JKSafety 9 Pockets Class 2 High Visibility Zipper Front Safety Vest With Reflective Strips,Meets ANSI/ISEA Standard (X-Large, Yellow)

Unexpectedly High Quality…
I picked this up, because I needed a high visibility outer layer that’d fit over my late fall/early winter camping layers, and I needed it THAT DAY (yeah, planning not my forte). The price was right, and the shipping would have it in my bag on time, so I ordered it thinking if it survives one trip, I’m happy, and I’ll get my act a little more together next time and find my forever-solution later. No need. This is a keeper. Mad love on the pockets and overall greatness of this thing!I was pleasantly surprised at how high quality the entire product experience was. Below are each of the main features and what I found nice or outright impressive about them.- Packaging: really nice – heavy PVC resealable bag- Main Body/Pocket Fabric: lightweight and not stiff or crunchy like other inexpensive safety vests I’ve had the displeasure of being required to wear- Main Reflective Tape: not stiff and doesn’t hold a nasty crease, does not cause vest to hang weird even when it’s been folded up for a long time- Pockets: all well cut multi-piece construction, well finished with good closures** (more on the epic pockets below)- Finishing: both the piping edging the pocket flaps and the soft bias tape lining the garment edges is reflective, stitching is good and even, zippers, velcro and snaps well attached** OMFG THE POCKETS! These are by far the best features, and they make me wish they made this vest in not-safety-colors and in a small, I’d add a couple to my general camping and outdoor activity wardrobe in a heartbeat. All these pockets and only 8.8oz! I didn’t realize (probably because I didn’t really read the details… I was seeking solutions right now not shopping for the platonic ideal in form, function and price, here) that the chest pockets were so well designed – Left Chest is divided into a front and back double compartment, front has clear PVC window for ID, or could hold most phones upside down for quick glances and easy reach. Right Chest has a flap that conceals a flat zipper pocket, a key/lanyard ring, a smaller flap closure pocket, and a pen pocket (not sure if it’ll hold a flat carpenter’s pencil, but I suspect it will). The hip pockets are both really good sized, and have a snap closure. They’re plastic snaps, but they lock decently, and they keep the weight down. Yeah I’ve become one of those.Disclaimer Note: This may not be a daily driver safety vest for everyone. The lightweight material and pocket-laden design makes me super happy, because I am 5’4″ and my main who is also my campmate of choice is 6’4″. Watching me scrabble up the trail after him must be like watching a corgi chase a German Shepherd through a shutzhund obstacle course… maybe I should use this thing every trip, so when I stroke out chasing him up the trail he can find me quicker… anyway, I love the lightweight because I am adding this over winter layers and/or loading it into a pack to drag (yes drag, and I mean the pack and myself, real talk, a quarter mile in fully-laden I’m sucking wind chasing his tall a$$) miles uphill to camp. That same lightweight design may not be as desirable for someone doing heavy outdoor manual labor daily. I imagine you’d probably need a replacement about quarterly at minimum doing most construction work day to day. I also suspect the pockets wouldn’t be so desirable to a lot of construction laborers, because they’d get hung up on equipment if the vest was cut to be loose in summer and fit around a jacket or coat in winter, especially in winter with a jacket that makes everything stick out that much more. Just something to be aware of if you’re ordering for a daily driver, so to speak. That said, for how nice it is I could be totally wrong it may last years, my experience with this particular type of fabric is limited, or at under $20 a throw maybe you just order a handful at a time and call it a wear and tear part. I think J.K even sells a discounted 5-Pack of these bad boys, so you and all your friends can match, or you get a year plus daily use supply. Win either way.

Soft touch reflective jacket high quality
I was in search of a nice reflective jacket for night work. The vest given to me at work had poor quality like a potato sack. This new reflective vest was soft to the touch but sturdy with multiple pockets. I ordered the XL which felt a little snug; I wear a 44 suit jacket. The XL is listed as 50 chest but it felt like a 42. If you want some extra room order one size larger! Overall well pleased except for the smaller than expected size.

Great hi vis vest
Alot of pockets, and great material, very durable,

Looks nice
Nice looking vest with multiple pockets. I do wish it had pen pockets though without having to put them in the other ones. Overall works wells and very comfortable.
