Tributary Vest

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Tributary Vest replaced my chest pack and my traditional vest in one shot. The front drop-tray gives me instant access to flies and tippet, the mesh body dries out fast when I take a spill, and the Hypalon tool docking station keeps my nippers and forceps right where I can grab them without thinking. It is the most functional vest I have fished in."

The best days on the water are the ones where the fishing never has to stop because gear is in the way. The Simms Tributary Vest is built around that kind of efficiency, combining a fully featured chest pack setup with a traditional vest layout in a single breathable, fast-drying piece that keeps everything organized and within reach from the first riffle to the last pool of the day.

The poly mesh main body breathes freely and sheds water fast, while durable 630 denier high-density Oxford nylon with TPU and PU coatings protects pockets and the back panel against the kind of abuse a full day of wading delivers. A YKK zippered front drop-tray with internal and external Velcro fly patch locations puts fly changes right at the fingertips, while two internal drop-in mesh pockets and a large zippered main chest pocket handle the rest of the day's essentials. The Hypalon tool docking station on the right side and webbing loops on the shoulders keep forceps, nippers, and other tools attached and accessible, and an integrated net holder slot plus D-ring on the back round out a vest that has thought through every moment of the fishing day.
