Since the topic of cockpit organization always comes up, has anyone
tried using fishing vest?

I use one as a survival vest. ("If it ain't on you, it ain't going out
the door with you!" - old Viet Nam helicopter pilot saying.)
I carry a mini-10-essentials kit distributed in the various pockets.
Try to find one that is made of mesh with the pockets sewn on.
This is more comfortable in the summer (doesn't matter in the winter).
The short length of the fishing vest fits comfortably when sitting in
the cockpit.
Also, there are several manufacturers that include a very soft,
comfortable, fleece-like collar. Usually gray in color. The regular
cloth collar tends to chafe.
