Favorite Fishing Vest

[TroutBuster]

Thinking about getting a new "vest" for this season. Just curious as to whatever ones favorite kind of vest is... ie: traditional vest, the newer chest pack design, or whatever else you use.

I have a regular vest, but Ive always been more of a fan of the canvas creel filled with tackle. Light and easy to set on the bank when fishing, but its getting to be too small for my needs so I'm thinking of switching to something else.

I don't really have a favorite brand, but I always buy shortie vests. I usually fish large streams and wade deep, and they're a must for that IMO.
I also make sure that a vest I buy has zippered pockets - to lock stuff in. I lost a box of flies in the little juniata many years ago,and have learned to keep things properly put away
