Description of the Related Art [0004] A typical fly fishing vest contains pockets that are made out of cut and sewn fabric pieces. These standard pockets are not as easy to access or as aesthetically interesting as the molded pockets of the present invention, nor do they provide the impact protection afforded by the present invention. Although some innovations relating to fishing vests have been patented, no one has yet applied the technology relating to molded pockets to provide a fishing vest with storage compartments that are more user-friendly, attractive, and impact-resistant than traditional pockets. Some examples of innovations in fishing vests are described below. [0005] The background art is characterized by U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,852,293; 4,901,899; 5,06...
