The vest works well as a tool. I use it for weddings and other public functions when I want to be less noticeable.
I am vitally concerned with ecology and not abusing the environment, so I was angry that the vest is labeled “Humvee!” The worst vehicle for the environment is a poor choice of labeling for those of us who care about it. If it was specified as a “Humvee” in the description, I never would have purchased it. Needless to say, the label is gone and the zipper has been modified.
After using it only three times, one of the larger pockets split at the seam. I have repaired it, but will go back to more reliable Domke and other known brands.
I would now give it a one star rating.

With the restriction on bags/backpack at recent airshows this is a very good option. Will carry extra batteries and cards for the digital and still leave room for multiple rolls of 35mm film. Lower front pockets (inside and outside) will fit a 200-300mm range zoom with ease. Rear pocket will hold 350,400mm fixed length lens or a rolled poncho. Good weight distribution, much better then carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder.

The Campco Combat Photo Vest that I ordered met my expectations in every way. I would recommend it to anyone that needs a vest of this type regardless of whether they are a photographer or not. The vest has more than enough pockets for anything you might want to carry.

I ordered this vest for my photo gear, because it keeps lenses and filters and accessories close at hand better than lugging a camera bag when you’re on the move quickly. You would think it would be perfect, and it would be. Except that the one I received, (a “Hummer” brand with a dorky looking silhouette of a Hummvee sewn into it) was made from khaki nylon. And every seam in the vest is fraying, shedding profuse amounts of fine nylon cruft all over the place. Nylon thread that works its way into your lenses and camera body.
Manufacture quality is totally unacceptable for photo work. Maybe it’s great for weekend warriors who want to imagine they drive Hummers, but basically junk for anyone who cares for their gear.
