Fishpond FlyLite Women’s Vest
The Fishpond FlyLite Women’s Vest is a lightweight, women-specific fly fishing vest designed, developed, and tested by women. With 15 strategically placed pockets and a breathable mesh construction, it provides plenty of storage and organization while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
Padded, weight-distributing shoulder straps improve comfort during long days on the water, while an adjustable sternum strap with a sliding rail system allows the fit to be customized. A magnetic clasp provides quick and convenient closure.
The FlyLite includes dedicated storage and attachment points for the gear we use most, including an integrated rod holder, rear net slot, Hypalon® tool attachments, and a large back pouch for carrying an extra layer or water.

I’ve been using this vest for several weeks now and it’s a game changer. The mesh is breathable and the weight is minimal. The rod holder and net slot are exactly where I need them. The magnetic closure makes it easy to put on and take off quickly.

Fits well with my frame and the adjustable sternum strap helps me find the right fit. I love the organization—everything from my leader to my tools is in place. A little room for improvement in the back pouch size, but overall very functional.

Designed by women for women, this vest feels intuitive and practical. The pockets are thoughtfully placed and the padding on the straps really eases the strain during long days on the water.
