{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sling Packs / Alternate to vests

Even though this is always a very personal coke vs. pepsi kind of thing, I still always seem drawn toward chipping in.

The one thing I could never understand is why Patagonia and Orvis make the sling packs go over the right shoulder.  I'm right handed and prefer the strap over my left shoulder.  I have an older William Joseph sling that goes over the left.  I think their newer models do as well...or are ambidextrous.

But after much trial and error I've settled on a Fishpond Waterdance lumbar pack.  Good amount of storage, two water bottle holders (using them both makes is a bit heavy, admittedly), fold-down bench, and has a strap that can make it into a makeshift sling pack you can shorten up if you are wading deep.

I'm trying to round out my Christmas list, and I figure some type of alternative to a vest would be a good addition. The pocket in my waders is usually enough storage for most of the fishing I do, but falls a bit short when I want to be out longer and bring a small snack and water - or if I want to bring my spare spool with my sinking line. I'm at a bit of a toss up between the Simms Dry Creek Flats Pack or the Simms Headwaters Sling Pack. Anyone have any input?
