I love Pockets!
The vest is as pictured. It has nice big pockets. I am traveling over the 4th of July and wanted something lightweight to wear. I think this vest will work well. It has 9 pockets and that's pretty much all I need. I won't have to carry a purse.I also have the Best Travel Vest for Women in the same size, M2. I feel that the 101 Vest for Women runs just a wee bit smaller, but that should be okay because I won't be wearing any heavy clothing under it.I love how, even with items in the pockets, the vest still lays flat. I am excited for my trip and to try out my new vest!

Overall great, but one oddity
I did not want to write a review until I had actually used this. Now have. Three week trip to Europe and wore it every day. Pros: front lower pockets amazingly large and deep. An astonishingly large number of objects fit in these! Inner zip pockets held my cell phone, passport, and tablet. Top front pockets: my left held useful small amount--room for transport cards and the like. The weight distribution was great--my shoulders did not get tired at any point. Easy to pop in the wash on my return.On the other hand . . . (Con forthcoming) the top right zip pocket, which is Scott Vest's sunglasses pocket--I base this on the handy glasses cleaner on a string attached within--is too small! In what universe is this large enough? It is absolutely necessary to keep sunglasses and clear glasses (prescription--these cost a lot) in a case or snaps and breakage are going to happen. By sheer luck I already owned a smaller glasses case that could fit, barely, into the pocket. Snug fit for my sunglasses. (Someone with a larger head/larger glasses might not be able to fit their glasses in at all.) Because of the too tight fit, it meant an elaborate and far-too-long effort to get the case out and then back into the pocket. First, I had to remove my gloves (visited Europe in February, aka winter, aka cold) and then angle the case out at just the right angle, and then reverse the process. Sometimes this required removing the gloves from both hands. Very very annoying and not at all good! The concept--outer pocket, top, is excellent. the application, however, is awful. I got very cross with this. Usually I can change from sun to clear with my gloves on. This is my gripe about this product.Because I was using the vest as an extra luggage, it was stuffed, which was great. It also meant that at no time was I able to zip my coat when wearing the vest. Maybe in a coat two (three?) sizes too big for me it could have worked, but not in a correctly sized coat. Happily for me, while cold, it was not freezing on my trip, so zipping my coat was not a necessity. A large scarf and the vest itself kept my front from getting cold in this arrangement. Sometimes on non-travel to another city days I was able to snap a couple of the coat snaps. Travel days between cities it was not going to happen because more items were in the vest. The vest made me look even bulkier than I am, but whatever. I was a tourist. Not going to look elegant or sleek anyway. I don't think this is going to be flattering on anyone unless they are super-thin and do not put anything in the pockets, which misses the point of the item. You have it to put stuff in, not to look good. At any rate, others might consider a too-large coat when using this vest as that extra piece of luggage.I wish wish wish the glasses pocket was larger! If Scott Vest does take notice of this and make the pocket bigger in future versions, that would be great for future purchasers. At $129 I am not going to be able to afford to purchase another one. This fell under expensive, to me. Can't be buying another one willy-nilly. At $129 I am going to continue to use and continue to be VERY cross about the glasses pocket when traveling in winter. (For warmer weather I have a multi-pocket jacket.) If there had been a lot of sunny days (there were few) on the trip where I had to do the remove/return dance, I would have been very very angry with it.In summation, I am glad I have the vest although the glasses pocket it a MAJOR error. The difficulty with putting the glasses in another pocket (vast lower pockets come to mind) is that all the other stuff in the pockets are likely to fall out while fishing for them. Glasses are something you want separate from your other items so you can get to them quickly--a sudden sunny sky, going into a building, etc. Why purses and handbags often have an outer pocket--at least the ones I purchase do!

This is one of the BEST clothing investment purchases you can make
Highly recommend investing in this vest. It is a very comfortable piece and due to its construction with multiple pockets, will become slightly weighted depending on what you chose to carry. You can carry a multitude of everyday things - phone, glasses, personal reader, camera, your child's items, snacks, medicine, documents, IDs, gloves, hat, etc. The many pockets serve well for carrying all the items you need, leaving your hands free. Additionally, when using vest for these items, it frees up space in your personal bag. For air travel, this is ideal for reasons said previously but also there are hidden pockets which reduce risk at security from potential theft while you are not able to watch your items pass through security. Additionally, wearing all your valuables keeps them safe when you must leave your seat to use bathroom, stretch your legs or in the extreme case of an air emergency, you will have all your valuables on you whereas other passengers will be prohibited from grabbing personal items if exiting the plane is necessary.While traveling, the hidden pockets prevent pickpockets from accessing your valuables. This can happen at a local attraction like a festival or sightseeing at local/international tourist attractions.The vest allows you to layer without the bulk. Very helpful for when I walk, eliminating the need for a sling bag or carrying items in my hands. Keeps my hands free - can hold water bottle, sunglasses, phone, gloves, hat, personal safety/security devices, documents/ID, etc.The item is a bit pricey but believe me, if it spares you from having any one or more items from being stolen, it has paid for itself. It is very comfortable and can be used throughout the year, not just for special travel occasions. If it means purchasing with a friend and sharing the cost and use of this vest, do it, you won't regret the purchase. This makes an incredible gift as many people consider it a luxury but the practicality far exceeds people's expectations.

Quality product but smaller than normal stated size.
Maybe not true to size. Runs smaller than stated size.

High quality, great construction
Amazon suggested I buy a size larger which I did and it fits perfectly! Quality construction, wonderful fabric. Each section has soft stabilizing support netting on the inside to support the extra weight you can load into the many pockets. This is a beautiful vest (I got red) which is great for travel. The large size is a trim fit. I am 5'8 and weigh 150 lbs. I plan to get a white one for summer.
