I was out the other day looking for a new vest, couldn't find one. I have a warm weather vest but the middle of this month I'm going on a three day trip that might be a bit cold. What I was looking for was a vest I could wear over my Carhart coat with a flannel shirt underneath, couldn't find it. Biggest size I found was 2X and it wouldn't do. In the past I carried a game bag I had my mother make for me from burlap. Was much better than the game bag in the back of the vest. Had a shoulder strap and the bag hung about my waist.
Got to looking around more and found a couple canvas fishing tackle boxes with plastic tray's in them I thought would work. To shallow and the inside lined with plastic. So on the way home I thought if I could find the material Carhart's are made from I might find an understanding lady friend that would make me a new game bag. Gonna be to late for this up comming trip though so will have to struggle thru with my fair weather vest somehow. Rat's!!!

Fully adjustable strap vest style means you can wear it on a hot quail hunt or frigid grouse hunt, layering underneath or not as needed. Plenty of room for gear -- water bottles to first aid kits -- and lots of birds, too. Adjustable straps, mesh pockets, water bottle holder. Made in USA.

inner back pocket with blood-proof lining

Once I bought one I have used nothing else. The big advantage is that you can use them in any weather. I don't know why more people don't use them. You can wear whatever you need to underneath. It is simple, smart, and it works.
Here's a link for the vendor that supplied the info:

Uglydog is a great company to deal with as well.
