This review is from: Occidental Leather 2535 Builders' Vest (Misc.)

The Occidental Leather 2535 Builder's Vest is pretty comfortable; way better for those who find the common tool belt painful on the lower back to wear. There are a few problems but I don't mind them, too much. Just like anything else, adjustment to routines are required. The accessory pouch that clips on (for the tape measure or whatever) is wide open, leaving your tape to get pushed out when you crouch. The hammer holder located on the back is positioned so that when in a crouched position the hammer has a tendency to flip around. Anything not secured or tightly fits in the vest can fall out when bent over (this is dangerous to workers when working on rafters or in high places). Again, be selective about placement of tools to eliminate this danger and inconvenience. If adjusted improperly, the back of the vest will dig into the back of your neck after wearing for long periods. And lastly, you will sweat in this vest in warm weather.

Not enough bags with this model, January 13, 2009

Gary R. Rowland - See all my reviews

This review is from: Occidental Leather 2535 Builders' Vest (Misc.)

Since I purchased this item, I've found it didn't have enough bags, 1 small nail bag, I've also found that other models have more and larger bags, at or below the price I payed, but can't find out how to order or buy them. They seem to come as a package without options.

The vest does what it's designed to do, just wish I'd have seen the other options that now are available. I need 2 larger bags to hold tools that don't fit in the built in pockets, 5 in 1, screwdriver, side cutters, pliers, etc. There are plenty of loops available, but no bags.

The 2575 is what I really needed and it's $27.00 cheaper then my 2535 was!
