Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Customers like the drying time, size and weight of the fishing vest. For example, they mention that it does dry quickly, has plenty of pockets of good size and that the back has a large zippered pocket.

Main complaint after wearing a few times - it's too short. I prefer a length at least down to waistline, but I neglected to verify length with a tape measure before ordering. I should add that I use it as a travel vest, not for fishing. It is definitely cooler than a nylon version however. I am going to offer it to the wife if she's interested in wearing/using it.
I was excited to get this vest then when it arrived I was VERY disappointed that it was NOT as pictured-Navy green/Sage green....it was solid super bright Tan...Not what I wanted at all!! I contacted the company and found out this vest only comes in one color-Sage-(which is the solid bright tan with a sage collar)and the Navy green/Sage green vest in the picture doesn't exist! If you Google the vest you can see the actual color online....oddly dozens of other sites also have the false green vest picture advertised. As far as the vest is concerned it is a great vest...no complaints..zippers work fine, the rod holder so you can change flies/lures easily is great, the amount, type and placement of the pockets is perfect, I like the quick dry mesh, and it's very comfortable(especially the collar)...if it was the color advertised I would give it 5 stars...but since it's an ugly bright tan that will reflect sunlight and scare the fish I am giving it a 2!
I bought this vest for trout fishing. It is a light weight vest. It does dry quickly. It does not have as many pockets as I first thought. If you like a vest with a lot of room for your tackle, this is not the vest you want. If I plan on walking the river far away from my truck, I use my old vest and leave this one at home.
I like to walk around the reservoir sometimes and fish different spots, using different leaders and lures. I'm not a fly fisherman so I can't say if this vest has everything you need for that. For the bass and trout fishing I do this vest works fine at a great price. The big pockets at the bottom will easily hold a Plano 3500 utility box. One review said the zippers opened up too big, I don't agree. They run around two sides of the big pockets so getting the utility boxes in and out are a snap. Well designed, I think. Includes basic loop and velcro that will hold your rod while you change tackle or take the hook out. Finally, the fit is 'relaxed' so it can be worn over jackets in the early season.
At first glance, this fishing vest seems rather light. However, it is light in a very good and useful way
The numerous pockets are both well set and located as well as generous in quantity and size. One Velcro® latching covered patch allows the wearer to hook their soaked flies in order to dry. The back has a large zippered pocket to which you might put maps, fishing and driving licenses or other important card our papers. Until I know for certain, I cannot say whether or not this pocket is waterproof.
The vest is comfortable and it doesn't feel binding. Any further updates will be posted later.
The vest isn't as long as I would prefer, fair quality, plenty of pockets of good size. Not a huge fan of the big bottom zipper placement and angles. Won't buy a new vest for a long time but probably would have bought a different vest.
For the amount of money you pay for this product, it's a steal. It's built very well with decent sized pockets to hold just about anything. The only minor problem I had were the zippers at first, but after getting used to them, it's easy to close them with one hand. I've used this primarily throughout the summer and it breathed well, but I imagine that isn't much of a problem with most vests. I intentionally got one size lower than I would have if I used the size charts, so it would ride a bit higher so I can go into the water deeper. Still, it fits well. I would advise this for beginners and novices alike.
