I personally have one from Pro Cam-Fis, I got it cheap and it's really well aerated (lots of mesh) usually ones with more mesh aren't very bulky.

Something similar to that but it's blue.

Got a cheapo special from ebay a couple years ago, and honestly, I have never worn it after the first time.  I found it to be awkward when I had gear in it.

I own two, a Domke and a lowepro. Both are pretty nice but if I fill the many pockets I become lethal in a crowd. If you think going light when you pack them they aren't too bad. In my experience, its probably best to get one maybe a size smaller so your gear isn't flopping around, breaking ribs and such.....;)

Why so serious?

Honestly, I have a tough time with all the weight on me.  Why not just use a sling?

:agree:
Pretty much.
I use a tactical vest if I use one at all. They are pretty secure, and have nice heavy duty pockets. I do not consider them bulky, but they are heavier than a photographers vest.
Especially if you use the trauma plate. :P
