This vest is superb, except for one thing. The designers of said vest must be huge. As in HUGE. My manly sweetie is no small fry - ordinarily wears a 2XL and looks fine - so on Christmas morning he opens his vest and is happy: Pockets out the wazoo, lotsa vents and guy stuff, 2XL - Yippee! Life is good. Until he tries it on: There is about twice as much vest as Manly Sweetie, alas. Enough vest that a tribe of pygmies could come over and take shelter with him. That much vest.

It's going back.

MS is of the opinion that an XL will keep pygmies from moving in, I'm not so sure.
Will get back to you on that. Meanwhile, let me just say this: I've known a number of photographers in my life and not a one of them has been built on the scale of this vest. Buy accordingly.
