I bought this vest to use on safari. With the many secure pockets I do not need to carry any sort of purse. It fits well and comfortable.

Yes, I have THREE of these. After I bought one, I liked it so much someone gave me another as a gift, and then I bought a spare just in case. I have used all three in rotation. I'm a physician who works for an organization that, like the Boy Scouts, prides itself on being prepared, so I tend to carry a lot of things around with me when I go anywhere. I use this vest on an almost daily basis and put a lot of things into it, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered how tough it was. After a couple of years of heavy use, only now is one of the vests wearing at a corner of one of the lower front pockets, the ones that get the most use, and I'll have to repair it before it rips out. Because the vests are so light and have large areas of mesh on the back and sides, they are cool and breezy in hot weather. You can carry so much with these vests, so that they are extremely versatile and can be used in all sorts of situations. I often wear one under a flannel shirt or heavier outerwear when it gets cool. I've taken it on extended trips, it folds up small and packs well in a backpack if need be, and it's the only way to carry all the stuff you need when you travel overseas. If you carry your stuff right in all of its pockets (like all of your change, your cameral, wallet, etc., all you have to do when you get to airport security is take it off with everything in it and put it into one of the trays for xraying -- no need to empty out your pants pockets and sportcoat if everything's in the vest. After a hot day you can rinse out the perspiration in the neckline with warm soap and water, squeeze it out, roll it in a towel and let it finish drying even as you are wearing it. The neckline is the only part that collects sweat! One hazard is that you can carry so much with it that it can get quite heavy and start putting a strain on your shoulders, but that's a problem you can control. There are a few very shallow open pockets on the inside that aren't much good for anything other than carrying around a few 20 gauge shotgun cartridges, and there doesn't seem to be a dedicated pocket for a pen or two, but these are minor idiosyncrasies. Overall, it might seem a bit much for such a lightweight (but tough!) garment, but I've seen no other quite like it in terms of usefulness and well thought-out design, so in a very real sense, you get what you pay for!

I purchased to help me tote the loot -mostly medical-
that is good to have when I go out.
My shoulders and arms - and belt - are left free.
(and it is not a bag to leave behind, and it won't readily be dropped.)

The cool mesh on the back is great. More than enough pockets.

I would have liked to have had an open QUIET slanted pocket inside the left breast to hold a handkerchief on the ready.
To be handy when, say, confined to a seat at a symphony.

The zippered pocket on the left inside could be 3/8"-1/2" deeper.

Worked well on a 3 week trip to China and cleaned up like new when we got home. Pockets kept everything I wanted handy so didn't need a backpack most days. The "water bottle" pocket is in the back which doesn't work if you are sitting down. More pockets than I could use so I'd trade a few for some mesh vents on the front. Pleased with the purchase.

My husband wore his on vacations until he lost it. We had to replace it.

Ordered this before three week trip to Italy in April to wear instead of carrying purse. Absolutely wonderful for carrying everything I need while exploring ruins & cities. Mesh back really improves comfort on warm days. Felt very secure carrying money in inside pocket. Camera at ready in exterior pocket with Velcro closure. Highly recommend! I won't take another big trip without it.

Comments about Travel Vest:

Used to carry EVERYTHING: sunglasses, checkbooks, pens, digital recorder (for notes), smokes, camera(s), important papers, i.e. medications list for Dr. appointments, coupons, etc.

Comfortable, lightweight, cool ( I live in the Sunbelt), washes well, packs nicely.

Absolutely essential part of my casual wardrobe. Expect to be asked many times if you flyfish though.

Constant wear year round.

This is my second one. Finally got rid of the first one because of ink stains in pocket.

Couldn't recommend this article of clothing more highly.
