Reviews & Ratings for Ultimate Direction Jurek FKT Vest — 4 reviews — Page 1

I haven't had a chance to use this yet because I had to exchange it and don't have the new one yet. Just gave it 3 stars rating since that was the midpoint. Will edit once I have used it.

The sizing is not close to the description. I have a 34" waist and ordered the medium since it said said it should fit up to a 41" waist. I was worrried when I ordered that it would be too big. However, I had to loosen the straps all the way in order to fasten it. That was wearing a thin t-shirt. I don't know if I would have been able to fasten it at all with a sweatshirt or jacket on.

My chest and waist aren't the same size, but I don't have a huge chest either. For reference, I used a tape measure and found that at the bottom of my rib cage I am 39". For a suit jacket I wear a 42". I would say for sizing you should pretend the sizing chart says "chest size" instead of "waist size". Or order the same size of t-shirt you would order and ignore the size chart. I'm thinking the large will be a perfect fit for me.

Nearly perfect... The only design wish is that the phone pocket not be so high on the shoulder. It is unusable for me since it bruises my shoulder. For others it's probably fine. Otherwise, it is an extremely well designed vest.

Best lower strap broke on a 4 mile test run. First time out. I soooo wanted to love this vest, but I had to return it and it was the last one my size! Went with the AK Mountain Vest and I'm pretty smitten so far :)
