I got my final rise vest three years ago.
Best vest I have ever owned. I like the ability to distribute the weight with the waist strap. The across the chest strap helps keep the shoulder straps in place. The shoulder straps are thin and don't interfere with shouldering the shotgun.
I carry water bottles for the dogs in the rear, opting not to use the supplied bottles and holders. I also don't put many shells in my right front bag. Extra shells are in a baggie in rear. Left front pocket is used to hold the phone and Garmin dog tracking unit. The webbing and pockets allow storage of an extra jacket or pullover long sleeve shirt. Throughout the vest are small zippered pockets which come in handy for storing small items.
