked well for you.

Thanks in advance.

I have no experience with the three you chose, but big pockets are more important than more pockets. I also don't like a lot of stuff hanging on the outside of the vest. I don't go out of my way to purchase one brand over another. I have the Orvis pro guide mesh. It's a pretty nice vest. Huge pockets, and very comfortable. A little pricey, but so are the 3 you're looking at.

Out of the 3, I prefer the WJ Fusion. Hydration bladder capability, overall functionality of pockets and accesses, and better color choices.
