I've had mine for 8-10 seasons now, it is what it is. Basic vest, indestructible, Filson quality. If you're looking for cool mesh, Velcro, and twenty-seven specialty pockets for a GPS, cell phone, electronic dog collar remote, solar charger, I-Pod, cigar holder and cutter, scotch flask, etc., probably not a good choice. If you're wanting a basic vest that will hold your birds and shells, and will last forever, can't imagine you'd be disappointed.
