Travel clothes

My old Fishing Vest that I wear while traveling is getting worn out so I just checked the web to see what is available.

Was not aware that they are now called "Concealed Carry Vests". Interesting to read the comments for one star ratings---Pistol sight wore hole in material; Vest only carries 4 magazines; pistol falls out when I lean over.

LL Bean seems to be the only one who still uses buttons on pockets; don't like velcro as blood clogs it up and pockets won't stay closed.

How about replacing both your vest and your luggage with a JAKTOGO?

Hopeful--Jaktogo would make me look too Cool.

and Solo I do carry a knife--hard to beat those push button switch blade knifes sold in Antigua Market for $8. Usually buy at least 7 or 8 to give as presents when I get back home. Leaving Peru last fall, Custroms had me open my bag to take out "contreband". Thought for sure they wanted my knives--they wanted my two mounted blue morph butterflies!

Main reason I wear a vest is because it has lots of pockets that I have to put stuff into because my daughter and Novia have no pockets in their womens clothes. Guess who also has to bring a day pack for their junk.
