Fly fishing guides spend 200+ days on the water, making them the envy of every recreational fly fisher, us included. Simms G3 Guide Vest was inspired by these lucky guides who need tough, reliable equipment - including vests with lots of room. The G3 is built to take the weather, the sweat and - good news for the beginner - the occasional bad cast that hooks you in the back. A total of 19 pockets mean that there's a cozy place for all your gear - and a sandwich or two. We love all the ample zippers and Velcro latches because it seems some piece of gear is always tumbling out of your vest whenever you bend over to release a fish. Simms promises that the draw cord waist will keep the G3 Guide Vest snug, another cool feature that would come in handy whenever you're bushwhacking to the next hole. Two retractors will keep your hemostats and your floatant - or, perhaps, a beer bottle opener - within easy reach.

From thorough independent research, we selected the G3 Guide Vest as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Fly Vests selections visit our Fly Vests Overview.
