I tried about every brand of vest out there - A vest, even mesh, is just too hot in the summer – AND I do not understand why vest makers are so hung up on black – I know black does not show the discoloration that a lighter color will show – but have any of you ever used a laser thermometer and looked at temperature difference between anything black and anything of a lighter color? Well I have - and you don’t even need a thermometer if it is on your back…………(black absorbs and lighter colors reflect) ……you can feel it.
I use a box-holder and hull bag with a t-shirt in spring-summer-fall and go up from there as weather dictates.
