OP doesn't want to spend that much unfortunately, Final Rise looks like a great vest but pricey. If I had waited a year I probably would have bought one of those instead of the Q5. Crazy how the vest market went from 2-3 major players to an explosion last year and now there are 6-7 good options for people.You might want to check out a vest from “final rise” while you’re looking…seems like it’s fits between two Orvis options mentioned above.
