Great vest

By Erik Gulbranson Ranked #67 - Men's Vests December 29, 2008

I really like wearing this vest. It's cut such that it fits close but not snug. After months in the field it has yet to show serious signs of fading or fabric damage. It breathes very well, but this is not weather resistant (not that it's intended to be) aside from blocking UV radiation to your torso. The pockets are great, I use most of them though a couple are superfluous. I can hold all the essentials (passport, receipts, etc..) including whatever gear I've stashed away and this vest is still not cumbersome! A really nice feature are the top chest pockets, I stash my GPS unit in one of them, so it's right there and ready to go! I don't fly fish, but I'm constantly mistaken for it, which can be a plus if your interrogated by customs officials and need an easy cover. I gave it 5 stars, because I wasn't expecting much at the outset (I just needed a utility vest). However, I've been pleasantly surprised by this item.
