Cabela's River Guide™ X20 3-in-1 Chest Vest

This system has more storage than any Cabela's vest. The vest combines all the great features of the Cabela's River Guide X3 chest vest plus a detachable, three-pocket backpack to carry lunch, drinks, extra clothes and more. Highlights include an attached expandable mesh bag, a D-ring net holder, the ability to store 20 large fly boxes, and hidden buckles and webbing keepers to minimize snagging your fly line. Independent foam panels increase air circulation on the back to keep you cool. The large front pocket folds down into a workstation for tedious tasks. Two front pockets are designed to hold zingers (not included). Two interior mesh pockets for tippets and leaders. One dry bag included. Abrasion-resistant 420-denier nylon shell. One size fits most. Imported. Color: Graphite.

Cabela's river guide chest vest, September 10, 2009
By FlyFisherLady from Corrales NM

"I bought this for my husband. He did not like the bulk in front and the thickness of the insert padding. My son ended up using the chest vest without the insert padding."

"Pros-
• Versatility – I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found three interchangeable options for the back (X straps / solid black, one pocket, mesh material pack / huge, multi pocket back pack). I was only expecting two after reading the description.
• Space for days – I fit everything I need and didn’t come close to filling every space. You could easily fit enough for a two or three day hike when using the back pack option.

Cons-
• Bulky and almost too big– It’s not a heavy pack by any means, but for a 6’, 160 lb guy it is a little bulky. I have every strap pulled as tight as it will go and it still hangs off me if I have on light weight clothing. Also, the chest pack is almost too big. Changing hands isn’t impossible but you have to reach more than usual.

Overall – This is the best pack for the money I have found. I have tried almost every one comparable and didn’t like any of them. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers a chest pack over a vest or waist pack, but be patient and wait for it to go on sale!

Catch em’ all!"
