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.

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
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.

I use this vest when I am hiking to avoid carrying a pack with extra lenses. I can put my 50mm, 70-300 zoom, and 105 Macro in the pockets and still have room for a lot of other necessary items and even a couple of snacks.
Great buy!

Comments about Humvee by CampCo Safari Photo Vest, Large (Khaki):
I purchased this vest to carry extra lenses and other photographic essentials for outdoor photography excursions. This vest has numerous pockets of varying sizes to hold anything from my 70-300 and 10-22 zoom lenses to lens filters and extra flash cards and batteries. This vest allows me to take three lenses out in the field, one on the camera and two in the vest. Prior to buying this vest I had to lug around my photo back pack or limit the number of lenses that I could take with me.

You can only search so long before fatigue sets in. Then, you find the perfect photo vest at B&H the outfitter that knows photog outfits. Great size selection and durability. Search over and gift taken care of for another year.

Bought this vest for my husband's christmas present. We are avid scuba divers and can never seem to get to our remote locations with all of our gear and luggage weight limits.
My husband plans to use this vest to pack essential items on his person as we travel and not have cumbersome carry on luggage.

I use this as a semi-professional photographer and this vest is excellent for carring any and all accessories ...including extra lens, cables, flashes, etc. It fits well and enough pockets to carry it all.

I use this to carry lenses, filters, cable release and tripod. It's sturdy; the zippers zip; the velcro velcs. A word to the wise -- buy a size larger than you need. Gadgets fill it out. In cold weather you want to wear it outside your parka.
