I have yet to find a vest I like and because of that everything is carried around with me in one of those killer Sage Guideline backpacks or thrown into the pockets of my Guide Jacket.
But at times, this gets to be a pain as I do not need all that lead and all those corkies and pink worms when I am walking the banks of the Stilly in the summer and the Guide Jacket is a little much for the hot sunny days of mid-August.
Did I mention, I have yet to find a vest that I like???...well anyways, Orvis donated a Safe Passage Chest Pack for a Wild Steelhead Coalition raffle (thank you very much) and the second I saw that chest pack/backpack I knew it was a must have as it would fit everything that I was looking for in a vest-something with very little bulk but lots of carrying space. I (as well as Doublespey as he was drooling over the chest pack too) crossed my fingers when it came up for the raffle but my number was not drawn.
Anyways, I found it on Orvis's website and saw it in their catolog and to my surprise it was only $49 dollars :whoa: and now I want it even more then before.
Does anyone have any experiences with this pack??? Any opinions??? And why is this pack only $49???
Might have to do something I just absolutely hate to do...buy a piece of fishing related merchandise at full price. :devil:
