I give my thumbs up to the Maxcatch vest... I have two and regardless of the "made in China" bias, it's a good buy for the money and quite well made. I have:

A warning about this vest, though. The "back pack" is small. There is enough room to hold a light jacket, a bottle of water, a lunch and other small items. If you're looking for something for full day trips, get the bigger pack.

Given that the William Joseph pack is on sale, I might go for that. You can try before you buy, it will be easier to return, and you don't have to wait for 2-6 weeks (sometimes up to 3 months) for it to get here! Plus when ordering the Maxcatch vests you will have to pay duty. Probably only $10. In the end you are paying almost the same money. Every now and then you can find

Given all that, either vest is good. And I am willing to bet that both vests are made in China. Most things are made in China. Even the stuff labeled "MADE IN THE USA". Read up on American labeling laws. It's a huge scam.

It's safe.


oh. one last word about the maxcatch vest. It has room for BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE and zingers or retractors. Those suckers are surprisingly expensive so if the William Joseph comes loaded, go for it.
