$175? Hell, buy one of these and then send me the remainder:

I agree. I use some sort of Orvis vest that I picked up in SF sometime,
years ago, for around $25. What's good about it is that it's made of
nylon netting that takes up no room and weighs nothing so the whole
thing can be rolled up and stuffed somewhere.
I can't imagine what would make it worth spending twice that.

For me, the aim of fly fishing is how little can you carry? A matchbox
with a few flies in it, a rod, a reel with a line, floatant. A net if
you want to eat some fish ( you don't need one otherwise.)

What more? that's the whole point. It should really all fit in your
pants pocket. But then there's the cheese sandwich, and the apple, and
the chocolate bar...
