What do you think of this Billingham Photo Vest?

I'm really like the looks of this photo vest, looks more stylish than some of the others I have been looking at. www.billingham.co.uk/acatalog/Photovest.html

It also looks very durable. I know Billingham makes very high quality bags, does anyone know how these their vest are?

Thank you for your help.

I like the vest looks but just concerned with how deep those pockets are. I would want to make sure they expanded enough to get a lens or two into them.

Wasn't me :)

I have used others, but the Billingham vests are in a class by themselves for usefulness, crrying ability, and style. I have two,, and I'll use no other. Drawback? Check the price! But they do come up on e-bay...

Billingham is the Rolls Royce of camera bags, so this vest falls into that same category if you ask me.

Very nice photo vest, but is it really worth the price tag?
