wirenut,
I use a BOB ALLEN shooting vest for trap and sporting clays. It is very lightweight, which would be good for you in Florida. It has a decent pad, and nice shell pockets that hold plenty of ammo. I just bought a new one a few weeks ago. You won't belive this.... left handed! I'm a righty, so I ordered a new one and will sell the lefty at a shoot this spring. (rather than pay the return shipping). I ordered "L" for LARGE. They must have thought "L" was for left.... Anyway, for the price, they work good and are very comfortable! By the way... What size do you wear??......
