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

#1: It fit dead bang like a vest should. I am a big guy 6'3" 300lbs and this 3x large fits perfect for a vest. Just loose enough where I can fill the pockets and wear a jacket or hoodie under it if need be. #2: I am a photographer and yes it has plenty of pockets for everything. Inducing Larger lens's and speedlight flash. And I can get to the equipment in my pockets much quicker than in my pack, Or even leave the pack in the car and till have a couple of different lenses and the flash. 3: I noticed several people complaining about the light weight. I don't know I like the light weight and fact that it breaths. I tend to be working when I wear it and don't want to get hot. And though it's not made out of stop rip material like my BDU shirt seems bloody well sturdy to me. Light weight good! Heavy is hot n bad.lol And though it's light weight it's not cheaply made. 4: It's Fun and yes professional! Carrying a pack in a pain in the hind quarters, Wearing a vest is just plain fun, it's quicker to grab my camera and vest when in a hurry. And in all honesty yes it makes me look a little more like a professional photographer rather than just a neanderthal with a camera. lol. I'm probably even going to get Stirling Photography patch made for it.

This is the best and top of the line of photographer or pocket vests. They last for years under daily use, and they have more pockets than most of the others. They stand up to rugged use, all sorts of weather, and keep going. There are more pockets in them than you will likely use, let alone remember. I've used them for the last 20 plus years and replace them every 5-10 years. They can get ripped, or wear out from abrasion and other hard usage.

I just love this vest! I use it for my photography adventures. I am able to equal out the weight of my equipment (lenses mainly) with the pockets available. I like not only the amount of room but also the location of the pockets. What I mean is that you don't have to twist and turn to get to one thing or another. The smaller pockets are easily accessible without needing to get past or around the larger items. That is more helpful than one might realize. To be able to access everything with ease, will make your next excursion much more comfortable if your not having to fight to get something you need, fast. The pockets can be close meaning when you need to bend over or reach down to pick up something, you don't have to worry much about those expensive lenses falling out. Some pockets have zippers, some have velcro, and some are buttons. It is a bit long, but that was good for me. I am 5' 7" and I weigh about 110lbs. So weight distribution is an absolute must! I ordered a medium and the shoulders are a perfect size so I never feel like it might slide off. It's the oversized length that gives room to make those deep pockets. And because it hangs low, the heavier items don't feel like they are pulling your head and chest over. The material feels very well made. The inside, on your back anyway, has a mesh layer. And on the outside, the solid vest material has a couple of vertical slits from the top ALMOST all the way down, which exposes the mesh and allows for airflow, very nice! I say 'almost' all the way down because spanning the waist area, from one side to the other, is yet another pocket! So, overall, this gets the highest grade from me. I recommend it to anyone who needs a comfortable, sturdy, and a very versatile way to make it much easier to go on any kind of excursion.

As with other reviews, I chose a size smaller than I normally would (Med instead of Large) and the fit was just right. Some problems with the zipper sticking at the bottom, but I rarely use it anyway. The number of pockets is impressive and the only downside to that is remembering where you put something, but that's not a complaint. It's as lightweight as you can expect given the number of pockets it has, and I had no problems carrying a couple of large lenses including my 300 zoom. I think it will also double for hikes and such as it would be more comfortable than a day pack for the few items I normally would carry. I would recommend for the casual user, will find out how it holds up with longer use. UPDATE Oct 16: Still getting good use on camping and photo outings. Several compliments, borrowed once, now someone wants to borrow it for a week to Australia. I have directed them to AMAZON. (They need to get their own!) UPDATE Aug 25, 2014: Still getting use out of it. One of the pockets tore on the inside, resown and back to use. I do use it on camping trips and a very good vacation in New Mexico desert with my trusty Nikon. Everything goes in the vest that I need and much that I don't need. My only downside is the vest gets too heavy when loaded, but that's because I overloaded it with all those pockets. Hangs by my door ready to go, I never 'put it away'. UPDATE Sept 11, 2015: Still hanging on the back of my door. Still getting great use of it. Other than the one pocket nothing else has happened to it. If I keep updating a review it means I still use it, still like it, and think it's worth it. UPDATE April 11 2016 Still hanging on my door, this time it went to Texas with me. Another great bout of use of it. UPDATE Nov. 3 2017 Still hanging on my door. This time it went to Alabama and Tennessee. Still holding together.

Like this jacket it does crease badly after washing but apart from that all good

Pockets for my 24mm-70mm, my 100mm macro, my 85mm and my 24mm, camera body with 1 hanging from the epaulets, pockets for batteries, memory cards, cell phone, you name it. Going to be my left hand ( I hold my camera in my right)!

This is a high-quality vest with numerous pockets as advertised. I travel a lot with heavy photographic gear and it is immensely useful. You can rely on this vest being exactly as advertised and then some. I also found the sizing quite true to form. I am a slightly heavy woman and the large is generous for me. I usually wear a women’s XL and even the medium would have fit me although I appreciate the generous fit of the large So I can stow extra gear and still zip it up comfortably. Enjoy!

A bit expensive, but so useful and practile for my photography accessories. Happy with my purchase.
