Light weight vest
By Dorothy M N., HI in October, 2009
• I'm very pleased with the vest. I have a fleece vest but wanted a light weight one that has inside pockets. The light weight is especially good in Hawaii and during summer months in Vegas. There are not very many days when a fleece vest can be worn in Honolulu The inside pockets make it unnecessary to carry a large purse.

"National Parks" vest
By Mickey M., NC in October, 2009
• This vest is the best! A friend and I bought these for the National Park patches that we've collected. We've had many compliments on the vests with thirty seven National Park patches sown on (so far)! We hope to add the other twenty one patches (or as many as the vests will hold). Many folks ask us where we got the vests, and we quickly tell them about Magellans. Yes, we love the pockets which hold the NPs Passport books, cameras, maps, ID and anything else we want. Thank you, Magellans!!!

Fantastic vest - great comfort, great security
By Jim B., CA in October, 2009
• Love this vest. I have two. I am a 42 chest and one is size medium which fits tight and close and I wear it in the winter travels. It is excellent for that little extra warmth. The security features of the zipper pickets are fantastic. It allows me to put my money up high and inside for total security. In black it does not standout under dark jackets. I have a size large for warmer weather. Would not be without it!

Travel Vests
By Sandy B., CA in October, 2009
• My husband and I each bought one in each color and wore them in England, France, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Jordan. They are very comfortable and insulating even when it was warm. Our guide warned us about pickpockets, but the vest is very protective. They also look very nice---not like our safari vests--these are dressier. We think these vests are really good.

Just what I wanted
By Bob H., TN in October, 2009
• Quality, price, very light and comfortable, I thing I need another one.

Comfortable and very functional.
By Jeff W., IN in October, 2009
• Earlier this year, prior to a trip to Ireland in September, I purchased two of these travel vests. Of course, in Ireland, their weather makes it imperative that you choose layered-clothing. These vests were my favorite apparel as they can be worn over almost anything, and the inside pockets makes it so easy to secure valuables and have plenty of additional pockets for many other uses. Great for traveling, and I highly recommend either color.

Great vests
By Sandy B., CA in October, 2009
• We have both colors and recently wore them throughout Turkey, Greece, Egypt and Jordan. They are lightweight so even in the heat, I found them to be comfortable and protective of my passport, wallet, etc. Unlike my safari vest, these look much dressier too. I am really happy that I have them. My husband feels the same way about his too.

outstanding vest
By stephen k., TX in September, 2009
• very good vest.... very light weight for the climate in south texas.. pockets very well done, enough room for everything I need... I take it everywhere I travel.... love it.........

light weight, sturdy and cool for the tropics
By Anonymous in August, 2009
• Doesnt add weight, cool for the tropics but this material is sturdy

Thin, lightweight
By Jim F., IL in July, 2009
• Excellent for stowing books, iPods, MP3 players when travelling, esp. on airplanes. of the three diferent vests I've had, this is by far the best.

So Many Pockets, So Little Time
By Debra J., WA in July, 2009
• I'd give this vest five stars it they made it in a petite size. I'm 5'2" and 120# so it looked like a sack on me. To counter this I gathered the back at the waistline and stitched it down to give it more shape. I wore it all over Istanbul in the sweltering heat and it was so much better than carrying a bag or pack. I really liked it, but returned the light colored one because the color just didn't seem right. The black one looks great though. Lots of pockets and I had trouble remembering just wh

Travel Vest a Winner!
By Barbara M., TX in June, 2009
• We ordered these vests in both colors for our 3-week trip to Italy, which included seven nights aboard a 5-masted schooner. The vests exceeded expectations for storage and comfort and washed and dried lickety-split!

Love this vest!
By Patti W., FL in May, 2009
• I was looking for a travel vest with pockets but not many, many, many pockets. This vest did the trick. Fits great, looks great, lightweight, and just enough pockets for all my stuff.

Great Travel Vest
By LYNN K., HI in May, 2009
• This is a very lightweight and comfortable vest. Multiple pockets made it easy for me to drape my cameras/binoculars around my neck instead of dealing with a handbag and cameras/binoculars. Only drawback was mesh lining which made it a little difficult to put large things in pockets (passport/ticket pouches, etc.). I wore it every day on my 12-day trip to Japan. Pocketbook and travel pouch were secure in inside pockets. Worry free travel! Love it, love it, love it!

Great vest
By E J., IL in May, 2009
• I bought this vest for air travel. There are sufficient pockets to hold travel documents, credit cards, money, and all the essentials needed on the airplane so I do not have to keep going into my bag during the flights. Some of the pockets seem flimsy but they are really very sturdy. It really fit my needs

All Year Round Travel Vest
By Carol P., VA in April, 2009
• This is the best choice of travel vests for all sorts of weather. I can wear it in the summer without feeling smothered by heavier fabrics of winter weight vests. It is thin enough that I can wear it under a rain jacket or coat. I think of it more as a traveling, wearable wallet, rather than an article of clothing.

Great product, great price!
By jeff w., IN in April, 2009
• In preparation for a trip to Ireland this fall, I decided to purchase a travel vest because of all the pockets that hold a variety of things. Originally, I ordered a size XL, but found it to be just a "wee bit" snug...not a lot, but figuring that in Ireland, I would be wearing layers of clothes, depending upon the day's climate, I decided I wanted a little more freedom of movement. Even if it was a little snug, I very much liked the looks/functionality of the garment and knew I still wanted the vest...I returned it to Magellan, and ordered a 2XL, as well as a second vest. I am looking forward to carrying my valuables, camera, etc around the Emerald Isle, using several of the convenient pockets, several of which are on the inside, providing more security. I think that both vests, which seem to be made to very high standards will provide me a lot of service as I travel. Since I haven't actually used either one yet, I limited my rating to just four stars, but truthfully, I feel that after I've used them, they will become five-star parts of my wardrobe. Thanks.

a lightweight
By Helenmarie s., NY in February, 2009
• Fabric was too flimsy but had lots of pockets

Filing cabinet you wear
By Michael P., WA in January, 2009
• This vest is terrific. Except for what you are not permitted, it holds everything I want for my plane trip (except a bigger seat)! My hardy recommendation.

well made
By andrew r., FL in January, 2009
• nice product for traveling, nice and light for hot or warm climates, good pockets. recommended

Good lightweight travel vest
By Anonymous in January, 2009
• lightweight, lots of good pockets, fits well though wish it were a bit longer (XL bought), not meant to keep you warm at all so good for summer travel mainly. good price and nice color. pleased with product overall.

exactly what I was looking for
By G B., MD in December, 2008
• Extremely well made, almost weightless, very comfortable, clean simple lines, this should be cool even in summer. I bought this for use as a photographer's vest for carrying a few light but bulky accessories and this does the job perfectly. I especially like the fact that it is available in black, since I wear black clothes when shooting professionally, and it really keeps me unobtrusive.

Vest, and how I like it.
By Nancy H., CA in December, 2008
• I haven't worn it yet but it is perfect for traveling because it is so light and has so many pockets. I think I'll get lots if use out of it. It's better than that heavy "wired" vest I ordered originally. Thanks Nancy Holtz

Very useful vest, light and comfortable
By Don G., TX in December, 2008
• I find this very useful for when I have a shirt without pockets and on the "not so cold" days. It is lightweight and very nice looking. Only have one criticism, they could lose the front tab snap or arrange to hide it when you do not wish to close it because it sort of flops around if you dont snap it. Otherwise, I like the vest very much and have worn it often.

To each his/her own...
By Sara H., PA in December, 2008
• I ordered this and returned it. It was too lightweight to carry much stuff without feeling very floppy -- I'm sure it would be good for tropical climes or to go under another jacket, but on its own, it didn't work for me. In Paris, it would have looked really touristy...

travel vest
By Carolyn N., HI in November, 2008
•   very pleased with the weight and fit of the vest, wish it had at least two more pockets. Looking forward to a trip where my hands will be free.

By Jean H., OR in October, 2008
•   I love this travel vest - I have one in each color and my husband has the light tan one. Best features for both of us are comfort ,it's very lightweight (drys easily overnight )and the multiple pockets. It's become a part of our airport atire for most trips.

By Sharon S., TN in October, 2008
•   I thought the travel vest was great, it eliminated the need for a purse and securely kept my passport and travel money. I look forward to using it again soon.

By Yvonne W., IA in September, 2008
•   I love my travel vest. It has so many pockets. I used them to carry my different camera lenses plus more!. So light weight and cool to wear.

By Cathy and John G., AZ in August, 2008
•   We both wore our vests with great confidence not only due to the security of our passports and wallets, but for their great looks also. We also enjoyed the hands free touring. We highly recommend them also for their light weight comfort.

By Ted M., CA in August, 2008
•   I love this Travel Vest and wear it every day. Light, comfortable, functional.

By Jean H., OR in August, 2008
•   I have had one in medium for several years and recently got one in large for my husband. It's lightweight, comfortable and a convient way to carry all the small stuff when traveling. Love it.

By Thomas W., CA in August, 2008
•   i like it that it is very light weight, has plenty of pockets but it would have been nice if it had a pocket specifically for a water bottle.

By Anonymous in July, 2008
•   Loved everything about this vest with one exception : the 2-way zipper is extremely user-UNfriendly . I read the insert when the vest first arrived and followed instructions to practice the zipper mechanism . In 2 months of use, the zippers absolutely refused to kiss each other unless they were practically worn down in the teeth with repeated attempts . NOT good for my arthritic fingers .

•   The sizes run large. I ordered a medium based on the size chart and it was huge on me. I then ordered a small and it was still pretty roomy. I am a 36-38 and the extra small is probably the right size for me.

By Gail R., OK
•   This vest is my travel purse and I'm so happy with it that I bought the other color, too, to coordinate with my summer travel clothing. I stash everything I need from digital camera with extra memory cards and Gorillapod to lipstick, money, moisturizer, notebook, and Clif bars into the pockets as well as smaller items like pen, breath freshener, and tissue. The trick is to load it evenly because more weight on one side makes it noticeable.

•   Why don't they make one like the men's with 33 pockets? Everyone knows MOM'S carry everything
