The Discreet Carry Vest maximizes concealment and keeps essential gear at the ready without attracting attention. The four front flapped pockets, fitted with expansion pleats, seal shut with hook-and-loop closures. The front closes with a two-way zipper, but the quick-release center front tab with hook-and-loop closure can secure the vest without zipping for those times when you might need quicker access to inside items. The vest includes a vented back for better airflow and a padded collar for comfort. Side-tab adjustments easily customize the fit. A good investment, the garment has been designed for durability with double-needle stitching, bar-tacked stress points, and non-fading reactive-dyed fabric. Treated with DuPont™ Teflon® Fabric Protector for a breathable, durable finish that repels both water and oil-based spills. Imported. Machine wash.

                  The Velcro tabs all had to be trimmed and I am looking for some kind of glue to soften the areas where the hook-loop fasteners and the adjusting straps cause a very uncomfortable situation.
                  Because of long tall needs I mostly wear short sleeve shirts and bare arms and these sharp areas where the hook-loop wasn't blended in are just plain miserable!

                        Comments about Men's 44424 Elite Lightweight Vest:

                        I've owned my vest for over 3-years now and my appreciation has steadly grown. After much use and wear, this is one of the few garments I've gathered over the years that I've come to depend on and frequently carry with me.

                        I looked at other CC vest but could not find one without the tactical rifle magazine pockets; an unnecessary addition for everyday carry IMHO. I think those pockets stand out like a sore thumb. Then, I found the Woolrich which is a much more understated design.

                        No seams have come apart, nothing has stretched out of shape and it just gets better with age. Even the elastic magazine holders in the lower pockets have not stretched and are as good today as when purchased. Great ventilation and adjustment capability. I've had quite a few people ask about the make just on a utility view point.

                        I got this vest for concealled carry and to use at a class that requires something that covers your gun so you can learn to draw from concealment just as you will carry. Nice product that does not scream, "there's a gun under here" I might add a small weight on the gun side front corner to help the vest clear the gun when drawing.

                        • Daily carry cover
                        • IDPA cover garment

                        Comments about Men's 44424 Elite Lightweight Vest:

                        I looked long and hard for a IDPA cover garment that was long enough, big enough, had good useful pockets but still fit well. Although a little on the expensive side, this vest fills the bill perfectly. For example, some vests have small double pockets that make fast clip retrieval hard, but the Men's Elite vest has big pockets that can even be fixed open for fast, easy access. Construction is excellent and not cheap looking at all, although this makes the vest a tad on the heavy side.

                        Although seemingly a small point, the collar adds to long term comfort and improves looks. My wife thinks it looks good enough that I often wear it on a daily basis, and of course it's a super carry cover (full size 1911 in an IWB). There is extra velcro on the pockets allowing you to fix them open with the flap out of the way, or not, as desired. Elastic bands in the pockets are intended for carrying clips I guess... good in theory but not so good in practice.

                        The corners of some of that velcro are sharp and exposed and can poke you, but a little trimming with scissors fixed that right up. I've tried a lot of vests at matches and on the range and although a little on the expensive side, this one is the best. If you're shooting IDPA or carrying regularly it's worth the money.

                          This garment will feel most niches when you need a cover garment for concealed carry. However, it would make a fine fishing vest too.

                            Good quality. Fabric is just stiff enough to clear the garment during draw.

                              I have a Khaki version of this vest. I purchased an OD version. They are great for casual weekend wear. The vest is an excellent concealed carry cover. Works well over layers or single shirt. Loads of pockets. The vest drapes well and is very roomy. I highly recommend it. Please keep it in the line. It is a bargain.

                                    Perfect for IDPA! It doesn't look tacky like other "tactical vests" people use when shooting IDPA.

                                    This looks good, has a good weight to it enabling for smooth draws.

                                    This product lets me wear my hip holster without worry of being noticed. It does not ride up while sitting or standing. Fabric washes well and does what it is supposed to do.

                                    I prefer the style that you sold about 6-10 years ago. It had more pockets in a better layout.
