purchased for my camera gear... By ekdugger from Wyoming on 10/11/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Thought that this would make a great vest for camera filters, etc. Purchased the mens small, and then took it in a couple of inchs, down the back. Couple of darts down the front, and voila, a vest that fits... As to repelling bugs, not a whole lotta luck there. But I am in Central America and the insects are fierce!!

By M on Foot from Zion Grove,Pa on 09/16/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Insect repelent, Lightweight, Pockets, Stylish Cons: Doesn't Breathe, Warm Best Uses: Cool Weather, Day Hikes, Geocaching, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: plenty of pockets--gps,compass, folded map, whistle, first aid kit, cell phone, found a place for everything for short hikes and outings
uncomfortable and awkward carrying one water bottle,works better with two and keeping weight equal alternating usage.
with all the mesh you would expect ventilation but the full panel front acts as another layer and is hot on warm days- opening zipper defeats load dispersion
I believe the insect shield was a plus because others hiking complained about the bugs while I had no problem
