The vest was given the name "Tropical" because of its unique fabric. Customers wanted a functional, lightweight, non-rustling vest with lots of big pockets that was comfortable in hot weather. Weighing only 14.5 oz., this lightweight fabric has a 40+ UPF rating (even when wet) and high-tech Moisture Control System®, which rapidly absorbs and moves moisture away from your skin, allowing the garment to dry quickly. The soft mesh lining has a cooling effect and allows the vest to be easily and comfortably worn over other clothing. The vest packs down to very little space when traveling, and it is machine washable.

OTHER FEATURES
The shoulders are padded to improve comfort while carrying items on your shoulder, such as a tripod or camera bag. There is a D-ring on the front below the left shoulder pad for sunglasses or anything with a strap.
The pattern-maker's challenge was to find a way to distribute weight away from the neck and shoulders and from the front and back when the pockets are loaded up with heavy items and the vest is worn open. A snap belt in the front can be used to distribute weight evenly when the vest is not zipped up. The snap belt is conveniently secured to the vest, when not needed.

The special collar protects the neck when using items, such as binoculars and cameras, that have neck straps. There is a loop inside the collar for hanging the vest up on a hook.
Slide slits on bottom of each side of the vest allow for easy movement when walking.
The 2 large pockets on each side of the chest are called the "Bino Pockets" because large items, such as binoculars, can fit in these roomy pockets and are easily accessible. Inside one Bino Chest Pocket is a hidden, zippered pocket for a passport and wallet.
On the front, there are 4 more pockets, also easily accessible, in which you can put field guides, snacks, and other gear. Two of these pockets are zippered and two have Velcro closures.
On both sides of the vest there are mesh waterbottle pockets with elastic at the tops to hold the bottles securely.
In the back of the vest, there is an over-sized, zippered pocket for large items.
Most customers use the Tropical Vest year-round. It can be worn over shirts in the summer or sweaters in the winter. There is no other vest on the market like this one!
