The Switch Vest is the backbone for our pouch system and is the easiest way to carry all your gear and keep it up out of the water when wading deep. Built from rugged abrasion resistant USA Cordura nylon and lined with heavy duty breathable mesh fabric, not that flimsy bathing suit mesh liner the other guys use, it’s built to last a lifetime and carry a lifetime’s worth of gear organized and ready to use. It’s rugged simplicity and infinite reconfigurability make it a must for the angler who pursues all types of tail.
Is it expensive? Yes, but keep in mind that it’s like getting a vest with four individual waist packs too. Go price that from the competition!

Top Ten signs a Switch Vest is for you:
1. If you ‘ve ever worn out a vest and wished they were built to last a little longer and/or Made in the USA
2. If you find yourself in tricky places where you can’t worry about a pack moving around on you and getting off balance

4. If you’ve ever wondered what some the “features” on your current vest are
5. If you hate to wear your vest in a boat
6. If you’ve ever said, “shit! I left that [insert critical piece of terminal tackle here] on the coffee table”
