Q – How do the tippet pockets work?

A – The tippet pockets have two dividers inside of them to keep three spools of tippet materials separated. The pockets have two cover flaps that close over the top of the tippet spools, which have hook and loop (Velcro™) sewn between them. The tippet from each spool passes up through holes in the bottom cover towards the rear of the pocket, threads across the hook and loop and then goes up and out through holes in the top cover where it can be grasped for use. The tippet spools should be loaded with the devices to hold the end of the tippet removed so the spools turn freely. The tippet material has enough tension on it not to pull out too easily and the spools inside do not get tangled.

Q - How should the belt fit me?

A -  The Fanny Pack and Flats Fisherman's vests are made to be adjusted in order to go over layers of clothing. There is enough extra webbing behind the buckle to adjust the belt to accommodate heavy waders and extra clothing in cold weather. If the vest is adjusted properly, it should not slide down over the hips and should slide up and stay under the armpits when wading deeply.


Q – Can I get other colors or styles?

A – Custom belt vests can be made to suit your needs. Examples include vests in other colors and left handed models.

Q – Why are these vests made in Montana?

A – The belt vest is made in Montana by hard working, tax paying citizens instead of in a sweat shop in Indonesia or Mexico. The quality of materials and workmanship is easier to control here at home. The product does end up costing more than something bought at a discount store!
