[cool][#0000ff]Outcast has changed the designs on their aprons in the last couple of years...now with the raised supports. I don't know anybody who likes them.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Some folks like having an apron for helping to control fish in your lap, messing with tackle and/or holding fly line...their original purpose. As mentioned by other posters, I use a rigid apron (sushi board). I like a sturdy platform for rasslin' with fish (no spines in the waders...or anatomy). It is also great when you need to work on tackle, cut bait, etc.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]A compromise is to carry a small plastic container lid tucked beside you and bring it out on your lap if you need something to work on.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Part of the problem of rigging anything besides the factory aprons is that Outcast has also eliminated the D rings on the front of the air chambers that are handy for attaching other types of aprons.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck with your new ride.[/#0000ff]
