The Caribou retains the appeal of a true fishing vest for anglers who want to distribute their gear across their upper body. The large zippered pockets hold tackle boxes, while the Velcro pockets accommodate accessories that need to be accessed quickly. The large back pocket adds extra space for a garment, an extra tackle box, or small gear. The shoulders feature a breathable, flexible layer that helps distribute weight more evenly. The ribbed collar and mesh lining make it more comfortable to wear during active days on the water.
