Good InVESTment??
It started near the beginning of our time in Romania. I casually pointed out a fashion trend among older Romanian men.... The vest. I had a student last year who wore a vest everyday. His daughter claims that he sleeps in the vest. I believe it. She snuck one of her father's vests to school the other day so we could all have our pictures taken in it.
After showing this trend to Dana, we started pointed out vest-wearing men when we saw them. It is sort of an easy version of Where's Waldo. There are hundreds of styles here. We have seen vests in camo, pink, grey, blue, yellow, mauve, green, and so on. They come in various lengths and with differing numbers of pockets. While most vests are worn by older men, we have also seen them on women and younger men. We have also seen "Trainer" vests on little kids. I guess there must be a good reason they wear them. We sure have fun looking for them and commenting on their quality and style. Maybe I should consider getting one.

Neat. I think you should get a couple of them. Gotta be a lot of uses for all those pockets. Could be very practical on the trail. Khaki or tan or deep green would be dressy. A brighter color would add a safety factor if you are out in the wilderness. [How's the wrap-up going?]
A subtle Khaki or tan, or maybe a light green would be nice for all your travel needs. It's handy for camera gear, sunglasses, your wallet--the possibilities are endless.
There is a superb "safety vest" frequently worn by road workers and the lawn crews here--A neon yellow or fluorescent orange could be your color!
Despite all your protesting, I am certain that you, too, will one day be "The Best Vest" Champion of Juneau :)
