Humvee HMV-VC-K-XL X-Large Nylon Combat Vest with Safety Zipper, Khaki

... or half full. But make sure there is clearly enough room for more vodka! This jacket is a half full glass, you get what you pay for and I like this vest for what it is, it was exactly what I wanted, it is exactly what I needed and it's made well. If yours is in less than perfect condition, SEND IT BACK! Otherwise, stop complaining, this is cheap, well made and has a ton of pockets! BUY IT NOW!

I see a lot of mixed reviews for this product. So far I've only worn it twice. It seems to me to be a decent value for the money. Plenty of pockets for me. Holds my 70-300 Canon lens. The two zippered front pockets are quite large. Sizing on my XL was accurate. Can't comment on how well it will hold up. I'm guessing it's not for everyday photography use as I see other vests out there costing 8 times as much but for my casual use it should be fine.

This might be fine if purchased for less than $10 out of a clearance rack in your local Walmart. It is certainly not worth more than that, and not useful for photographers at all. I'm disgusted with Adorama (purchased through Amazon) for stocking this junk. I've seen better stitchwork on seventh grade home economics projects. The zippers stick, and the larger pockets bag when anything larger than a pack of gum is placed in them. I wouldn't trust the pockets for carrying any camera gear, except perhaps lens paper.

Very poor quality...had to send it back for a replacement...the replacement came back and was also poor quality.

My kids & grandmoppets gave me the vest for Christmas. I like it, and will never get rid of it, due to who gave it to me. It seems well-made, but the raw edges do ravel. A minor inconvenience, easily taken care of. It does look nice, and has enough room in the XXL to wear it over my down parka when I photograph winter sports. The fabric appears a bit light, but further use will show if it is durable.I photograph wildlife, aircraft, sports, family and racing cars. I find my "essential" equipment includes: Camera, 18-55 mm "pit" lens, the "Iron Duke", my 70-210mm lens, purchased years ago and still extremely sharp and adequate for 90% of my car/aircraft/critter photos; a flash unit, spare batteries, extra memory cards, 2 bottles of water, a couple of protein bars, lens cleaning equipment, sunglasses, a poncho and a filter or three.But! For my uses, the fishing vest my wife gave to me at least 20 years ago is still much better. The large, lower pockets are above the belt line, just right for larger lenses, and they don't get crunched between my body and guardrail or other hard object I am leaning over. The upper breast pockets are large enough for my "pit" lens in one, and flash and light modifier in the other.The bottom pockets on the Humvee vest, and those on a Domke vest I observed last week at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, as well as many other vests I have looked at are too low...below belt level. On the Humvee, the upper breast pockets are too small for lenses or flash units. But, it will make a great birding vest, methinks.Just my impressions after using the vest for awhile, but it may be just perfect for your needs. From the photos, my remarks re: pocket size may equally apply to the Humvee Travel Vest, too.

Better than I expected. It's cool, calm and collected. Big pockets to put the Samsung Note 4 into, which I prefer to the belt holder. The large pockets will even hold many DSLR's if you don't like the camera hanging from your neck. Great for the summer. We will see how well it hold up with repeated use because I will be wearing this ALOT.

Got myself confused on the order. The National Geographic Catalogue is where I should have gone to order the light-weight "Traveler" vest with synthetic material. Light as all get-out, good for summer wear. But I love the HUMVEE series vests otherwise and kept this one.

A bit longer then I would like but it fits great. I use it for geocaching, it holds all my goodie for trading and tools need for caching.
