I thought it would get more in the way than it does.... At least so far. Also I think everyone fishes and casts a bit different. What I like someone else may find it miserable and unusable. It may depend on how much you have packed into it and where you pack it. Whether more in the front or further back. The main pocket also has some pockets in it to separate things.
I have tried regular chest packs and they made it difficult to see my footing. I can see better with this one, and I like the balanced feel of it. It is more like wearing a vest, but with bigger and better pockets. It is easy to organize and see where things are.
I hadn't seen one before either. I ran across it as I was looking to make a somewhat similar pack, and I was researching ideas.
On sale it was worth the risk to try out. The regular priced ones are spendy. I think you could look at one in Sandy, Utah at 7 Summits Gear.
I have a sling pack...not a special designed one for flyfishing... more of a book bag...I tend to put too much in it. The only problem with it is sometimes it will swing forward. I like it, but it is heavier and hangs up on brush.

I like having options to use different packs or combinations of packs depending on where I am going and how long. Or maybe I just like TOYS!!!
