1. Photo District News Online
(Retrieved July 26th, 2007)
     We've seen a lot of photo vests, bags and packs in our day, but here's one that literally has everything. Designed by a photojournalist, Adventure Vest has enough padded pockets to fit a full-sized digital SLR, a 70-200mm lens, a 24-70mm lens, a teleconverter and a variety of accessories.

     Though carrying all this gear in a nylon vest might sound uncomfortable, reinforced supports in both shoulders help bear and distribute the weight. Since it's made of breathable cordura fabric, Adventure Vest is less likely to get sweaty, even when you do.

2. Rick LePage, MacWorld: PMA Photo Accessories Off the Beaten Path
(Retrieved July 26, 2007)
     Loren Callahan is a Seattle-based professional photographer who wanted a better vest for carrying around gear, one that would let him get to his cameras and zoom lenses quickly, but which would also not put wear and tear on his back during a long day shooting. After testing a bunch of commercial vests, he decided to make his own, and the Adventure Vest is the result. The $199 vest *note: (available on this website for $179) has ample room for a camera body, multiple lenses, and other accessories, and it comes with a built-in seat, to keep you warm and dry when you have to spend a lot of time on the ground. (Loren said he came up with the seat idea after shooting basketball games in an arena where the parquet floor was laid on top of an ice rink, which often resulted in a frozen butt.)
     Ben Long and I each tried the Adventure Vest on, loaded it up with a camera and telephoto lenses, and were surprised at how comfortable it was. Even when stuffed to capacity, it felt nowhere near as heavy as a full pack does on my back. The vest is a combination of mesh, neoprene and cordura nylon, and the units we looked at were well-constructed and filled with many thoughtful little details.
     The flip-down seat is designed to let you rock back in it for support, and it was pretty easy to get in and out of it once you got the hang of it. The seat also doubles as a tripod holder, and you can remove it entirely if you don’t need the bulk.
     Wearing a photo vest is an acquired taste. I know some folks who swear by them, while others would prefer to look “less dorky” and schlep their stuff on their back. Having used a couple of vests in the field, I know how good they can be, and just a short walk with Adventure Vest made me want to get one.
     Loren recently found a distributor for the vests, which means that they should become available in camera stores over the coming months (he has a “garage full of them” if you can’t wait). A khaki version of the vest is also on the way, for those who don’t want to spend a day in the sun in a black vest.

Available in two sizes and constructed of 600 cordura nylon, the rugged Adventure Vest can be custom fit with the tug of a few straps.

A fold-down chair is weightlessly incorporated into the Adventure Vest...no more standing long hours for the perfect shot!
