RFC chest packs vs vests

I'm looking at both William Joseph's and Watermark's chest packs.
The concept looks great, can anyone share their real life experience
with a chest pack?


I've been using a William Joseph for some years, and I have some mixed
feelings. The one I have is pretty big, but not so big, and doesn't cover
so much as a vest. I think it's cooler in the summer.

It doesn't have as many pockets as a vest, and I can't carry as many fly
boxes. This hasn't proven to be an obstacle so bit that I've needed to
switch back to the vest. There are two real compartments that hold fly
boxes, and if you have more than one box in a compartment with assorted
doodickeys like strike indicators and shot, you need to be a little careful
not to dump any of the contents.

I've had one of the coiled retractors fall off the coil.
