Bulky and the XXL is huge
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019
Very well made, and for many this will be very useful. However, it is not useful for wearing under a business suit jacket, as it is padded and thus bulky, rather than thin and lightweight. It is also not something you will want to wear while driving or sitting in a hard chair, given that the pockets are distributed on the back as well as the front. OTOH, for someone who wants it to wear when out and about (not sitting), to be handsfree, as long as you don't mind the bulk of the comfort(?) padding, this would be excellent. Loads of different pockets. The XXL is big even on my husband, so I am surprised some reviewers seemed to suggest that it is smaller than expected. I'd say the XXL size would definitely fit an XXL man, and quite possibly an XXXL man or larger too. On me its lower edge hits just above my knees. (Admittedly I am 5'5" and 107lbs.)
Very utility, especially for on the go.

Although this is a tad smaller than I wanted it, I could have ordered a larger size. Regardless, I use this often and it is exceedingly handy to store my wallet, keys, phone, and shades in a single place. I don't have to worry about collecting these things, just grab this and go. I use this on small hikes and if my athletic clothing does not accommodate pockets for these devices when I finish. I wish the inner slot for one's identification is a bit bigger as it isn't very helpful for its size to insert a money clip or similar, I don't like the writing on the top of the shoulder either; the company should consider a small logo patch or some such versus having that huge of a font on the shoulder. Regardless, it's usefulness still outweighs any negative concerns I have for it.
I love this thing!

I take a commuter bus (2 hours each way) and needed something that could hold the essentials and keep them handy for me, both while I was on the bus, and generally while I'm going about my day. I also spend hours at a customer site several times a week, and needed a relatively unobtrusive hands-free way to keep all my stuff with me without needing to repack anything.I've been using a small sling bag, but I was frustrated by the main compartment being a sort of black hole, and by how uncomfortable the strap could get around my neck. This solves both problems.Everything has its own compartment, and I can distribute things evenly with respect to weight and bulk. Things I need all the time (including my diabetes supply case) are in the front half. Things I need less often or occasionally are in the back. If you pack with an eye towards keeping things in the front that aren't comfortable if you lean against them when you sit, and if you don't overpack a given compartment, the complaint I've seen from other reviewers about not being able to wear this while you sit isn't a problem.I haven't tried it with a water bottle yet, because I have a different system for that, but the velcro compartments on the inside are amply big enough to accommodate one. I bought a 2X, and if I don't ever incorporate a water bottle, I actually might have been able to get away with a 1X. But it's nice to have a little more flexibility, and it isn't excessively too big.
Great pac.

Finally back to work. As a field nurse I was looking for something that I could use and not have to put down when I was with a patient. This works well. Plenty of pockets although I wish the long zipper was two or three separate areas for my bigger /longer items. This is so comfortable to wear. The phone pocket isn't large enough for some of the new phones if you are going to connect your phone to old fashioned ear buds
Didn't like the fit to big
