Men's 9 Pockets Work Utility Vest Military Photo Safari Travel Vest Workwear Jacket

I ordered two of these vests, I like that they are thin so you can wire them in the summer, I like the big pockets, very pleased

I spent hours online shopping for a reasonably priced travel vest that would make it unnecessary for me to carry a purse during a 3 week trip to southern Europe, and avoid the predations of pickpockets. First my husband and I ordered 2 vests from another company, and neither of them fit either of us. Next I got him a vest that fit him just fine, but which I had doubts would be right for me, even in a smaller size. I gave up shopping for a vest designed exclusively for women--very expensive, not nearly enough pockets, and very limited selection of colors. When I found that one very highly regarded travel company was touting "unisex" vests, that convinced me to go back to looking for one geared toward me. So glad I I ordered this one, which is perfect as well as very reasonably priced.. The inside zipper pouch (there's just one) is roomy enough for an RFID zipper bag into which I can easily fit my passport, a case for a few IDs and credit cards, and some cash. In the zippered outside pockets there's plenty of room for my large cell phone and a good mini-charger in one, a folding scarf in another, a folding sunhat in another, and sundries like pocket size tissues, hand sanitizer, dental floss, etc. in yet another, while still being remarkably lightweight. I love the fact that it is hip length, rather than waist length. I can comfortably wear it zipped or unzipped. I ordered a size L, charcoal gray (almost black), which will look great and like an "outfit" worn with jeans, a skirt or skort, yoga pants, a casual dress, even my waterproof black nylon overpants for boating and water recreation. I normally wear a large or extra large women's t shirt or top. (I don't like tops feeling tight across my shoulders), and it fits great. The length reaches my hip, and the vest fits comfortably even when zipped. I might decide to take out the sunhat and the scarf for our flight and put them back on an as need basis to limit the bulk, but it's perfectly comfortable even packed with everything I need. I suggest Amazon add savvy women travelers to the list of groups to whom to highly recommend this product. It has the tunic length many women prefer and, although there's only one inside pocket, it's large enough to be truly useful.

4 star because there is only one zippered pocket on the inside. 6 zippered pockets on the outside. Vest is lightweight but does not appear to be durable. Biggest pocket is 7 inches deep by 6-1/2 wide and another is 5 inch deep by 8 inches wide. Top pockets fit my iPhone 6s Plus. One minus: vest is tall so a normal jacket may not cover the bottom of the vest unless your jacket is also tall like a winter overcoat. I wished they sell a short vest just like this one.

I was looking for a summer utility vest for travel and hiking. From the description, it seemed to be a good candidate. About everything was in the same price range, $20 to $30.My initial impression was pretty good. Reasonable quality construction, a nice appearing fabric, and pretty good layout & design. I ordered XL based upon other recommendations. I'm 5'9' & just over 200 lbs. (no comments) and it is just big enough. In retrospect, I should have ordered 2XL.After a few days of use, I still generally like the design. It has two slit pockets for hands and loose stuff. There is only one interior pocket down low on the left side. I'd wish for a second interior breast pocket on the right. Both sides bottom have two zippered pockets, I'm not sure if I will use them all. There are two upper front zippered breast pockets, both about right. I can think of lots of additional features, but that is probably beyond this scope, and I don't see really creative products available.Negatives: The polyester fabric is nice looking, but very slippery, and it does not breathe, so this vest gets hot quick on warm days. There is no collar, so it rubs into your neck. Further, when there is any pocket loading, the vest pulls to the "heavy" side, further increasing the discomfort on your neck. Might be ok if you have a collared shirt on underneath.I'm going to try another product with a different fabric. I've worn it enough that I'm not comfortable returning it now, but I wouldn't buy it again. I'd be happy paying twice the price for a true quality garment with technical fabric and a more creative design, but I can't find any available.

This has tons of pockets and it great taking thru security at the airport. All my important stuff fits in and goes right thru the screener with no isues.

I loved everything about this vest, the fit, all the pockets and the look. However, it's falling apart on me. It started with failed stitching. I had to re-sew so many areas. Now the zippers are starting to fail. Just an overall really big disappointment.

I like that it is of good quality, lightweight and does not feel cumbersome. It has a very nice feel. The zippers are smooth thin and do not get in the way of pen or pencil pocket clips. I am a writer and do research. I use the vest to hold pens, pencils, magnifying glasses, and other writer's paraphernalia when in the field. I have two vests, one a medium size to go over light warm weather shirts and one a large size to fit over bulkier colder weather clothing. I would not hesitate to buy even larger sizes if appropriate to conditions. For me, theses vests present an excellent value for the low price.

I bought this as part of a Han Solo costume. I've also used it since as a lightweight vest full of pockets, and it's served admirably in both roles. I haven't used it enough to properly judge durability, but it shows no signs of early failure.
