Kedera Men's Safari Fishing Vest Summer Outdoor Mesh Work Journalist's Vest Jacket

Compared to the expensive vests marketed in birding magazines, this is a tremendous value. Looks very nice (khaki) and appears to be well made. More pockets than you will know what to do with (and complicates finding things). If you fill them up and carry a field guide and camera, the vest (like any) will feel heavy hanging from your shoulders and banging into your body. On the other hand, all those things crammed into cargo pockets on pants and shirts are heavy and awkward too. So the trick is to distribute the weight. Even with the open mesh fabric, gonna make you a little warmer in the summer time, Hip pockets are large enough to hold standard sized field guides or a small (up to 8") tablet computer stored on it's side. I keep it stocked with a notepad, pen, field guide, and few small essentials (lens wipes, chap stick, tissues) and it is ready to go birding without a big production. However, if you are going to be away from a car for a while you may need to carry a water bottle and a rain jacket, in which case you are back to using a day pack. As noted by others, zipper pull is on the left / lady style. A water bottle specific holder would be a nice modification. You can carry a water bottle in an open hip pocket but it would project up out of the pocket and could easily fall out. On the other hand,t a full water bottle would add a lot of weight. Another helpful modification would be some kind of synch or belt so that it could be made to fit more snugly around the body to keep it from moving around when you are bending, climbing, twisting, etc. Delivery took 3 weeks. I am 5'10", 155 lbs athletic built male. large is loose over a shirt, but not so much as to be a problem. Wanted to err on the large side so I could wear over a thin jacket in cooler months. On the other hand, for only another $20 you could buy a second smaller one for summer! .

I used this as a summer dog training vest and got so many complements.!it has a lot of pockets for treads and dog toy

I've received the vast today. I ordered W Khaki size US 2XL. My chest is 48" and I wear Levis jacket XL. I am about 210lb (some belly, not a beer one), height 5'8". The vest fits perfectly, little bit free on the T-shirt and exactly if some cloth under. Length is good for me, as a vast should be. It will be good for man up to 6' (maybe even taller). The label says US 2XL=Asian 4XL. It is well made, zippers are plastic but look a good quality. Zipper handlers are of metal and not shiny, which is good. Label says brand KIPPAUL. Samsung 5.7" and full size wallet freely fit into the top pockets. The only complain I have that mash is of polyester, and looks somewhat not very durable, particularly if you smoke, it can be burned easily. If mesh was tougher, I would give 5 stars. It looks exactly as on the picture. Perfect for hot weather.

I wanted a mesh vest that I could wear when riding my motorcycle to hold my phone, satellite communicator, dog spray, and other odds and ends. All the pockets on this vest serve that purpose and keep everything handy. I usually wear size Medium shirts, but based on the other reviews I went with a size Large. That size fit me perfect over just a t-shirt. Then I decided to try to slip it over my mesh riding jacket - to my surprise it fit perfectly over that too. (Not sure how it's that versatile, but no complaints here!) It also seems to be well constructed, and the zipper works smoothly. I would recommend this vest if you want a lightweight & cool vest for summer use.

Fast delivery. Appears to be sturdy and sewn quite well. Seams have no raw edges and lie flat. Tried it on upon arrival. Fit is doable if I don't wear more than a light jacket in cooler weather. I wish I had gone for a 2x instead of an XL since I will be using the vest for photography in variable weather situations. Will just have to wear it unzipped and hope for the best. Three stars for comfort (size I got is ok.... but.....!!!!) and value, again a 3 because of the size guessing game. Very, very light weight and has lots of useful pockets -- 4 larger ones and 6 small ones on the outside. Two large inside pockets. I'm hoping to carry enough "as-needed" equipment for short hikes or very specific shooting ops and avoid carrying my full camera bag. Update: Decided that I needed to return the vest. AMAZING how easy returns are for Amazon! Will reorder and go for a much larger size. Good vest..... bad costumer information. Update 2: Returned the too small vest. Since I DID really like the construction and the potential usefulness of the vest for photography, I ordered a 2LX.... it fits perfectly with just the right amount of looseness to ensure I can wear a jacket or sweatshirt under it. Again, go at LEAST 2x TIMES larger than one's anticipated size. I suspect this sizing tip should work the same way for both women and men. For utility vests like this one (work-not-fashion), a loose fit is part of the functionality.

After I got the correct size -- I think these run small -- it is perfect. Lots of good pockets with zippers, velcro, etc. Holds my phone while I'm outside working. I wear it out running errands, too. Wallet, keys, sunglasses. Very nice and with summer coming, it is not too hot.

Light weight, comfortable, many pockets, very fair price. I use it a lot.

The chest pockets are too small for current cell phones. I gave it three because of their photos, which made the pocket look longer. However, if you carry a small phone, this vest is very well made.

Happy with this purchase

I ordered on March 6th 2020 and it arrived May 18th. Not the seller's fault, the very slow shipping was due to the pandemic. I did get a very quick response from the vendor when I queried about arrival though, so the customer service is good. As to the vest itself, it fits perfectly (5'2" average sized woman - I ordered the small) and it seems quite well made, given the price. I can't yet attest to wear strength as I just got it, but it looks like it will withstand a reasonable amount of wear. I will be using it for hiking mostly, to carry all the little odds and ends. I'm quite pleased with it.

Good fit true size good material

ok..

Good way to have lots of pockets during the summer. Gave as a gift to a young adult male; men don't wear purses.
