thank you, Francis. I bought the cheapo vest just to get through weight control

all the good stuff seems out of production. The paramo stuff gets very mixed reviews online

Yes, I noticed this.  I was going to recommend my Dome vest, but that is out of production as well.  I wonder why these vests seem to be losing popularity.

My cheapo vest has already shipped!

I also remember Ann uses that trick and has a quality supplier.

I still do that: the splendid Vested Interest vest (which was custom-made for me with huge pockets that are big enough for a 70-200mm 2.8) is still in excellent condition after some nine years of use.

Unfortunately, the Vested Interest company itself (they were part of Storrie Parachute Works in Denton, TX) seems to have closed its doors and it's domain name is vacant.
