## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the 2019 version of the vest?**
A: Yes

**Q: What’s up with the mesh square cutout on the front of the vest**
A: I think it’s for range finder or small binocs and the mesh prevents them from fogging up from body heat but I could be wrong. I keep range finder in mine (fanatic jacket).
