Who uses a chest pack in lieu of an old school vest? Pro/cons?
It looks like they may be a lot cooler in the summer if you just have the straps in the back.
Do they inhibit casting at all?

Trent,
I purchased one of the chest packs at the club auction in October. I have only used it once but I can say it did not inhibit my casting.
The biggest advantage I can see with a chest pack is it forces you to pare down what you take with you.
With a vest you tend to buy the one with the most pockets and then you try to fill all of those pockets.

Rick,
absolutely. My vest weighs so much more than it really would have to. I've got the space, so I throw in the kitchen sink, nevermind that I'm not going to be using half the stuff in there on any given trip.
I was just looking at some on Cabela's website. They had a couple on sale.
