Andrew, this is a pretty good review of what is available.
Wait for sales if you can. Keep checking the websites weekly and you can
get a good vest for half the list price.
The waist-length is ideal.
Important is the number and size of the pockets.
The vest isn't of much use if your stuff won't fit in the pockets.
Some have too many little/small pockets that nothing really fits in.
A big pocket on the back, while sweaty in the summer is usefull for
storing maps, large trash bags, and other large items with little
thickness.
