I've decided to buy a quality warm weather vest. We hunt blue grouse and ptarmigan most of September, LOTS of walking some pretty stiff Colorado hills. If we're not doing that, it is the Nebraska sand hills for prairie grouse. Usually warm to hot weather--tee shirt after the sun is up. I love my Pella vest but it gets hot. My needs:
1. Strap type, don't want backpack type shoulder straps.
2. hydration capable plus water bottle holders for the dog
3. some sort of pouch for snacks, rain coat, dog food
4. front pockets for shells, gloves, gps, etc.
I've googled and am amazed by the variety, everything from $50 to $300! I'd like to hear what you've tried/like or dislike. I'm willing to plunk down considerable cash if I'm buying the right thing.
