Fishing Vest – Lightweight Multi-Pocket Travel Vest for Men

Hands Free. Pockets Full. Nothing Left in the Ute.

You are halfway down the rocks to the water when you realise the pliers are back on the tailgate. The phone is in one pocket of your shorts, the car keys in the other, the sunnies are hooked on your shirt, and there is nowhere left for the leader spool or the snack you will want at three o'clock.

Shorts pockets were never made to carry a day's worth of small gear. A backpack works until you want something out of it, and then it is off the shoulders, down on the wet rock, and unzipped every ten minutes.

A vest puts all of it on your chest, where your hands can find it.

Here's How It Works

The front carries six exterior pockets in three rows. Up top sit two chest pockets with flaps, sized for a phone, a tackle box or a wallet. Below them run two horizontal zip pockets for the things you cannot afford to lose, like car keys, cards and a licence. At the bottom are two large flap pockets that take a pair of gloves, a beanie, a snack or a folded map.

Because the weight is spread across the front and carried on the shoulders, nothing drags on your belt or bounces against your legs. You can cast, climb over rocks or hold a camera with both hands and still reach everything without taking anything off.

The shell is a light woven fabric with a full-length front zip and a stand collar. With no sleeves it does not trap heat on a warm morning, and it layers straight over a T-shirt, a long-sleeve fishing shirt or a light jumper when the southerly comes through in the afternoon.

It is just as useful away from the water. On a day hike, at the footy, on a photography trip or wandering a market overseas, the same pockets keep your phone, wallet and passport in front of you rather than in a back pocket.

The Gear It Replaces

• Bulging shorts pockets — everything in two pockets and nothing where you need it
• A backpack for small gear — off the shoulders every time you need the pliers
• A bum bag — one compartment, and it swings around as you move
• A heavy work jacket — plenty of pockets, and far too hot by mid-morning

What's In It

• Two chest flap pockets — phone, tackle box or wallet at chest height
• Two horizontal zip pockets — keys and cards stay closed in
• Two large lower flap pockets — room for gloves, a beanie or a snack
• Full-length front zip — open on a hot day, closed when the wind picks up
• Stand collar — a clean neckline that sits flat under a hat brim
• Sleeveless lightweight shell — layers over a shirt without adding heat or bulk

Fit and Sizing

Sizes are listed as the maker labels them, from M to 7XL. The maker has not supplied a measured size chart for this vest yet, so we cannot give chest measurements. The cut is a relaxed layering vest made to sit over a shirt or a light jumper: if you are between sizes, or you plan to wear it over warmer layers, choose the larger size.
