text: I carry a bunch of stuff some related to an injury and a rather extensive first aid stuff so I need a lot of pockets. Got tired of caring a big back pack or bag. My first pocket vest is about to give up the ghost so I needed new one. Only thing I did was add snaps to some of the pockets to make sure they didn't open up by mistake. I also add stuff to it when I go camping. Revision. It's not cotton. The design is great but the implementation stinks. Had to make repairs on it due to crappie sewn seems. Not enough fabric at the stitches and they used crappie thread. I'm on my 6th or 7th repair and have not used it that much so far. Stitching is coming lose way to often. Junk.
