The Patagonia Guidewater Vest helps you find that tippet, tool or fly you need without taking your eyes of your intended catch. Replacing old school flap-covered pockets with a curved-zipper panel organization system, this fisherman's vest improves visibility and access for stowing contents with a single-handed motion. The angler-designed storage system intuitively organizes everything you need and puts it at your fingertips. Convenient features include dual front closures (zipper and clasp) for versatile fit over layers, padded shoulder support, brushed-mesh lined handwarmer pockets, two internal zip pockets, back storage, multiple attachment points, removable fly patch, and built-in rod holder; all in polyester mesh and 100% woven nylon.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Patagonia Guidewater Vest is available through Altrec.com.

The greatest vest for those who use long leaders and tippets
The ergonomic design gives a comfortable fit. I normally use a long leader when I fly fish. The time I spend for tangled leaders has been tremendously reduced thanks to the smooth exterior design.

lives up to patagonia quality...
overall a nice vest...fit and finish on parr with top end simms gear. lots of good pockets (outside and inside) and a nice outside fly patch. not sure what all the exterior loops and hooks are exactly for...i use them to clip my forceps to low cut (just above the belt line) - so it doesnt constantly dip in the water when your wadiing out deep. styling is a nice touch too...curved front patches are unlike any other vest i have seen... im around 5-8 and 185 lbs - large fit me fine - can even wear multiple underlayers and it is still easy fitting. it is really 3x better than a basic mesh vest...not really..but if you want to get somehting a bit nicer its well worth it...id buy it again..

Very nice vest
I didn't realize this vest was shorter than what I normally wear. Will take a little getting use too. However the layout of pockets and the zipper arrangement provides a much nicer access to everything without bulky pockets that use velcro or a button. Can't wait to get on the Pa. streams and try it out!
