Big Pockets Vests

Big Pockets Vests are designed and tested to meet the myriad needs of both the professional birder and hobbyist alike. Our attention to detail and functionality have made the Big Pockets vests popular with world travelers, animal trainers, photographers, hikers, wheelchair-assisted veterans, and anyone with the need for a lightweight vest with big and numerous pockets. Our two styles include the Tropical 10-Pocket Vest and the Equatorial 12-Pocket Vest. The one style difference is the addition of two chest pockets.

Both vests feature padded shoulders, collar, D-rings, water bottle pockets, weight distribution belt (used when the vest is worn open), and durable nylon fabric. Made in America.

As the author of large tropical field guides, I am delighted to find that BigPockets garments feature pockets for my field guides. An additional bonus is how quiet and quick-drying the fabric is.” — Bob Ridgely

The tropical vest is my second BigPockets product. I like what (they) offer for the obvious reasons—the big and many pockets—but also for the choice of fabrics so quiet yet really functional.” — John Kricher
