When I first saw this vest what caught my attention was the detail around the loops and the pockets. My brain automatically categorized it as a well made vest then I dug a bit deeper and looked at the back of it.
Upon seeing this I was completely taken back (no pun intended). I've seen older vest with backs this high but more recently the back of the common vest would hit right at the waist. I think this high back vest is a great idea because of the comfort that this high back will create, besides I spend most of my time adjusting the back of the vest and pulling at the bottom of it anyway.
