It's unobtrusive, streamlined, cool, with a sht-load of useful pockets that no one would guess existed.
The company has some wonderful items, unfortunately very few (except for his vest) for girls.
Thanks buddy, what a find!

The fabric doesn't stretch and once you fill the pockets it'll get tighter.
So if you wear XL, I'd say go for XXL.
I got the women's and I checked their sizing chart provided just to make sure I was ordering the right size. The XS had the right measurements.Quote:

Before you order though, call the customer service and see what they think.
(Worst case, you can always exchange it like I did.)
I'll be getting my larger sized vest (S) tomorrow or Sat at latest and will let you know how that fits.Quote:

Price aside, you can't go wrong with it.
sjj,
I got my (S) Scottievest and it fits perfectly--much better than XS.
So if in doubt, go a size larger.
The fit is still trim but comfortable, definitely not meant to be worn over many bulky layers while fully loaded and zipped up.
The arm opening is not very deep (which I like) and the fabric has no give anywhere. (wish it did)
I still like it a lot!
Birthday present: Filson Tin Vest "UPLAND Model"........30% off at Mt. Views Sports, regular $125.00 SALE: $87.50 I thought the bright orange was butt'ugly, so I turned it inside out and went for a walk on the Back Road. Then I thought if I get run over once or twice, I'll wish I had the bright orange side was out.
At least it fits, it hangs more right than wrong. It will last way longer than me, but that is getting to be the case with everything. I think I can have the game pouch sewn so as to be bi-level, with four back pockets.

And because stuff was settling to the bottom of the huge pockets, I unpacked & lay-ed everything out then selected one rigid item to serve as the backbone of each packet, then building vertical cylindrical packets about 1 1/4" in dia. by 8" long. This appears to be working "More'Goooder".

Iceman: you were correct, and I was wrong. The 5.11 has become my most used vest this summer.Quote:
