go-to garment

Some hoods suck, this one does not.
The vest is warm and cozy.
The top pockets are just large enough to fit lens caps, round and square filters, for when I pursue my hobby of landscape photography.

At work: When I bend over to trim and shoe a horse or split stove wood; long zipper-pulls dangle and obstruct my vision just enough to annoy. I will probably reduce the pulls with a grinder, someday...

I could easily visualize this vest having a pocket across the back with zippers or snap flap closures, large enough to temporarily stow a laptop wrapped in a rain coat or poncho

Soft & warm like a warm glove.

By Dam Engineer

from Piedmont, OK

I wear this with a long sleeve T shirt if the weather is really cold. When you need your arms for more active work, or need less bulk than a coat, this is perfect. I can work in this fully zipped. I wore it zipped up for 9 hours a few days ago while working underneath a house. It kept me warm and protected against the junk underneath. No tears, and it slid right over rocks. It is also perfect while driving the tractor. Just enough warmth and lets me move my arms without restriction.

The quality is very good. It has lots of pockets and the fire hose fabric is both soft and strong.

Would have been nice if 1 pocket was large enough for a paperback book or gloves or etc. A D ring would be nice as a clip location.

I use it shoveling snow, mostly, and it keeps my torso warm but my arms free; more range of motion.

Perfect for southern California climate. Keep warm even with the windows open on truck. IMHO this vest is perfect. Put a pair of Fire Hose work trousers on you cain't beat it. It's a poor mind that can only spell a word one way!!!

I like an 2x, but this is really big 2x. I wish I had exchanged it for xl. It's warm and feels warm wearing it,, but under a shell cold can't get you walking the dogs. Pockets are deep, you can put gloves in them without worrying about falling out. I walk across a bridge getting to the dog park, the wind blows hard. The hood blocks it all. There's a iPod pocket on the chest, but I wish it was bigger to hold a smart phone.
