Four main compartments are supplemented by four more accessory pockets inside each flap, and touch-fastener closures secure your camera gear inside. Adjustable buckles and straps make for a one size-fits-all design that quickly adjusts to virtually any body size or shape, helps keep you cool in warm weather, and fits over winter clothing when it's cold out.

question
In terms of the size of the pouches, how does this Womens Digital Vest compare to the Newswear Womens Medium Chestvest?
Both have the same amount of pouches. The Medium version has two longer pouches and two smaller ones. And the Womens Digital Chestvest has one long and the three smaller ones.They are very similar but the Digital can hold telephoto lenses like the Nikon 80-200mm zoom or the Canon 70-200mm lens (without lens shade attached). And the Medium can hold most telephoto lenses like the Nikon 80-200mm zoom lens and the 300mm F4 as well as the Canon 70-200mm zoom lens and the Canon 300mm F4 telephoto.

question
I have a Nikkor 20-500mm telephoto lens and am wondering if this will hold it. I also have a kit and wide-angle lens, so the problem is if I switch to one of them what do I do with the Nikkor? I only have one camera body, so the holster systems I have seen are useless. The backpack I use carries all the lenses, but is to bulky. Thank you for your help!
Not sure if one that large will fit, Ive fit my canon 72-200 fine, but not sure how those 2 compare

question
Does Newswear make a women's foul weather digital chestvest? I see a men's version but not a women's. (Which is troubling.) Also, it's not clear from this picture whether there is also a waist strap, or if you have to have the chest straps on at all times. Is there a waist-only strap option?
Yes, Newswear does make a women's foul weather chestvest but I purchased the one shown here almost two years ago (not listed as foul weather ) and it's some of the best money I've spent on photo accessories! I always use it when I'm in the field and I've had it in the elements in Yellowstone in Jan and Feb, in the sand dunes in Death Valley and out in the rain - never had a single issue with it.It does have a waist strap in addition to the shoulder straps. The straps are all adjustable and I carry lots of gear in it (70-200mm lens, filters, etc). It's much better on my back than a backpack and I'm 5'7', 120 lbs. I don't think they make a waist strap only option and the shoulder straps cannot be removed (they are sewn in at one end). To me, the shoulder straps help distribute the weight of all the gear more evenly than just around the waist. But you could just fold down the shoulder straps and use the waist strap if you wanted to.If and when this wears out, I will purchase another Newswear Chestvest!! Hope this helps.
