Patagonia: Guidewater Vest

Innovative design and technology applied to the fishing vest concept blurs the distinction between jacket, vest and pack. Our Guidewater Vest replaces old-school multiple pocket/flap storage with curved-zipper organization pockets. This radical departure from convention means vastly improved visibility of, and access to, vest contents with one single-handed motion. The angler-designed storage system conveniently and intuitively organizes fly boxes, tippet material and tools. Additional details: mesh and stretch-woven polyester construction, padded shoulder support, brushed-mesh lined handwarmer pockets, two internal zip pockets, back snap storage, attachment points, removable fly patch and built-in rod holder.
