Outside Tests Three Fly Fishing Vests

November 28, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

Ryan Krogh of Outside magazine offers his opinions on three vests, all designed for somewhat different purposes: the Simms G3 Guide Vest, the Patagonia Riverwalker, and the Fishpond Double Haul Chest/Backpack System. Of the $170 Riverwalker, Krogh says: “The Spartan of the group. It’s made nearly completely out of mesh, which proved perfect for a long day of fishing in 90+ degree temperatures in Colorado.”
