Description: Cabela’s Pro-Guide 3 in 1 Vest


At first glance Cabela’s 3 in 1 vest looks more like something out of Science Digest rather than Field and Stream. Don’t let first appearances scare you away. This special pack is loaded with room, tons of great features and an adjustable elastic-cord to help you tote whatever you might possibly need in a days worth of fishing.

Cabela’s Pro-Guide 3 in 1 Vest


At first glance Cabela’s 3 in 1 vest looks more like something out of Science Digest rather than Field and Stream. Don’t let first appearances scare you away. This special pack is loaded with room, tons of great features and an adjustable elastic-cord to help you tote whatever you might possibly need in a days worth of fishing. The bottom line is no matter what you are looking for in a fishing vest this pack will keep you organized and comfortable while you are out on the water which in turn will keep you happier and fishing longer.


The single most important reason behind wearing a fishing vest is to hold the many fly-fishing necessities used in days worth of fishing. Understandably, there are many different items that anglers wish they could bring with them on a day of fishing therefore having a vest that contains large and small pockets is must. Ideally having a vest that can store all your fishing necessities in one place is the best way to go. Front packs like the Pro-guide 3 in 1 vest tested here are great for fly anglers because the large front pocket can hold specialized tools and fly boxes. Having everything at your finger tips and not having to take off your vest to find items is a definite plus. Additionally the chest pack folds out into a working surface helping you keep everything right were you need it. Furthermore, the Pro-guide vest has a good variety and number of smaller sized pockets. These smaller pockets help you keep tiny items like split shots and strike indicators neat and organized.


Like other vests this pack has a normal large rear back panel pocket for carrying large items. In addition, to this large rear pocket, this vest has an optional backpack. Packing out for weekend or day long fishing trips is not ever easy. Having enough room for food, clothing and tackle is always a challenge but the Pro-guide vest most certainly makes things a bit easier. For guides or anglers who plan on taking kids out fishing, this pack is great. The Pro-guide vest has enough room to plan for foul weather and a delicious shore lunch while staying comfortable and functional. Demonstrating the finer points of casting and presenting flies to hungry fish can still be done with a full comfortable pack.


Another nice attribute of the Pro-guide vest is the padded shoulder straps and open concept design. The padded straps are very comfortable to wear with weight on the back, even for long hours. One word to the wise for anglers that have never worn a front pack before, be careful how you balance your vest. If too much weight is placed in the back you will feel like the vest is constantly riding up your chest. The open design and moisture wicking mesh of this vest make it enjoyable for fishing the hot summer months.
