Yes, I do. It gets a lot of laughs at the airport.

It's mostly my emergency kit. I figure that if the Cub goes down, I
might have to abandon my pack, which rides in the front seat. What's
in the vest is flares, cigarette lighter, compass, bug repellent, and
spare spectacles. Plus the vest has a hood, which adds a bit of
warmth.

I don't ever actually use the vest gear for flying, though the hood
and the specs are always a possibility.

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.
