It is very practicalGood quality vest, lots of useful pockets. It's a fairly heavy fleece, so it's very warm.The "black" vest is definitely not black. It's more of a dark blue. You can really tell in the sunlight, or next to something that's actually black. This is a photo of the Scottevest next to a generic fleece jacket.Still a good vest, but the colors in the listing photos are a little misleading.Great feeling material and looks and feels great. I am small but have a broad chest for 5'8". I would up size to an XL for looser fitting under arms and upper chest. But not complaining!The product seems well made and fits nicely. I wish I know how best to clean it.My son doesn’t like to use a book bag because of the smaller items are hard to find and can get broken.He loved all the pictures cleats to stay organized.It is slightly heavy but very well made.Wearable male diaper bag.I was so tired of hearing where is my????? Now all in one warm soft cozy place and if you are lucky they will even hang it up ?Works well for meBought this for my boyfriend and he loved it! He loves the design and all the special pockets.
