I Just Got a Newswear.com 'Mens Digital Chestvest', and realized that there are almost no info or reviews about this great Chestvest, so I figured I'd do quick one.

This is Professional Quick Access Weight-Distributed Chestvest that can carry a lot of gear, as you will see in the photos below.Available in Black or a Navy Blue/Grey ,I opted for Black. Fabric is Nylon Like, Semi Water Resistant.

Vest consists of four main compartments that have four more accessory pockets inside each flap.And On The Back You Get another Pocket, that i mainly use to keep a wallet or ID.
Pockets are really roomy and will fit most of my field gear hassle free.

Overall this is great 'bag', you can access you gear quickly and easy, I was looking for a better alternative to carry gear since my back tends to act up when I carry this much weight; I used to carry it all on a Crumpler 7MDH but lately I could`nt take it. I searched the net but found little to no info on this great vests,I knew a friend of mine had one but he lives far from my house, but I had no other choice and went to visit him so I could try it out. and it totally Rocked My World, I got home and order it right away.I really like it; and I hope if anyone is looking to buy into one of these this review will help!

PS: This is a one size-fits-all design that quickly adjusts to any body size or shape and will easily fit extremley tall or short, wide or thin people.

And I Also looked into the Think tank belts; but to carry this much gear it'll cost you twice what the Newswear Does, and it only puts weight on your waist unlike the Newswear that Distributes it on your chest, back, waist, and shoulders, freeing your body from stress points.

Likes about the bag:
Comfort, Space. Quality

Dislikes about the bag:
Resemblance to a 'Bomb Vest'

Thanks to Riko Gonzalez for review
