Legendary Whitetails Men’s Canvas Cross Trail Vest

Not slamming vest, made of canvas with plush inside but very Utilitarian look, nothing fancy, but its heavier than my other vests, but not dressy at all. Not sure how I feel about it, but if I am working in the shop or outside moving wood, then this is the one I would go for.

If you are looking for something a little more dressy to wear out, then this is not the vest for you.

Pros: Canvas material, Pockets on the front chest and nice pockets for your hands. It also have two inside pockets, one on the left inside with a Velcro strap to hold it closed, big enough for a full size phone or wallet, then on the right side another good size pocket with a zipper opening.

Cons: Nothing fancy, but a simple useful Vest.

Good quality

Great warmth and enough pockets to store your phone , keys and hands

I bought this vest for three main reasons:

1: It was a crew neck vest.

2: It had breast pockets without a flap.

3: It was thick and warm.

I’m an auto mechanic. I use a pen, pocket flashlight, and pocket screwdrivers all the time. I’d been looking for a vest with a breast pocket without a flap for years, but only if it had a crew neck because I like being snug in my clothes and nice and warm. This vest fit those three requirements, and looked great to boot. I bought the black version, and have been wearing it for two years. It’s not totally black, more of a dark bluish-gray, but that fits in great with my job’s uniform colors. It’s extremely tough, made from a heavyweight denim, and has a good thick liner and is extremely warm. I don’t work in really cold environments, but deep winter in southern California can get chilly, and this keeps a hot climate boy warm! Sometimes too warm, and I have to unzip it to cool off.

The only reason I removed one star is because of the inner pockets. I’m not sure if they fixed it on the current version of the vest, but mine has snaps and is open on one side. I keep my wallet in one of the inner pockets and I sometimes worry that it will fall out because the pockets are open. If the current version doesn’t have the open pockets then it’s the perfect vest.

As far as fit, it’s really true to size. I’m 5’8, 160 pounds, and a small is nice and snug on me. So measure your chest and compare it to size charts, because it’s going to be quite accurate.

The pictures for this vest are deceiving. It looks thinner and lighter than it is in real life.

I just got it today and tried it on over a t-shirt and then the two different jackets I plan to wear it with through our fast-approaching Wisconsin/Minnesota winter. It fits great and the construction seems top notch. It has the four pockets on the front outside, and also two inside pockets that aren’t mentioned, one of which has a zipper closure.

I’m 6 feet and 240 pounds right now with a lot of it in the shoulders and chest, and of course also some in the midsection. My chest measures about 53-54 inches, which according to the size chart says I should have ordered a 3XL, but I listened to other reviews that said this item mostly runs a bit large and found that to be true. I got the 2XL and like I said, it fits me well over a t-shirt alone, t-shirt and a thin zip hoodie, and t-shirt and a thicker insulated zip hoodie.

I was originally looking for a sherpa-lined vest, but thought more about it and went with this quilt-lined vest. The lining doesn’t bind against whatever you have under it and makes movement easier because the lining is slippery compared to sherpa.

Overall I’m very satisfied with my purchase. It does run a bit large, as other reviews have stated, and the 2XL works great for me at 6′ and 240 lbs, even with layering. Good construction, soft-but-durable canvas fabric that’s comfortable, and the insulation is more than it appears in the pictures, but not bulky. Good pockets, and comfortable to wear. It will serve me well at work this winter and well beyond. I’m thinking I’ll probably get a few winters out of this vest, wearing it most of the time I’m on the clock.

Sturdy zipper.
