The C&F Lanyard is a great alternative to a vest.

A lanyard is combined with a small size Universal Fly Patch with a convenient Foam Changer. Use the attached snaps to hang your favorite accessories such as clippers and floatants. A dedicated tippet holder that can be used through the leader material spool is also included, so you can enjoy fishing lightly with this system. By attaching a landing net or license holder (sold separately) behind your neck, you can reduce the burden on your neck and use it in a well-balanced manner.
