so many pockets!
this jacket is very versatile with so many pockets that I am not sure I have found them all yet! I lug around a lot of camera gear and the outside pockets are large enough for extra lenses. I was pleased to find that there are zipped pockets on the inside for valuables, money and passports, and also a large pocket on the inside of the jacket to fit my iPad! (as well as the pocket for my iPhone and iPod, etc....) The back of the jacket is easily adjustable at the waistline (not mentioned in the product description...) and that makes it very comfortable to wear. The sleeves zip on and off easily (I would compare the difficulty to my zip off hiking pants) and can easily be removed by a friend/companion while wearing the jacket and stuffed in a pocket. A very good purchase and a good value.

Disappointing Fit.
Disappointing! The jacket itself fits fine, however, the sleeves feel like they're a fit for a medium instead of the large ordered, so if I had a shirt on or a sweeter the sleeves would be so tight you wouldn't even be able to bend your arms without ripping it.Update 09/18/15Ok, I thought I'd give this a try again and get one that maybe cut different. To no avail, the large I ordered still was not large enough in the sleeves and the XL I also ordered was to large in the body but was not any different in the sleeves, in fact the sleeves were the exact same size in both jackets. Then there's the snaps, they are not spaced correctly. You can't fault the seller, it's a size issue with the Chinese manufacturer.

Great Product That Works For My Travel Needs
This coat, I call it a coat because it is longer than my Weekender Jacket, works great for me. If I wear a long sleeve shirt, this coat keeps me comfortable in temperatures as low as the high 30's. If I wear a short sleeve shirt, this coat keeps me comfortable in temperatures ranging from the high 40's to the high 60's. When it gets warmer, into the 70's, 80's and 90's, I wear one of my three Weekender vests so as to be able to carry more of what I choose to carry and can't comfortably carry in the pockets of light weight shorts. The Weekender people really do know how to use fabrics and designs to keep me comfortable in temperatures ranging from the high 30's to the high 90's. The pockets really are great, especially when traveling, especially by air.

Good Buy
I have worn the jacket on trips for the last two years. The jacket fits perfectly. Usually the large jackets and shirts I buy are an inch or two too long in the arms, but this fits well. Material and stitching are of good quality. It is easy to remove and re-attach the sleeves. The variety of pockets and their placement could be better thought out. It seems that some of the pockets are just placed here and there, more for show than for function. Many are just not usable. I recommend they add several more large inner pockets so I could stuff things in. I also recommend the designers look at the 511 Tactical series vest for pocket ideas.

Ready for a Safari or Other Travel with the Weekender Correspondent Trave Jacket.
My husband always wanted a long sleeve jacket for travel but I could only find a vest. And then the Weekender Correspondent Travel Jacket was featured and I ordered it. He was delighted with it and my husband is very hard to please. The size fit him perfectly...with the draw cord around the middle and at the bottom it provides a more snug fit...so it is adjustable depending on the fit required. Was impressed with the delivery as I had ordered it late and thought it would not arrive by his birthday, however, received it in 3 days and did not pay extra for the fast delivery. Additionally, my handbag, when we travel, contains an assortment of his items...this jacket with certainly lighten my load!

Good quality travel jacket/vest
Very good quality and comfortable. Lots of pockets, including inside for security. Very tight weave in the fabric. Have not tested water resistance yet but have had good experiences with similar materials. Looking forward to travelling with it this fall.

excellent utility jacket
This is my second one. The nice thing is they run big to size. They are positively worth every penny if you are an old fart like me that always needs more pockets.Love it

It would be nice to have a hood
Seems to be well-made. This is the 3d jacket of this type I have owned. I have some suggestions. It would be nice to have a hood, either snap-on or built into the collar. The sleeves should have a dedicated pocket -- if you are a packrat like me, the available pockets quickly fill up. The jacket should have more interior pockets. And, bellows on the pockets would be nice.These points add up to a reduction of one star for me. They may be more important for you. All in all, I would recommend it, subject to further evaluation after I have worn it more.
