Orvis Chest Pack

Wore this on a windy tailwater all morning and never once had to dig through my vest. The unzipped front panel gives you a flat spot to tie on a new fly without juggling a box on your knees. Tippet spools stayed put in the pockets too.

The zip-down front panel is the feature I didn't know I needed — it gives me a flat spot to tie on a new tippet without juggling everything in my teeth. Keeps my fly boxes right at chest level too, so I'm not digging through a vest all day.

Took this out on the river last weekend and barely noticed I was wearing it, which is exactly what I wanted. The front pouches hold tippet spools and a fly box without everything tangling, and I can grab my nippers without looking down.
