Pro Cam-Fis Roaring Fork River Jacket - Cotton, Zip-Off Sleeves (For Men)

I bought this jacket to fish in but it is too nice and stylish for that. I generally wear a 2XL. I bought the XL based upon an earlier review. The XL fits me great with room to spare. I highly recommend this jacket.

I use only as vest,hold extra lens's filters, extra camera battery and card, zip lock baggies for camera, carry contract bag to sit on, snacks, water bottles, toilet paper,wet wipes knife and rubber gloves. Small compass, lens wipes,snipes, and small flash light. regular gloves. Insect repelent. I'm sure I forgot something!

As a photographer in the field, I carry lots of accessories of different sizes and shapes, and need many of them to be immediately-accessible, rather than having to reach in my bag all the time. While there are photographers' vests out there, they don't suit all my needs, including weather protection, multi-sized pockets both inside and outside the jacket, removable sleeves for different temperatures, and so on. This jacket/vest has it all, and the quality - wow! I'm a 5'5" 138 lb. female and I ordered the man's small. Perfect fit. I many not fish, but I catch lots of photo action in the water! :)

Purchased this for a friend who leads equine packs for forest work, outfitting, and wildfire rescue. It would have been perfect except for one thing...there is not slit/opening in the back which makes this poor for horseback riding especially as it is a little longer than your usual jacket. It would undoubtedly bunch up. I was sorry to send it back but it doesn't fit the need. It would be terrific for other outdoor activities, including photography, birding, fishing, hunting, hiking, but not for activities requiring sitting for extended periods of time.

Nice casual jacket. Lots of pockets, not lined but a heavier canvas like shell. The small was very full cut, to big for me (37R, 31 waist). It is casually styled without looking military, but because it's so big I'm sending it back.
