Not inexpensive but worth the price. |
That looks like a really nice vest. Much more room for stuff than mine. I have had the one at the link below for several years and the only issue is that the orange gets really dirty with use and there is a buckle that I have to be careful with:

I can carry shotshells, compass and a couple bottles of water pretty comfortably. Add a couple of dead pheasants and I wouldn't want to be carrying them all day with this vest.
I like the strap vest because I can hunt in a t-shirt or a parka depending upon weather conditions. I also like and would recommend Filsons Tin cloth chaps. I have the single layer ones that are nearly worn through at the bottoms. The next pair will be the double tin cloth model.
