Legendary Whitetails Men's Canvas Cross Trail Vest

The pictures for this vest are deceiving. It looks thinner and lighter than it is in real life.I just got it today and tried it on over a t-shirt and then the two different jackets I plan to wear it with through our fast-approaching Wisconsin/Minnesota winter. It fits great and the construction seems top notch. It has the four pockets on the front outside, and also two inside pockets that aren't mentioned, one of which has a zipper closure.I'm 6 feet and 240 pounds right now with a lot of it in the shoulders and chest, and of course also some in the midsection. My chest measures about 53-54 inches, which according to the size chart says I should have ordered a 3XL, but I listened to other reviews that said this item mostly runs a bit large and found that to be true. I got the 2XL and like I said, it fits me well over a t-shirt alone, t-shirt and a thin zip hoodie, and t-shirt and a thicker insulated zip hoodie.I was originally looking for a sherpa-lined vest, but thought more about it and went with this quilt-lined vest. The lining doesn't bind against whatever you have under it and makes movement easier because the lining is slippery compared to sherpa.Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It does run a bit large, as other reviews have stated, and the 2XL works great for me at 6' and 240 lbs, even with layering. Good construction, soft-but-durable canvas fabric that's comfortable, and the insulation is more than it appears in the pictures, but not bulky. Good pockets, and comfortable to wear. It will serve me well at work this winter and well beyond. I'm thinking I'll probably get a few winters out of this vest, wearing it most of the time I'm on the clock.

Great vest! Keeps out the cold, has a ton of pockets and is tough. Fit was true to size

This is a VERY nice product. One of the first things I do after purchasing a garment such as this is to check the quality of the stitching and zippers. In this case both were very well done. The stitching is clean and uniform with no bunching or unsightly thread clusters. The cross stitching on the lining should help hold the insulation in place even after after multiple washings. The zipper is a bit stiff but pretty much what you would expect from quality metalic hardware.I particularly like the feel of the stonewashed material on this product. My brother has a Carhartt vest. It's very nice as well but quite frankly as stiff as a board. The warm and comfortable knit collar on this product is also a welcome addition.I like a loose, generous fit in my outerwear. Especially in a garment like this that, depending on the temperature, can give you multiple layering options. I haven't had a chance to be out in extreme temperatures with it yet. But I can tell you I was relatively comfortable shoveling my deck in the mid twenties with only a thirteen ounce sweat shirt as a singe under layer. This is were a vest really shines. It gives you a good range of arm motion while helping to maintain your core temperature.I also like that this product has a variety of useful pockets. The main slash pockets on the outside are full and deep with snap closures to protect your valuables. (The snaps are easy to locate even in low light situations since they are positioned within the decorative flapsewn on the edge of the pocket). There are a couple of breast pockets that are quite useful as well. I'm not sure about the usefulness of some of the inside pockets yet but it's always nice to have other options available as needed. Especially if you need to protect perishables in inclement weather.I haven't hunted in more than thirty years but I have always loved a good camo pattern. I think we have all seen some of the junk out there that looks like it was mapped out by a five year old with a handful of crayons. Happily the pattern on this garment is EXCEPTIONALLY nice.In case you haven't guessed, there is really nothing I don't like about this product. I highly recommend it.

I bought this vest for three main reasons:1: It was a crew neck vest.2: It had breast pockets without a flap.3: It was thick and warm.I'm an auto mechanic. I use a pen, pocket flashlight, and pocket screwdrivers all the time. I'd been looking for a vest with a breast pocket without a flap for years, but only if it had a crew neck because I like being snug in my clothes and nice and warm. This vest fit those three requirements, and looked great to boot. I bought the black version, and have been wearing it for two years. It's not totally black, more of a dark bluish-gray, but that fits in great with my job's uniform colors. It's extremely tough, made from a heavyweight denim, and has a good thick liner and is extremely warm. I don't work in really cold environments, but deep winter in southern California can get chilly, and this keeps a hot climate boy warm! Sometimes too warm, and I have to unzip it to cool off.The only reason I removed one star is because of the inner pockets. I'm not sure if they fixed it on the current version of the vest, but mine has snaps and is open on one side. I keep my wallet in one of the inner pockets and I sometimes worry that it will fall out because the pockets are open. If the current version doesn't have the open pockets then it's the perfect vest.As far as fit, it's really true to size. I'm 5'8, 160 pounds, and a small is nice and snug on me. So measure your chest and compare it to size charts, because it's going to be quite accurate.

Excellent fit and quality at a fair price.

Excellent product. Used it for several days in cooler weather for bird hunting. Kept wind and cold out and pockets had plenty of room for a full box of shells. My now go to vest .
