I still consider the right vest far superior to the flat brimmed hat millennial inspired man purse , when wade fishing. Theres vented mesh summer vests when it’s too hot . The fly fishing vest invented by Lee Wulff is one of the most perfect fly fishing tools ever made. I know the wanna be cool kids who think they’re posing for a cover shot on fly fishing magazine wouldn’t be caught dead in a vest . Their inner low self esteem and burning desire to be thought of as “cool” and trendy and hate of anything a “ boomer” would wear makes them cling to their stupid sling purse as the modern cool thing to use. I think they look stupid , and are not as practical as the right vest. With a vest everything is right there in front of you in its place when you need it . With the sling purse you have to sling this stupid duffel
Bag from your back to your front and dig through it like a chick looking through her purse . That being said I do have a few chest packs I use when just going light and only going to carry a few things. When in my boat or raft I usually just use a boat bag and carry neither.
Sorry about the long tirade about the sling purse , but the demise of the vest as the iconic thing that it is in fly fishing is ridiculous, and I think
sling purses look stupid. I probably own about 7 or 8 vests of different designs by Orvis , Simms, Fish pond etc and wouldn’t trade one of them for a sling purse. I would cancel your order now WBD before you start
shopping for flat brimmed trucker hats, grow a hipster beard and start hanging out in fair trade only coffee shops in Brooklyn with Moosekid.
The sling purse is the gateway drug to all that. The sling purse will eventually go the way of Bell Bottom pants and Justin Bieber and
Other feeble attempts to feminize our society. Sling purses should only
Be sold in rainbow
colors proudly representing the LGBT community from which it came. Lol!
