The zip YKK waterproof and reflective fabric inserts inserted as graphics and along the edges of the tail and the back pockets perfected a head which proves excellent already at the table. Inside of life is a silicone band to keep it in place well head. The three rear pockets are comfortable and tight enough to carry around the need for a long output.
