Excellent Vest for Shooters
By Gwen2K
from Texas
This is a great, versatile vest. It was a gift for my husband, who is a competition shooter. He loves it. It is easily adjustable through the back.

I like but there are some issues
By Gregor
from Northern Minnesota
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!

Excellent CCW and all around great vest
By Jim
from Farmington, NM
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.

Nice simple carry vest
By TakeDeadAim
from Midwest
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.
Great vest but on the expensive side
By Bullet Bill
from Rives Junction, MI
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.

Pockets very functional. Really like being able to secure flap with pocket open.

Excellent concealment vest

This garment will feel most niches when you need a cover garment for concealed carry. However, it would make a fine fishing vest too.
Elite Discreet Carry Vest
from Holly Springs, NC
Good quality. Fabric is just stiff enough to clear the garment during draw.

Top notch product
By Woolrich fan
from CentreHall PA
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
By the norm man

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.

Application A+++
By Canyondan
from Longview, Tx
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.
