Review on H2H Men'S Active Wear Outdoor Vests Work Safari Fishing Travel Utility Summer Vest by Mike Littlejohn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pockets, pockets and more pockets, plus it's cool enough to wear in an Arizona Summer

I Bicycle for exercise. Sometimes a regular pocket will lose an item on a ride especially if you hit a hard bump! Not a problem with this item. I lost count of the number of pockets inside and outside on this vest. They are external, internal, and there are even pockets within pockets. Some are zipper closed, some are Velcro closed, but all have a securing mechanism.I put my key fob in a pocket, not realizing it fell into one of the 'pocket in a pocket'. Later I could feel the fob, but figuring out which pocket opening led to it was very time-consuming. For fun, I dropped it back into the same pocket, then had a few other people try to get it out -- it could make a good game - find the key fob. To avoid this, try to decide which pocket you'll use for what, and stay with that setup.There are several pockets that are large enough and reinforced enough for a concealed carry. It will not 'print' the design through the fabric, and it does not 'sag' holding a S&W .380. This is as inconspicuous a carry as I've used, especially if you compare it to a fanny pack or one of the 'too-big-to-be-a-cell-phone' wallets.I also use it for photography equipment. I can carry 3-4 lenses, included one 500MM telephoto, cleaning equipment and filters.Most of the vest is made of mesh. I wear it when riding my bike, and do so routinely in 105+ heat. I am as comfortable with the vest on as I am with it off. It is not stylish enough to consider using it for evening wear (lol), but it looks good enough for every day wear.I'm still learning new uses -- for example -- light maintenance work around the house - you can carry a lot of tools. I think anyone who doesn't like cargo shorts may like this for all the pockets.

Pros
  • I use it for all purposes. Even for my Sunday best.
Cons
  • The vest is not very versatile and is only suitable for specific activities
