My latest and most favored choice is the very pricey strap vest from Orvis. The full name is Waxed Cotton Strap Vest and they are normally $199 but it's your lucky day and they're a mere $159 today.

I have not found another vest that has the spring metal open/close feature that this vest has on the shell pockets. I hunt hills, often very steep and brushy hills. I want to keep my shells in the pockets and the twigs and burrs out. This is the best rig I have found.


+1. My original is all but worn out, and I replaced it with another Orvis, slightly updated, at one of their discount sessions for $50. Like Chuck said, I really like the spring loaded pockets, not much bulk, nothing to scratch guns. I think I've OK for about 8-10 years...
