I use a military Molle II FLC vest with different pouches on the front. It is out of the way just enough when shooting but having everything on my chest accessible is very convenient. I have pouches for wind checker, calls, snacks, release, cell phone, range finder and flashlight. I have a D-ring Grimlock carabiner for my water thermos that I detach once in the stand. If it becomes bothersome or hot, I just take it off and hang it on a screw in hanger and everything is still accessible.
