Lophortyx hit the nail on the head. Go a skeleton/mesh one, light, folds up to nothing, and water isn't an issue. I Use a cabelas one, cheap and available online. MY only complaint about it is I think its designed as a trap vest as the game pocket is quite small. That said I've never managed to fill it, still holds three pheasants at a stretch which is more than I ever manage in a day for me
