I have a Fishpond fly vest that is extremely well made, love it, the thunderhead submersible pack, totally waterproof. Use it in foul weather to protect the camera etc. When I worked in a fly shop I was able to play with a lot of their products. Never did see returns.

With respect to durability, I wouldn't hesitate to buy Fishpond products. I've had one of their backpacks for 10 years, and with the exception of color fading, it's still in pristine condition. I've had one of their boat bags for a few years and it too is bullet proof. Oddly, there are too many compartments, pockets and zippers for my liking. You'd probably appreciate that though. I'd sell you mine for a good price if you lived closer.
