Four stars and possibly more! By the wooden canoe from Rochester, MN on 11/07/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Functional Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Fresh Water Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The season had just closed when this vest was offered. I give it 4+ stars upon opening the package; I'd likely give it 5 after a season's use. It appears to have even more features and flexibility than I had expected. I'm looking forward to next years opener to see how it really performs.
Best Hydration Vest for the Dollar By Joe Bo from Colorado on 08/30/2008 Pros: Easy To Use, Functional, Lots of storage, Well organized Best Uses: Fresh Water, Traveling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is one of the best products I have purchase so far from Sierra. I wanted a hydration vest that was comfortable, could carry my 6 fly boxes, and all my gadgets, including my camera. Well I got all the functions I was looking for 1/3 the price of the more well known name brands.
By Go Fish from Pheonix, AZ on 04/28/2008 Pros: Easy To Use, Functional Best Uses: Fresh Water, Traveling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I gave this product a 4, because I have yet to find a pack that is truly perfect. This one is however very good and probably more like a 4.5. It's light weight and seems to have adequate space for a day-trip. I really like the mesh backs (for breathability), the hidden zingers (on bottom), hydration bladder, d-ring on back and it can convert to a single unit belt pack. Included belt has an additional d-ring; a nice plus. With some creative ingenuity it can also be modified to act as a single unit chest pack, which may be more practical if you don't need the extra capacity. I'm 5'10", approx. 200 lbs and with both front packs, it does interfere with my cast just a bit. For a larger person this probably won't be an issue, but for a smaller person it could be a possible concern. In conclusion, the only suggestion for improving (that I can think of anyway) would be a rod holding strap. But at this price it is still an excellent value.
