Kylebooker Fly Fishing Vest Pack Adjustable for Men and Women

This vest is nice. Plenty of space and pockets but the two main zip compartments are kind of small. It fits my fly fishing gear perfect but had to find some really small tackle compartments to fit the main zip compartments. The big pocket in the lower back of the vest is a good size for a water bottle. Hard to use the zipper because it is in the small of your back, but that could be my lack of flexibility

First, I'll state that I'm a somewhat new fly angler, and I'm 5' 7" and 185 with a medium build. I bought this vest to replace the basic traditional canvas vest that got me into the game. I quickly saw the limitations of that vest, so I've been using a sling pack setup for some time now. That, too, has some limitations, and I like the tradition of wearing a fishing vest.Second, be aware that this item just arrived, so this is an initial review. It hasn't been "field tested" yet. That's the sole reason I did not give a 5 Star rating. I may upgrade the rating later.One of the things that's most surprising to me about the product description is that it does not call attention to or show pictures of the inside pockets. On each side of the inner lining of the vest, there is a Velcro enclose pocket and a zipper enclosed dual pocket (two pockets, one zipper). This is a key feature, and the seller did himself an injustice by not showcasing this. My camera (AKA smartphone) is going to ride in one of the upper pockets from now on.As noted by others, there are pockets galore, so I won't expound on that too much. The vest is very adjustable, with wide nylon straps on both the shoulders and hips. If you're an average size, you'll want to figure out something clever to do with the excess straps so that they don't interfere with your fishing. I just doubled the excess back into the buckles...works nice for me.Each shoulder strap has a small but well-placed D ring. I put my nippers on one, and I'm sure I'll figure out something to do with the other. The web netting on the outer small pockets will serve me well for things like strike indicators and stripping fingers. I'm keeping extra line and tippet in one of the smaller outer pockets, and my retractors (hemostats) fit nicely into the MOLLE webbing on the left side. I'm actually going to have to discipline myself to NOT bring as much stuff as this vest will allow, otherwise I'd be weighed down. There are a couple of pockets on the back side, and I think I'll use the smaller zippered one for snacks when I trek far from the madding crowd. I've got my landing net magnet attached to the loop on the back side.I didn't buy it for this reason, but I think the breathable venting is a good feature that will allow me to use this vest in the summer, not just in the other seasons. I intend to be as gentle as possible on the zippers. They don't appear to be cheap, but my experience is that's where the problems start with products like this. I'll revisit that when I update this review.Lastly, I do like the OD green color, but I'm not wild about the orange accent. As another reviewer suggested, I might cut off some of the orange cords. My experience is that they have an almost magical ability to snag fish hooks. In summary, with this vest my decisions are now much easier about what to take and what to leave behind in my Mobile Fishing Command Post (AKA Ford F-150). Tight lines!UPDATE: I've fished with this vest about 10 times now, and so far I have nothing to complain about. I still have not exploited all of the storage possibilities, such as the hidden key retainer or the rear horizontal pocket. The left-sided zipper slider, which is normal for women's garments, seems a little weird, but it's a small thing and not really a bother once you're used to it. The zippers and seams are holding up well....so far.

I love this vest. The only compliant…. It ha a lot of snag points. I mitigate this by leaving the zippers on the sides and not on the top of the pockets.

This is everything I wanted in a vest and more. I’m impressed. 5 stars from me.

This thing is awesome! Sooooo many pockets, a loop and velcro to hold your fly rod or metal detector or even a paddle tether for your kayak.Loops for everything including a bear whistle. I am delighted at the light weight yet sturdy design. When I take a break from writing the Essential Guide to Prescription Drugs and head out on the kayak, I know that I have room for everything and even will fit in my Garmin Montana GPS! Nicely done and would buy it again

I purchased this in anticipation of a fly fishing vacation in Yellowstone. Works great, good quality. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 250 and this fit me no problem. I like the fact that it has a built in backpack to carry extra water or a light jacket or windbreaker. Water bottle holder in front is convenient as well.

This wearable, lightweight tackle box provides you with a simple way to organize your gear and take everything with you... not just when fly fishing.

Love my new Kylebooker Fly Fishing vest. I ordered the Khaki Backpack. Very impressed with the variety of functional options for my wading and hiking for shore fishing. The material is cool looking and looks very durable.Provides lots of storage including two hard case shelve for storing my flies and easy to use.The back rod holder I’ll make it easy to bring two rods now.Provides me lots of arm room for my paddling my float tubeKylebooker you’ve put a lot thinking in this vest...keep up the good work in your products that providing quality and good value.

The product works fine, except for the net hunger. Over time it begins to break the fabric. This is something that should be improved

Item is of good quality, lots of adjustment possibilities so will fit youth to adult. Recommend throwing in a few stitches after the adjustment as buckles slip a bit but I do this with all.Overall fit 5 -6'3 ftOverall very good value for the money

Can't be happier. I kayak fish alot and its convenient to have all my tackle with me easy to access..

NICE VEST LOTS OF POCKETS
