If Filson still makes the "Original Hunting Vest" they work great but are warm early in the year and the price is obscene. I have owned one for over 30 years and it still serves me well. It has a front loading game bag, plenty of pockets and a pocket on the back up by your shoulder blades that can hold a sandwich and not get crushed. They are made of heavy canvas and the last few years tend to feel heavy at the end of the day. They didn't used to feel that way so I gather mine has gained significant weight from dirt and such over the years.
For warm weather I use their strap vest and I replaced the metal buckle with a plastic one. Filson has a couple of new strap vests that I have looked at and they are a cross between the Original Hunting Vest and the strap vest and are also well made with a front loading game vest.
Someone mentioned Bean and they make good gear but a Filson will be the last vest you buy. I know several folks who purchased the Wing Works and liked it.
