Need advice on a good photography vest...

[kgroppen]

I've been looking for something like this safari vest and I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on them? Is this something people really use on an African safari for photography??

Thanks,

Yah,That is a great 'vest' as you call it.I also use the same when going on safari and it's very comfortable and has many pockets which you can put so many things when doing photography eg writing pads,ball pens,camera batteries etc

Hi Katrina,

We have the same vest and it is great - it has so many pockets it will most probably hold all your gear (except the big lenses of course!). If you go hiking or do macro photography they are super - if you will be sitting in a vehicle then you don't really need one as your gear will be in your bag on the seat next to you.

What time of the year are you going on your safari? In summer the vest is just too hot and we never wear ours. In winter they are great (June to September).
