There are many pockets, and they are secure. It's washable. Cool in the heat (in Khaki anyway). My spouse and I use this vest for carrying paraphernalia for dog training and for photography. If you want more pockets than a fishing vest, and want to look good at a great price, this is your vest.

I have only used this vest a few times. I seems to be just what I needed. Very comfortable and cool wearing. In the Florida heat it will be nice.

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
This vest is exactly what I was looking for. There are pockets for everything and I don't have to carry a pack for shorter day hikes. It appears to be well made and the good ventilation makes it tolerable on warm days. I also like the large pocket in the back, although it's not as accessible, I carry a map, small, dense rubber knee pad and a small folded soft box in that pocket. I am 6' and 175 lbs and the large size fits me well. I highly recommend it!

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
Just received this so cannot comment on wear. Is very comfortable on and has good sized pockets. Runs on the large size. I ordered a large and could easily wear a sweater and a coat under it. There is an adjuster on each side that reduces waist by about 2 inches. Feels quite heavy so may be warm when wearing in hot weather.

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
It is a nice vest for wildlife photography. nice cotton fabric and pretty usable. Fits properly up to 200mm lenses. Would love it a bit more if it comes with two bigger pockets for larger lenses like 300mm.
Recomend this if you are not carrying a bigger lens with you.

Wore it twice now, so much easier working with my gear. It is like having a third hand. Still trying to figure out how to stock each pock like clean supplies, batteries and other helpful tools. I do wish it had some straps to attach some items that have loops.

This vest is the berries. It is comfortale and wonderfully made for hot weather. The mesh lining in the back coupled with the vent slots stop heat from building up inside the garment. The cotton material is wonderful for keeping cool. The pockets are well placed and easly accessed. I am very pleased with it.

I was very pleased with this purchase. The vest is lightweight yet durable. My reason for purchase is to hold camera lenses and equipment. The pockets are easy to open, yet secure. I am considering purchasing another to have as a second.

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
Overall the vest looks nice with plenty of storage space. Runs slightly large but that's probably good to be able to use all the pockets. The part of the zipper that you hold onto broke off immediately and would not go back on. I plan on returning and getting another one.

Sorry I could only give it 4-Stars, the bottom zipper pull came off the first time it was washed. I was able to put it back--hope it lasts!
Carries lots of equipment, good price, and not too heavy by itself.
