My Angle
I'm a tweener with a 46" chest, I sized down to the M/L and glad I did. Love the color, feel & fit. I think the inside pocket pouches are a tad tight. I like the rings inside though. I would prefer if it came without plier holders. I rarely use pliers, so I'm curently using it to hold my knife. I got sold on the "angler" aspect of the vest, but realize the 2 things angling specific (rod & plier holders) i don't use. The platform pockets are cool. I really like the vest and it's as good as advertised. I realize I could have explored other NRS vests with different features that perhaps I could have utilized more. Very well could have landed on the Chinook anyway. Great product & company!
