The black Men's Documentary Chestvest from Newswear is a more compact alternative to the Men's Digital and Medium Chestvests. It accommodates two smaller-size DSLR camera bodies, as well as two telephoto lenses and accessories. Most telephotos, including a 70-200mm f/2.8, and a 300mm f/4, will fit in the two center pockets. 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. The vest distributes the weight of its load across your chest, back, waist and shoulders, allowing you to remain comfortable and stress-free. It is constructed from durable 420-denier crinkle nylon, which is resistant to both water and stains, and made in the U.S.A.

Newswear Documentary Chestvest Reviews
The best money I spent
This bag is amazing. I am able to carry everything I need and it is easily accessible. I would buy it again, good money spent.
Great for Carrying Extra Stuff on a Plane
I have been wishing for something like this for years. The Chestvest allows one to carry extra things on an airplane without taking up the under seat space or the overhead bin. For a recent trip, it was home to 2 sets of Rode Lavalier microphones, an extra lens, spare batteries, an ND filter, two camera lights, business cards, passport, a fold-up white balance disc, memory cares, a 1 Tbyte solid disk drive, and more. This gave me more room in my backpack for other equipment. As importantly, when out in the field, all these things were easily accessible. No hunting through my backpack as they were right in front of me. And going through customs was a dream, as my passport and ticket were in my front pocket. Heck, I even had my sunglasses in a pocket. It appears like it is made to last. It is adjustable. I am 5'10 and 160 pounds and it fit well. When bending over, the straps would occasionally fall but I attribute that more to my slim build and that I didn't have them tightened as tight as they could be. Even when the straps fell, the pack remained around my waist. My raincoat fit around it, which provided extra protection (although it is well protected from the elements). This is a must-have for my kit and I highly recommend it to anyone who travels and needs to carry a lot of stuff and doesn't want to check it with the airlines. Finally, it provides a nice resting spot for one's hands when sitting on a long flight.
