This lightweight cotton vest makes no attempt to provide padded protection for the small items of equipment it can contain.

The pockets are too small to accommodate all but very compact DSLR bodies and small zooms without their hoods attached. Even then, you may not enjoy negotiating the elastication every time. Thankfully, the pockets do, at least, sit at waist level.

Our Verdict:
While it might be quite a cool way of carrying paperbacks, batteries and memory cards around, has little to offer the active photographer with a load of fragile lenses.
