If anyone is interested:
Gander Mountain has their Guide Series fly fishing vests on sale for 29.99 -reg 49.99.
If you fill all of the pockets with fly boxes you might not be able to walk…
So what your saying…it seconds as a life vest incase I fall in?

Hardly. In my case the reserves of blubber under my skin are keeping me afloat!!!
No I meant that with the amounts of pockets in that thing if you fill them up with fly boxes the darn thing might be too heavy to wear it and walk at the same time!!!
I don’t have their catolague. I won’t buy a vest that’s not breathable.
I did that once, what a nightmare. How light is the vest? To me the lighter
the better; and I like pockets, though I don’t use some.

Sorry Mikie,
My screw up. I thought everyone knew that I’m so skinny I have trouble casting a shadow on a sunny day. I don’t go swimming in the Summer because I sink.
A fully outfitted vest with all those fly boxes, acting as air pockets, would act as a life vest for me.
Actually I’m in the market for a new vest. Thanks for the heads-up.

Randy, The vest has mesh on the inside , top and part of the back. The sides of back packet are mesh too. It’ failry light. I bought it much bigger than I need. This way in Winter,spring and fall I can wear few layers under it. In the summer it’s hangs loose aiding in cooling.
I do a lot of bass fishing during the summer, so if I had to buy a vest again I’d probably buy a mesh one.
