I have a few vests. I prefer my llbean strap vest the most but I always have a mothers vest I like, the beretta vest is comfortable in colder weather. I also have the Columbia ptarmigan vest and jacket and they are probally the easiest to load birds in from the front and they hold your bottled water upright so it doesn't spill everywhere.

Check out the llbean and ptarmigan

I have a quilomene strap vest which is fine, but heavy.  I'm going to get a wingworks vest.  Expensive, but I like the water bottle setup and transmitter holsters.

I love my Wingworks  vest. I can't wait to see what it looks like in 20 years. It is built to last, comfortable and well thought out.

I own several; my favorite is an LL Bean strap vest, but the design is no longer offered by them. :( I like my Filson strap vest, but not the metal hardware that on occasion causes gun scratching. :bdid:

I have an older Columbia vest that I think they don't make anymore that holds 30 rounds in speed loader tubes. Works great for east side when you get into large coveys.

I used to have a Filson strap vest and got rid of it after the metal buckles kept scratching my gun, and after birds kept falling out of the low sides of the game bag.   Not very well thought out I'm afraid.
