I use an 18yo simms vest then wear a proper back pack. Just a better set up than the vest/pack imo. That way I can throw extras in for a day trip, stuff the vest in the bag for hike ins/outs, or use a bigger bag and stuff waders etc. Makes it nice to still have my go to vest for every form of fishing and not have to transfer stuff, use fanny packs and so on.
