the Cutbank Vest appeals to anglers who prefer a traditional setup, but with a new soft feel. Their proprietary Adept™ nylon taslan fabric stays dry, resists fading from the sun and won’t pill. Large fly or storage boxes fit easily into the lower pair of pockets, while the top two take leader wallets and tippet spools. The back compartments unzip to stash lunch, a rain shell and two cans of pilsner, while a hydration bladder slides easily into a stretch mesh cradle and exits via an over-the-shoulder hose guide. The ribbed collar keeps sun off the neck, a drawcord cinches it snug, two D-ring zingers keep track of nippers and a magnetic clip keeps the vest securely closed. The Cutbank is made using Adept, which is an extremely lightweight and durable nylon fabric with a Teflon DWR coating which gives it a 30+ UPF rating amking it extremely fade resistant.
