We have had the Access ID vest for several years now through our program. And we have put it through the wringer! In the summers, I my work involves taking high school students to summer camps in the mountains. The camp we attend is notorious for red dirt that stains everything. But this vest has held up over several trips to camp, with minimal need for washing. It also holds just about everything we need for the day—I can fit a Quencher bowl, a small drool towel (golden retriever, here) in one side pocket, and a cooling towel for me in the other side pocket. In the “ID window,” I like to slide in a 2”x3” (business card sized) patch that reads DO NOT PET, or something of the like. All around, this is a sturdy vest, and I LOVE how lightweight it is, since we live in Central CA, with temps over 110 F in the summer. Definitely a great vest!
