CAMPCOHumvee Utility Vest with 21 Pockets -Travel, Safari, Hunting, Camping, 100% Cotton, Tactical Jacket for Men & Women

I've been wearing these photographer's vests for decades. I love the many pockets and use them for both national and international travel.

Great for safary day at my school

I'm 5'8", and heavier than I'd like to be. Even so, the size charts elsewhere indicate that the Large size ought to fit my torso, perhaps with something thicker than a tee underneath. It's HUGE . . . in some places. It barely fits my hips, and that's important because it falls to mid-thigh on me. Above the hips, it's big enough to fit someone much, much larger: the top of the zipper hits below my bust, the arm holes are open nearly to my waist, and the V of the neckline is so large that the thing wants to fall off my shoulders.I love the features. It has everything I want in a photographer's vest. I've worn lots of "men's" tops, from rainjackets to tees to banded collar shirts, but I can't wear this.It's probably great on men, especially on big-chested men with big shoulders and long torsos.

I have worn out three of these. Oh wait, I got the first one sometime in the 80s, Banana Republic. Second I used for photo and wore pretty much every day, the Humvee version lasted better, all the same features, pockets, zippers and some added clips. Finally after patching and fixing, I got the new one. Just as good as the past.Durable enough for the light weight and well sewn. Plain and simple as a photo vest, this is my favorite.

They market this as a "photographer's vest, but (for me) it's my "Reading and Writing" Vest. There are enough pockets to carry all the pens, marking pens, paper clips, (mini) stapler, stick-on notes; books newspapers, magazines, paper.AND reading-glasses, sun-glasses, (glass cleaner), Kleenex; water bottle -- I haven't run out of uses, yet -- or pockets.

I ordered this at the last minute for a trip. It looked about the right size and I always wash things before I wear them. In a haste, I threw it in the washer, since I was leaving in a few hours. When I took it out of the dryer to pack it, I realized I was sent a small. I ordered a large. Very unhappy as the product is unusable.

There were no instructions in case I needed to return product. I was guessing it was a size large as no choice was offered.

This was a slightly used item that was in perfect condition and nicely re-packaged when it arrived. Even in hot summer weather, it's light enough not to cause me to sweat terribly. But it's sturdy enough that I can tell it will stand up to wind and cooler temps, as well (I lived for years in Cheyenne, WY and have a couple dusters, so I understand the feel of a coat that protects against wind and chill). I was able to put all my lenses in one pocket or another, though some were pretty tight fits. Once fully loaded, it's pretty heavy, but I knew that going in (duh - lenses aren't light) and the weight is nicely balanced if you put the lenses and other paraphernalia in pockets evenly across the vest.
