The Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, Large (Black) is constructed of 100% cotton that is washable with less than 5% shrinkage and has nylon mesh vents for ventilation. It has lots of convenient pockets and is appropriate for almost any photographic assignment. There are ten pockets on the front of the vest that allow for any photographic situation. During hot weather, two zipper vented mesh pockets open to provide cooling ventilation. Four touch fastener closing patch pockets provide fast access and are large enough for nearly any accessory. Two zippered side pockets give the photographer secure space for film and accessories. Two hand warmer pockets can also be used to hold keys, coins, etc. Three more pockets can be found on the inside of the vest. Two large pockets close with a touch fastener, while one closes with a zipper to secure valuables. A large, roomy touch fastener closing pocket can be found on back and discreet vented back panels provide flow through ventilation without looking like a mesh vest. Side tabs are provided so the vest can be adjusted for a custom fit.

The front zips open and closed with a two-way zipper and snap tab, allowing the vest to be adjusted for perfect ventilation and comfort. Four "D" rings provide safe accessory and press pass attachment points. Snap-down epaulets keep camera and bag straps from slipping off the shoulder.

        Comments about Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, Large (Black):

        Because of back problems my backpack was killing me. So, I decided to try the vest. Glad I Did.
        I fill the pockets with my filters, batteries, keys etc. then use a Tamrac modular belt with one or 2 lenses and the pressure is off my back. I throw my camera with a lens over my shoulder grab my small hiking tripod and off I go. No pressure on the shoulders or back.

          Comments about Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, Large (Black):

          I am so glad I finally took the time to order a photo vest for myself[...] the pockets are large enough to hold some of my more substantial lens and filters, extra batteries and cards. Even ID and credit cards can be safely tucked away so I can leave my wallet at home. I love it.

            Comments about Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, Large (Black):

            I like to use a photographer's vest when I travel. This is one of the best. I use the vest for carrying small equipment when shooting, and also as a wonderful extra carry-on when flying.

            This vest fills both uses well. I use this one in colder weather and my tan one in warmer weather.
