I have a Pella Bird-n Lite vest that is nice but sometimes can be a little warm.

http://www.pellaproducts.com/list_products/

Last weekend I used my Filson Strap Vest for the first time. It is  light weight and keeps me cool but doesn't carry much. Works well for hunting coverts out of the truck but would not be a good all day choice.

The Wing Works are bad ass and worth the money. This would be my choice if I was investing in a do-all vest.

As for jackets, I rarely wear a hunting coat unless it is really cold and/or snowing. Otherwise I layer under my vest with a windstopper jacket or light shell.
water bottles in layme spot don't you think!

Which one has lame water bottle placement?

The Wing Works seems fine when you see someone wearing it.

The way the Pella fits me it is - too high and too far back.

I now have a llbean, mothers, Columbia jacket and got my beretta vest in the mail today, plan to do a test of each of them and do a write up, if anyone has a suggestion let me know, I plan on testing the amount of weight they can hold, ease of water access for the dogs, doing a handstand with shells in the shell pockets and seeing how well they stay put among others, should be done by christmas

Beretta White Wing 12ga Approx 20k rounds and still going strong!
