International orders*The Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, X-Large (Khaki) 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.

I am an amateur photographer. The vest is all quality from its construction to its practical use (well ventilated). Although it might be considered pricey by some, the money is worth it in this case. Lots of pockets and comfortable. I'm a size 48 sports jacket and the XL was perfect.

Comments about Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, X-Large (Khaki):
I use the vest walking mountain trails looking for photo opportunities. The vest holds lots of gear and spreads the weight around as opposed to a back pack. The inside pockets are great for keeping valuables secure.

Comments about Tamrac 153 World Correspondent's Vest, X-Large (Khaki):
This is my first photo vest, so I cannot say if this is the best vest ever, but it does the job and I am completely satisfied with it.
Well made, lots of pockets inside and out. Pockets that are not zippered are velcroed. I especially liked the inside zippered pocket where I could carry my travel documents safe from prying fingers.
Just remember to buy straps for the D-rings, and you will be set to go.
The only downside, which is usually an upside, is that it is a lot of vest, which means a lot of material. In the Costa Rican rain forest, where I traveled, the vest can get a bit warm---but that's like complaining about the weight of your equipment: if you need the equipment you are going to carry the load.
The vest is cut large, and I bought XL with the view to wearing it over a jacket in cold weather. We will see how that works out.
