Since the topic of cockpit organization always comes up, has anyone
tried using fishing vest? It has many pockets that appears to be a good
solution for a cockpit, but I don't what the drawbacks are. Here is a
brief writeup about fishing vests.

I tried what's really a travel vest that I got from REI. It's
marginal. With three layers of pockets in some places, it's sometimes
hard to know which slit to put your hand into; in a hot cockpit it's a
couple of extra layers of sweat-producing clothing; and it makes me
look like more of a doofus than usual.
