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

I bought this vest to eliminate the need to carry a purse during low-cost airline flights. I decided to travel only with a small bag that counts as a personal item, and my regular purse was too large to fit inside it along with needed change of clothes, toiletries, etc. I have a sturdy, safari-style vest with multiple gusseted pockets, but it was going to be an overkill for this trip. As other reviewers pointed out, all pockets are flat with no gusset, which I actually found beneficial as the vest remained streamlined. During the trip I wore the vest on top of a thin hoodie, and I wore my regular sized fleece jacket as the outermost layer with no problem. The open pass-through pockets under the armpits were great, as I was able to carry a small water bottle and snacks in them without adding another (albeit small and disposable) bag that could count against luggage allowance. I would not use it as a work vest because of its lightweight construction, but for occasional travel it is going to be fine, especially if you unzip the front zipper while seated. It is a one-way zipper, and the bottom tends to pull if the pockets are loaded. I usually wear women's size 8-10, and a medium vest fit perfectly on top of a lightweight hoodie. It was very handy to have all necessities right on me instead of digging into a purse, and I may even travel with this vest even when I can carry my purse onboard.

My phone is connected to my glucose monitor + my hearing aids. I need it on my person for these things to work. I was constantly putting my phone down and walking away from it. Problem solved. The vest is so light, I barely notice it. I can wear it indoors at all times and my technical needs are addressed perfectly. In mild weather like fall of spring, I can wear it wherever I go. So this is roughly a 3 season vest, but in winter, I can just wear it under an overcoat and so this will work year round. Perfect!

I like it as being a service tech it serves its purpose to hold my light tool or general screws etc. only thing I notice even though it’s light and thin I feel like it’s gets me hot. Mayb because it’s not cotton. For cool weather n winter it’s great don’t think I would use much in spring or summer so much but love the pockets. Def find it useful

As someone who loves vests and jackets, especially with the convenience of pockets, this vest delivers a perfect amount and size of pockets for any style and type of event. Casual or fancy? Not sure about fancy, but it could work anyways. Just play til you make it. Then eventually it'll be the biggest fashion and everyone else will be wearing one. Then it'll become the most normal thing and it'll be a shame to those that loved the unique aspect of it. But then people will stop wearing it and it'll become an old trend. After that, anyone that wears one will be laughed at for being behind the times, but they will once again be unique. Maybe it's best to get one before that happens, though.

After receiving a bad one, I ordered 2 more, hoping to get one with a main zipper that actually worked, because otherwise I like the styling and I really needed a vest with pockets. All 3 had main zippers that stuck, are uneven, and feel like they will not last a season. All of them had poorly sewn wavy zippers on the pockets that separate. That said, this vest looks and fits nicer than the others I've found. It doesn't have ridiculous safari pockets on the chest, hooks to get caught on stuff, and can fit my phone, keys, flashlight and tools. It appears to be washable and is lightweight and, except for the zippers, unobtrusive. The shoulders are too wide for women, but otherwise the fit is unisex and only slightly small at the hips. I kept one and I'm sure I'll be needing to repair it, but for the price, it'll do.

I thought this could be something I could wear indoors to add a little more warmth at work walking around in large building. I thought wrong. This item has no more substance then a t-shirt. Its very thin and cheaply made. The zipper is on the left side and should be on the right. I guess you get what you pay for.

I got X-Small, this was a size too large. I need an XX-Small in a man's size just because I am 90 lbs and 5'3", otherwise I love this. Very light weight, lots of pockets, seems well made. No complaints except for I can never find products small enough in these photo vests. Price is to smile about on this one, though. Oh, I would like to have other choices in colors...only had black in X-Small size. But that is nit-picking.

Very light, and worth the money!

perfect for my son, as he loves his pockets

I wish i could give a good review, but half of the pockets were holding by a thread, and after wearing it for 3 minutes, the inside pocket fell apart and another zipper fell off. Its like everything was sewed on with a single thread!
