Just Photographers’ Shooting Vest

£48/$59

By far the cheapest option here, this vest still features 12 pockets, including a selection of large front pockets capable of stashing lenses. Accessories will find a home in numerous smaller zippered pockets, and a large back compartment is suitable for a lightweight raincoat.

Extras include a removable identity card pouch and a small sun hood. This isn’t designed to keep the rain at bay though, and neither is the rest of the vest, with the fabric letting water soak through to your gear. The construction quality also reflects the price tag, and doesn’t feel as though it would stand up to frequent use. At least there’s some extra neck and shoulder padding to help ease strap strain, even if you don’t get a collar.
