Filson 20 Pocket Travel Vest Instead of a Sporran

A good idea-for those in the UK-Rohan do an excellent travel waistcoat, with ample pockets-that with a side sporran and on can face anything.

I have a 5.11 vest I've been using the last couple of years for it's pockets ... and pockets ... and pockets.

As much as I like the idea of a vest, tried the Filson and the 5.11, I can not warm up to them. How do you get used to it?

No clue, I've been a "vest junkie" most of my life. Just like having my "stuff" higher up on my body I guess. In cool weather of course.

Hard to find vests with enough pockets to replace a sporran.

Didn't take a picture because he looked so gross, and fear it may be a new fashion, on the last trip down canyon a European guy on the raft wore a vest and no shirt. Just a lot of hair underneath. That looked weird to me. Can't recall what nation he was from. Maybe it looked weird to me because he wore it closed in front rather than open.
