Wore for first time on NYC trip... ('still there now on vavation). Zippers are faulty and hard to use. Pulls are too small and plackets are too narrow. Front zipper is very difficult to start, and sometimes has split open from the bottom once fully zipped. One inside pocket zipper keeps getting caught on its pocket liner.

Will return this vest.

Pockets are great.

Three suggestions, heavier duty zippers, front zippers that can be zipped up from the bottom for sitting and access to low inside pockets... and a hood would be nice.
