By Peck from Virginia on 6/17/2008
Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Durable, Great design, High quality, Lightweight
Cons:
You're gonna look goofy
Best Uses:
Hiking and Camping
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is an excellent camping/travel vest that can pass for fishing purposes as well. More convenient and accessible than a backpack, this vest has a place for everything. It dries quickly (I've waded up to my chest with it on), has a 2way zipper, and is very comfortable— even on long day hikes or when paddling a canoe. If they manufactured a mesh version, for really hot days and vigorous aerobic activities (with a camelbak reservoir!), I would purchase it immediately. . .

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a 5'8" women and purchased the Men's medium. They sold out of the women's and I wanted this vest for traveling and hill walking. I bought one for my husband, too. The fit is very good - a wee bit loose but that is perfect. Love the pockets! I'll break it in today on my way to Scotland. Great for travel.

I usually wear an X-Large....this is a bit snug, and a bit short, but I think that the Doulble XL would have been too big.
Awesome vest, though.

Its just a great plain no bells or whistle vest that I plan to modify to fit my needs as a fly fisher The water bottle holders are a great plus for warm weather Just wish it came in an Extra large for winter fishing
Beautiful vest, but sized really small

Chest Size:
Feels too small
Pros:
Breathable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent pockets inside and out: functional sizes, access, capacity, security. I'll be using the vest instead of a shoulder bag or backpack during a tropical trip. Drawback is sizing: order one size larger than usual.
