I bought this vest since i needed one that closes my waist. This is just exacly what i needed. Best of all im totally satisfied since it has pockets where i can hold stuff that i need at the moment. Unlike other vest that cost too much, this one is a high quality product. In addition, it has a fron zipper and pockets and no longer have to worry about getting stuck again. I highly recomend this vest to anyone who needs more than a vest and well worth the money!
