Behold, one of the coolest vest's we have ever seen. The brand spanking newPatagonia Guidewater Vest, retail value $200

According to Straq, Patagonia fly fishing product line designer, and proprietor of Wayupstream:

"The Guidewater Vest replaces old-school multiple pocket/flap storage with curved-zipper organization “panels.” This radical departure from convention attempts to improve visibility of, and access to, vest contents with one, single-handed motion. Angler-designed storage system conveniently and intuitively organizes fly boxes, tippet material and tools. The Guidewater Vest features stretch nylon and mesh construction, front and back snap storage, padded shoulder support, attachment points, removable fly patch and rod holder. This vest takes it's cues from our earlier models but that's where the similarities end."

While in Mongolia this fall, we were lucky enough to use one of these new vests, Auggie wore his nearly every minute of every day. The design is very versatile and the pocket design does pack a lot of gear without making it too bulky.

Here is Auggie, tending to a riverside fire, and wearing the Guidewater Vest.
