I really like the William Joseph Coastal vest pack that I got my
girlfriend.
If you are carrying as much weight as you've indicated, I think you'd like
this vest. It is well padded and infinitely adjustable. You won't need
water
bottles because you can put a water bladder in the pack and still have
room
for your rain jacket, etc.

I'm taking a trip down into civilization later this month and plan on
visiting some outfitters to try some vests but it seems to me that the
vest
in the shop and the same vest with 10-14 pounds of gear stuffed inside
might
be very different experiences.

Cost is really not a problem, I just want a good vest. I have a good
chest
pack already,,,

Thanks for the advice and sharing your experiences.

I have the Simms Mesh Vest (old style with large vertical pockets) and
the
Cabelas Deluxe Chest Vest. I also have a small chest pack that was
made
locally by a friend. I like all of them.

I got my girlfriend the William Joseph Coastal chest vest and was most
impressed. It was a fine piece of work. However, if money is an issue,
then
I'd go with the Cabelas Deluxe Chest Vest which is on sale now for
$30.

My suggestion is to try on a number of vest at a fly shop and see how
you
like them. Alternately, you could borrow a friend's vest which you
like
to
see how it carries the weight.
