    I've been a professional photographer for over fifty years. In that time I have owned about a dozen working vests. I've even tried vests for fly fishing, hunting and yes, vests specialized for photography. With today's restrictions on just how much we carry in our carry-on luggage and being a photographer, you have to chose what to carry in your carry-on luggage and how much you can carry in your checked luggage. I NEVER put photography equipment in my checked baggage as it will"grow legs". I also avoid "Thieves Row", also known as Heathrow in Britain because they have a real lack of security, even going through their security. What's a person to do? Carry as much as possible on your person so it's not out of yours sight, except when it goes through the X Ray machine. Even in Paris, when leaving, it's really interesting how they want to make sure that lenses are lenses. So i put as much as possible in my various vests and jackets. Yes, we used specialized photo bags such as Kata and the think Tank International line of bags. However we still need more room. This vests really fills the bill for its ability to put 24 ounces into a 16 ounce can. I bought this model with the zip off sleeves because the convertibility of the vest/ jacket. I've worn out pockets carrying other stuff and this jacket really wears like iron and with the mesh liner, it is reasonably cool.

    I would have bought this jacket but according to this size chart, no adult will fit into this jacket. The size chart says the chest sizes are 25 - 29 (no units such as inches given). A normal adult large T-shirt wearer has about a 36 inch chest. The sleeve lengths are appropriate for adults, not kids. And bottom hem width? Give me some clue as to where this is measured. Until they fix this web site, you don't know what you will get.

    As with all other products (clothing) I have purchased from NG, this very stylish and versatile jacket is ideal for my lifestyle. I am in my 70's, still very active, still working part time which sometimes requires long distance travel, an RVer and outdoor inthusiest. This particular jacket is idealy suited to my needs.
    Thank you.

    Comments about Convertible Travel Jacket:

    I bought this jacket for both travel and daily use during cool weather. The jacket is well made and of good material but not well thought out IMHO and is no substitute for carry on luggage (except, perhaps, photographers or other professions that use a lot of very small items). Most pockets are too small to hold anything larger than about 3 inches in width or heighth. The location of the cell phone pocket is inside and below the waist which is not very convenient. Also, the slots for pens/pencils are undersized and only the thinnest (1/4" or so) writing implement will fit. Oh, and due to shipping it costs about 18% more than advertised.
