This is a great travel vest with six large pockets for storing things you may need during check-in, on the plane, or just items that wouldn't fit in your bag. This vest could take the place of a purse, letting you pack your purse in your suitcase or personal item. The pockets are roomy and any items in them surprisingly don't show very much. I ordered it after seeing YT "Travel Tips by Laurie" recommend it.
No need to pay $200 for a high brand travel vest unless you want a zillion little pockets. This one has more pockets than I will use. The zip pockets hold a large wallet and much more. Laurie even put a fabric crossbody purse in one of the front zip pockets. The deep inside slip pockets will easily hold an 8" tablet. The chest zip pocket is also large and wide. Unlike some reviews, the pockets in mine don't have any slits at the bottom for small things to drop through. The quality seems excellent for the price and the vest looks better than I anticipated. The neck is high but is soft and doesn't bother me. The zippers glide smoothly so far.
I love the lightweight, smooth, somewhat stretchy fabric. I think it would be fine even in summer over a short sleeve tee. I don't think I could wear it without a top under it because the armholes are large on me. Otherwise it seems true to size. The size chart may be the garment measurements, not body measurements; not sure. I first ordered the size Amazon recommended (XL), despite the size chart measurements seeming too big for me, and it was too large. I went down a size (to Large) and it fits well with a little room to spare, zipped or unzipped, with or without several items in the pockets. My bust measures 42" for reference. It is very slightly shaped just enough that it doesn't look boxy. The Cool Gray color is a lovely very pale cool gray just as it appears on the product page.
As some others have mentioned, I'm not crazy about a big logo on my backside and would prefer a smaller one at the hem instead, but there are no words or letters in it and it is light colored, so hopefully not too glaring. I like the 33,000 brand and I have a lightweight rain jacket in the brand. Highly recommend this if you want a casual pocketed travel vest for carrying multiple items, and that still looks trim and neat, not like you're going fishing. It would be good for running, cycling, hiking, etc., too, and has reflective accents and is water resistant.
