Should ya buy vests a size bigger than you would a jacket or shirt? I was
out Steelheading on the Silver River in Michigan's Western UP the other
day
and was wearing a T shirt, heavy flannel shirt, waders and had my vest on
over all that and it was a bit snug.

Well, it should fit alright when you already have all the other gear that
you are going to wear on, otherwise it will restrict you considerably. I
don´t like vests much, for this reason. I tend to wear jackets for most of
my fishing. Especially when it is cold, and I am wading etc, then I use a
short wading jacket, ( which only has a couple of small pockets), over my
breathables, and carry a chest harness pack with a rear pocket, for my gear.
A vest full of stuff, whether it fits or nor, tends to be restrictive
anyway. and will not usually keep you very warm either.

If one will lay off the donuts, they seem to fit me a little better

A vest full of stuff....... will not usually keep you very warm either.

In my experience, Mike, that is true in the winter. In the summer,
however, a vest does a very effective job of keeping one VERY warm.

Indeed! A set of neoprene chest waders, ( preferably 5mm neoprene) will
also help considerably!
