Great vest!, February 27, 2010
By: Red17 from Pensacola, FL

"Love it! This vest is everything as advertised and then some. Perfect for those cool days when you don't want to be bothered with a coat, goes with anything, and has enough pockets that you don't need to carry a purse. What's not to like? Size is true to all Orvis clothing and the adjustable waist let's you "slim it down" if you want."

Great Travel Vest, November 25, 2009
By: Tradewind from St. Thoms, VI

"Bought this vest for my sister who likes trecking/hiking, and always carries cameras and other gears. The color is very basic, go with any outdoor clothing she has, and pockets hold most of her camera equipment & valuables neatly.
The vest made her look very stylish even she did not care her appearance at all. She is happy since started wearing this vest, she got compliments from many people."

Forget the khaki side!, October 16, 2009
By: phlyfisher from MT

"I recently bought this vest for an international trip because I thought that it was attractive in the catalog. The material is soft and there are 8 pockets total. I started wearing it black side out on the plane and quickly discovered that the khaki side was picking up the color of the clothes next to it and looked very dirty--so I was never able to wear it khaki side out. It would be a great vest if it were all black."

Response from Orvis: By Orvis Customer Service Team, October 22, 2009

Extremely versatile, September 19, 2009
By: FloridaGirl

"Bought this vest in 2008 and wore it extensively thru all of Europe that year. It is light weight, stylish, wears & washes well; looks good over short & long sleeves. Can look casual with jeans, or dressed up with black slacks and one of Orvis' long-sleeve white no-iron blouses. Either side of this reversible vest complements all colors; eliminates carrying a purse, if needed. Loved it!

To my chagrin I lost mine in Salzburg, Austria, this month. Luckily my daughter is gifting me with another one for my upcoming birthday. I highly recommend buying this vest."

Great vest!!, June 15, 2009
By: BetsyJane from Madison, WI

"I bought this vest to wear on a trip to London and Paris. I was traveling with my aging mother, who needed my help, so not having to tote around a purse was a great convenience to me. The many pockets were sufficient for the items I needed to carry."

Felt I was wearing a sauna, November 8, 2008
By: uffda

"The vest looks good, fits well, has a nice feel to it. I ordered it for a trip to Europe, and I did wear it on the various plane connections, but out and about it felt like I was wearing a plastic bag. Have it on, sweat like a pig; take it off---ahhhhhhh! The fabric doesn't breathe at all. The only place I could wear it was in Sweden--at the end of October."

Great Style & Fit, Love it!, August 2, 2008
By: peachcider from Tulsa, OK

"Love the slight safari look style of this vest and the fact that you are getting two great, wearable colors in one vest. The fit is fantastic and comfortable, just slip it on and go. It seems like it has a waterproof finish. Am looking forward to cooler weather so I can start wearing this vest regularly."

Best of a Good Selection, July 26, 2008
By: personable1

"This may sound a little crazy, but having ordered three travel vests from two different sites, I feel I have made the very best choice in keeping this great reversible vest! It was the first piece of clothing that I chose for an up-coming month-long trip and I can hardly wait to wear it every day of my journey. It fits great, the length is perfect, the pockets are well-placed and the reversible colors of black/tan go well with the other items in my small travel wardrobe. Thanks, Orvis!"

Don't leave home without it, July 15, 2008
By: Aussiegirl from Australia

"When
I purchased this item I thought it would be a useful garment during my
travels through UK and France on a garden tour in June/July. I hardly
had it off my back. Probably wore it most days, whether on the black
side or the reversible beige. It went with everything. The big plus was
the pockets. I felt safe in putting passports, cash, etc. in various
pockets so that if I ever did have a problem with pickpockets, they'd
have to attack all 8 pockets to find everything. It's an amazingly
versatile garment. Thank you Orvis - this is a little gem."

Very Servicable for valuables, October 8, 2007
By: Tricia from Louisville, Ky.

"Recently, my husband and I traveled a distance of over 5,000 miles and I wore the travel vest to hold my travel checks and money, so that I would not have to carry a large purse. It was very attractive and comfortable to wear. It did not wrinkle or bunch up and was also water repellent. To change the look of the vest I reversed it and it worked very well on either side. This is a great product and I look forward to wearing it again in the future."

I Love This Vest!, October 5, 2007
By: TMcMullen from Redwood City, CA

"I've been looking for the right vest for quite a while. I saw this in the store and liked the look of it. The next thing was to try it on. I really like that it doesn't look or fit like a man's vest."

Must Have Item, October 5, 2007
By: traveler

"I bought this reversible vest to use while traveling in Italy. The quality is superb and the functionality great. I loved all the pockets to "hide" my passport, etc. Didn't need to carry a purse. Also very stylish. Will use it over and over again in my travels."

Perfect Travel Companion, October 5, 2007
By: travel101 from Lancaster, NY

"You can't beat this versatile, practical and affordable vest. It's reversible and machine washable. There are plenty of pockets to hold your camera, sunglasses and other items. Use the interior pockets to stow your passport and money. And to top it all off, it looks great, too!"
