Henry's Fork Fishing Vest

A legacy piece born from innovation — the Columbia Henry’s Fork Fishing Vest was designed by company founder Gert Boyle herself in 1960 and continues to define functional fly-fishing gear today. Crafted from lightweight, fast-drying polyester, this vest uses Omni-Shield™ technology to repel moisture and resist stains, keeping you dry, clean, and comfortable on and off the river.

Featuring 12 pockets (including a license window, net pocket, beverage pocket, and zippered storage), plus utility loops, D-rings, and a built-in fly patch, the Henry’s Fork is built for modern anglers who need everything within easy reach. With its Comfort System yoke for balanced weight distribution, this vest remains comfortable all day — from early mornings on the Big Thompson River to long afternoons in Rocky Mountain National Park.
