When buying fly fishing vest

August 4th, 2009

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make when choosing a vest is the type of material it’s made from.  Two of the most common options are fabric and mesh.  Either material is fine, so this is basically just a personal choice.  However, a mesh vest will be much cooler during the summer.  It can also stretch more than a fabric vest can. The fly fishing vest should also have a big pocket at the back where you can tuck in some light rain gear just in case. A small ring at the back of the collar of the vest will come handy to keep the net out of the way. Your vest or jacket also has to be comfortable enough for any weather condition.  The best vests have zip out liners which you can adjust according to weather.  Your get up is as important as any other part of your fly fishing gear because if you are too hot or too cold then chances are fly fishing won’t be fun and enjoyable for you.
