Hey, over the years, I've been pretty well fed so now carry a little more baggage than I'd like...

I'm looking to get a fly vest to be able to wander in, but wondered if anyone had any good recommendations for larger options..?

Most only seem to go to 2XL or then rubbish Temu versions.

Any help much appreciated.

Try Fishpond. Their vests are very adjustable. Without knowing sizes, hard to say for sure.

Orvis are generous size wise but not wallet wise. Anything from China is too small.

I once fished with a very large guy who had clearly had a vest professionally altered with the addition of side panels.

Worth looking at what is available in the US and then searching for it on Amazon as they can supply items from US market that are not available over here. Then the price you see is the price you pay. No unexpected duty, vat and handling charges.
