Key Features
- Holds 2 Small DSLR Camera Bodies
- Also Holds 2 Telephoto Lenses
- 4 Main Compartments, Numerous Pockets
- Touch-Fastener Closures
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.

I see there is not a documentary version for women. My question is how different is this one from the medium for women?
The Newswear Women's Medium (Black) Chestvest pockets are larger than the Newswear Men's Documentary Chestvest (Black). The Men's is made for smaller DSLR cameras and the Womens is like the men's standard one and is for standard to pro dslr size cameras.

Is this modular? Can I remove some of the pouches and keep just two pouches with the harness and belt? Thanks
The Newswear Men's Documentary Chestvest is not modular; you can't remove some of the pockets.

question
Having migrated from large Nikon bodies and lenses to a Fuji Xe2 with 18-55, 55-200, 14mm,23mm,35mm,60mm I am wondering which Newswear would better fit my needs. I am looking at the documentary and the medium. Not having any experience with this product perhaps you can steer me in the right direction.I teach photography and find myself involved with all kinds of image making. Hiking, street photography, etc.Thanks,Elliot Stern
I think that the Newswear Mens Documentary Chestvest will be a better choice for your equipment, as the Medium size Chestvest is more accommodating for longer lenses rather than small primes such as those in your arsenal of equipment.

It will be too small for the Canon 7D with grip you will need the larger size vest: https://bhpho.to/2VugXDL

question
Am considering this bag for wildlife photography. Are the flaps held down by Velcro? Like the look of the product, but am concerned about noise.
Yes. The flaps are held down with velcro and they open loudly. When I shoot wedding ceremonies, I keep the flaps open by folding them back and tucking them in between the pocket and my body. This works for eliminating the noise but opens up the lenses to the elements if you're outside.
