Guideline Experience DW Vest

If you don’t need to carry lots of big fly boxes, this is the vest for you. If you like to be able to wade deep without getting the gear wet, this vest has a smooth height adjustment feature of the pockets to solve that. It also has a zippered tool garage on both sides for keeping tools, gadgets and floatants firm and not dangling. We have designed this vest with the trout minimalist and salmon angler in mind.

This vest's adjustment properties offer a unique flexibility. You can lower/heighten the pockets 5”/12cm to be able to cross a stream when deep wading or just use the flexibility to suit your preferred placement. Just open the buckle at the top, pull the pocket up and lock. Takes 3 seconds! The vest is convertible and fits our Experience and Alta back packs, it’s very light (543g) and comfortable to wear. Shoulders have padding and the rails at the front are also lightly padded to make sure you don’t feel any bulk towards your body.

Adjustability/Size: This vest is a one size that fits all. In the front bottom there is a magnetic buckle to keep the pockets together towards bottom centre so that they don’t interfere with casting. At the top front there is adjustable buckle. Side adjustment at both sides to pull the vest towards your body. Shoulders have comfortable padding for added comfort when carrying heavier load.
