I hope that you never fall into a body of water with your vest full of supplies on because it will serve as an anchor rather than a life vest.
On the other hand, my hunting bags will probably float unless I have my 2lb or 4lb shop hammer in a pocket.

Our issue is that if you get near a road, or smell the diesel of a construction site, you have to be compliant with the reflective and color. Th old hunting vest is not compliant within a year or so.
If I set something on a fence post or limb, I will be buying it and all of the contents tomorrow (as I wonder where I left it).
One thing about the hunting pocket belt is that there is one large compartment that I can put ice and drinks in to get me across a portion of wooded area that I can not ride my ATV.
If you leave anything, you will know it on the next setup and will have to backtrack to your last point where you used your DC.
That is unless you are not really needing all the stuff that you have in your vest and carry all those supplies to feel complete.

Wash vest in cold water, air dry only.?ÿ Dries easily overnight and mine still has some color even after a couple years.
And the hell with sharpies, I've never had a sharpie that worked right in my entire short career.?ÿ Ideal markers for life!
