Icon Lightweight Softshell Polyester Durable Tactical Athletic Full Vest

I'm the type of person that gets hot really quick wearing jackets and sweaters. To me they're usually more of a hassle being that I'm on my feet 7+ hours a day and don't like having to go back and forth to get my jacket. This vest is just slim enough to be modern looking but not so "skinny" that it doesn't fit my middle-aged frame (#minibeerbelly). I never wear jackets all day and I often wear this vest with comfort all day long. Nice find for the price. You don't have to pay for the brand label like you find in all the sports apparel stores. I especially like the chest pocket that's sized just right for your phone or normal wallet. I just wish they came in gray and other colors. I'm not in the first responder field so some extra stylish offerings would work for me being that I manage 80+ people daily.

I recently featured this vest on my YouTube channel, Matt Stamp. I'm not a huge fan of big coats and jackets but have always been a fan of practical vests that work well for concealed carry, but at the same time don't make you look like a military contractor. The second I pulled this vest out of the box and put it on I immediately fell in love with it. Soft shell jackets and vests are a great winter warming layer, but what makes this vest my favorite outerwear garment is the cut and fit. Its longer than most vests so it makes a great candidate for both outside the waist band concealed carry, and inside the waistband concealed carry. Now I work in an office during my day job as a construction safety manager and during the winter months of New England its a warming layer that I can literally wear all day long. I wear a button up underneath and this vest, unlike many other vests out there, has a very professional look. At the same time, it also keeps me warm in a office with crappy insulation. No-one even gives me a second look which allows me to conceal carry very comfortably even in an outside the waistband holster without drawing attention to myself. I highly recommend this vest, it is a great, high quality option.
