For the last couple weeks I have been in the search of a new vest for this year. I was going to spend 70 on one from Redhead but I am one who likes to see the product before purchase and i was not driving three hours to do so. Since i was iffy on my decision i went to Dick's Sporting goods the other day and saw they had field and stream vest there. The strap style one looked to have pockets for everything along with it being lightweight. The seat seemed decent especially since i don't know how the Red Head seat was gonna be. Another plus is that the new vest is only 40 bucks but then i have a coupon to take 10 bucks off. Even if this vest only last about 3 seasons I will be happy. If you are in the search of a new vest and want to go cheap i would go and check out these vest at your local Dick's Store.
