FoxfireMen's Utility Hiking Safari Vest for Travel, Photo, and Outdoor Wear with Pockets, Cotton

I had my eye on this vest for several months and finally purchased it. I photograph real estate so the vest is an integral part of my workflow by keeping many different parts of the photography process at hand, such as an extra flash unit, lens pens, extra batteries, and many other things. I was impressed at the quality of the build with very good stitching and also a way to adjust the waistline on each side of the vest. I like the color and also the weight of the vest. On cool days it's just right to help keep me warm while allowing for unrestricted movement of my arms as I work. On the first day that I wore it I got a compliment as soon as I got out of my truck and put it on. The realtor was impressed! I got the X-Large to make sure I have enough room to wear it over a jacket in cold weather. I will probably buy another vest exactly the same except in a large for when I am not wearing a jacket. Nice work on the vest with plenty of pockets, which provide plenty of places to put things and keep them organized.

This vest was exactly what I was looking for. Made of cotton, lots of large pockets, place for ink pens, and back fanny pocket. Medium weight, not to light so it can take some wear, and not to heavy to be sweltering in the summer.

I bought this because it wasn't a fishing vest and also because it had hand pockets. 25 years ago I bought 3 cabelas safari vests That these are similar to. This one Has thinner fabric. This one has mesh of nylon and pocket liners of polyesther in addition to the cotton part. The 25-year-old ones had all cotton mesh add all cotton construction. Briefly I'll say that it is a "civilian dress travel" vest. I like the old safari one's better but I am no longer roughing it in the boonies of Pennsylvania mountains. I will use the vest to carry my phone and wallet and keys are another things that I carry when I ride the bus and aren't about town. But these pockets don't hold much. When one pocket is full it blocks the other pocket from opening. The pockets above the mesh pouch are that way. I am 5 feet 11 ,155 pounds. I bought this large green one and I also ordered a black medium for better summer fit.

I started wearing vests daily (okay, they're like my man purse, deal with it) about two years ago and I've purchased half a dozen. The ones from Bean are great but expensive. This Foxfire vest is, hands down, the Vest Best. I like that it's all cotton. The workmanship is solid--stitching, zippers, pockets, everything. It fits right and feels great. The number and variety of pockets is over the top. I don't use that many pockets but if you need them, they're there. It does get a little comical sometimes when I can feel my cell phone but can't locate which pocket it's in. This vest also looks better than a shooting vest so I wouldn't mind wearing it on an airplane or to a garden party, if I was ever to be invited to a garden party. I'm writing this review unsolicited, unprompted. Just so happy to buy something that's worth what I paid for it.

This is my third vest similar to this design, not necessarily from the same seller/manufacturer. I like this style of vest because of all the pockets. When traveling I can carry all my important papers, passport, wallet, etc., safely secured in hidden zippered pockets. The pockets are a nice size. There is one on the chest that is perfect for my cell phone. The bellows pockets on the sides allow me to carry my camera and sunglasses case. There is a rear zippered pocket where I can carry a packable rain jacket. The front can be zippered closed or worn open with a cloth tab that snaps to the opposite side to hold the vest closed. The only drawback to this product is that it looks like a military/hunting vest. I tried several of the other travel vest products that are supposed to be dressier. I found them to be of lesser quality materials. The pockets were small for the most part. And they ran two sizes too small. The other quirk they had was that the zippers were on the wrong side. Weird but not a deal-killer. I returned them all and bought this one. I bought one size larger than I usually do this time as I will be traveling in cooler climates and wanted to be able to wear layers underneath. I recommend this product highly.

My husband is diabetic and must travel with insulin, syringes, continuous glucose monitor, candy and other supplies. Plus he wears glasses for distance and another pair for close up. This vest is perfect for holding all those things plus wallet, passport phone and anything else he needs. XL is very room. Very good quality, lightweight and has no metal so will pass through TSA in airport. Thinking about purchasing one for me.

The pockets are of varying size, including at the lower inside lining where they can accommodate a smart phone, a very useful feature. Color "green" is rather like olive and attractive (not grass or Army green). Textile material should be a be sturdier in order to accommodate the content (like a smart phoneu). Price is reasonable for good workmanship.

I’m about to take this garment on it’s first trip. Looks great, a multitude of pockets (concealed, zippered, etc). It will be very handy going through airport security since it obviates the need to throw your wallet, passport, sunglasses separately into one of the bins. Very happy I bought this after considering many similar vests. Bargain @ $59.

This has many pockets and looks well made I wanted a white one but came as green

This vest is terrific.I ordered it in a size medium for my husband who is ~145 lbs? There’s enough room for a light jacket underneath.He’s very pleased with the vest. 100% cotton is really a treat. Lots of pockets, hooks vents etc. Great for a photographer.

Very nice. Light cotton fabric, lots of pockets and great for travel. Nice to have an adjustable waist band.

I bought this new last because I had an old one from the same company that looked the same. The new one was slightly bigger, made of a different material, and some of the pockets were smaller. I am in the process of returning it.
