Glenn: Yeah, that is what I'm afraid of next Spring and Summer.. First cpl times I wore it, it was in the low 80's here and I was sweating BAD...(and the vest is 100% cotton) Before I got it, I had been using the camper pants, that have two HUGE pockets in front, then the normal front pockets, back pockets and a cpl little pockets.. Then I had a two compartment Fanny pack, and it served me well.. But I LOVE the idea of just grabbing my rod, and the vest and getting in the car.... I bet next Summer, I'll leave the vest at home most days, or find one of those NASCAR "cool suits" on ebay LOL.....Chuck

Subject: Re: [VFB] Vest Question??? Use a side pack...

Wood River ,If they are still in business ,is a side pack that can hold more flies than any vest I own, For over twenty years I never had to wear a vest and I don't suffer by the heat of wearing an extra garment ,no more neck or shoulder pain and when I'm waiting for the hatch it makes a great head rest. They stay dry even in the worst rain or the bottom half was in the water of course they are adjustable and I can adjust them as far as I dare wade and I have a reputation, those who know me and experience fishing with me ,know it will be crazy to follow me. I usually wear the pack to my back side to keep it out of the way.......Glenn Overton

way to go Chuck!!  I just stuck it in "favorites" for a little winter reading.  I forgot to mention that after "putting it on and loading it", that if you feel at the end of the day/nite, your neck and shoulders are aching, then there's too much in it!!  Happened to me a few times...
