I'm a professional guide and photographer. I travel through a lot of international airports and I'm constantly digging for my boarding passes, visa papers, and passport. I specialize in traveling in Asian countries. I've been looking for a good travel vest for a long time, but none of them ever fit the bill - and the eventual price was always way out of wack. This vest is cheap, works good, and best of all is simple, yet includes those security features I need while traveling abroad or in unsafe locations.

This vest is about $30, but the amount of gear I've lost from the shoddy velcro has made the vest more like $100. Also, the zipper undoes itself from the bottom up, on average, 1 or 2 times per use. I should have just ponied up the money for a better vest. And this is not a knock against Gander Mtn. I shop there quite a bit, and have always been impressed with the quality of the product and the helpful staff. But this vest has made me so angry on so many occasions that I felt it should be brought to Gander Mtn's attention. If I still had the receipt I would return it.

Comments about Gander Mountain® Basic Fly-Fishing Vest:
I originally had this vest in the past for myself.. But due to a family member's health problems, he needed a vest for carrying his oxygen, meds and devices to help him go to his appointments and make it easier on everyday life. I gave him my first fishing vest and it was PERFECT! It had been used so much, it had worn out and his wife had purchased similar ones, but they were not doing the job.. we were excited to find one on your website. We recieved it in a matter of a few days and it was put to "work" immediately. THANK YOU so much! Making life alot easier for him, what else can I say!

Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was very quick. I ordered it late for a birthday gift and thought I would have to make a card saying that the gift was on the way, but it came before the party by a couple of days.
