If I had to choose only one “classic” type vest among the dozens of models available on the market, it would be without hesitation the Guide Vest from Simms.
I have been using it intensively on the river for the last ten years, either for guiding or for solo fishing.
I have never been disappointed and despite a sometimes "slightly excessive" load motivated by "the fear of running out", none of the closures, both Velcro and zippered, have shown the slightest sign of wear or weakness.
Thousands of hours of "crash test" passed with total success.
My personal choice as a professional guide specializing in fly fishing for wild trout and grayling in rivers.
A comfortable fishing vest that holds tons of tackle and keeps you cool.
All you ever really need is a hand on the rod and a foot in the river, but bringing along an arsenal of gear is a nice bonus.
Simms’ Guide Vest is spacious, intuitive and comfortable for outings that last from dawn until dusk.
The vest includes 26 pockets to fit all your tackle and more, and a third-hand rod holder that frees a hand when you need to release that wriggling two-footer.
A ventilated, padded collar adds plush comfort that keeps you cool on long days snapping casts across the water.
The vest is finished in a water-resistant coating.
