There are some pluses to this vest, it is lightweight. However, I bought a 2xl for my son. He couldn't even get it across his shoulders. He gave it to me to wear, since I wear an xl and it just fit me, and I do mean just. I wore it over a pullover shirt. If I had a heavy shirt on I don't think it would have fit. In addition the zippers are jinxy. For one, the main one that zips up in the front zips up on the wrong side for a man. In addition all the zippers feel like one tug and they would split apart. In addition, when I went to unzip the main zipper it stuck at the bottom. For the price I did expect it to not be as durable as heavy duty utility vest, but this one really was a disappointment.
