Are the sides of this vest open or closed? I'm looking for one with fabric all the way around (no open sides).

It is fabric all the way around, but the sides are not filled with any flotation padding, so they can be compressed to create a tighter fit.

The sides are closed. However, there is a seam and a separate piece of foam in the front from in the back.

Closure is in front. And it doesn't "close" - you have to wrap it with the velcro - which fell off before I could even put it on. And I'm petite.

It opens at one end and zipper shuts. Its cloth and soft facing up. But over all material is air tight

The sides are not opened. It is a pocket. But is not super clear transparent. More like a frost.

yes it's got long straps on the sides that are adjustable. Also I let my buddy borrow this vest and hes 2xl.

I have had this since Dec. and have not had any problems. It is pretty open around the sides.

On mine, there were little easily overlooked pockets in three of the corners of the fabric body. You tuck the rod ends in there. The last corner has a pass through pocket that you velcro closed after insertion.

You can undo the Velcro And let the sides hang open. It stays open very well like that.

The back is closed. Only the front is open. I use the open portion to store papers, flash drives, camera, etc.

Two pockets on the sides. The pockets zip and also have a snap on a tab for added security and a nice design detail. It's a shapely, good quality, snazzy looking vest. It's cut to hang a bit lower in the back for extra coverage when you're seated.

Yes, it is the same fabric as the sides. This has been a wonderful toy for my granddaughter. It is still like new although it's had lots of happy play. One of the best toys that their playroom has had. Her brother has the Knight one so they have lots of interactive play.

it is soft white quilted fabric on one side-that is the side I face up- and a sturdier pink fabric on the other. The waterproofing material must be in the middle-if something is spilled on the quilted side, it truly does not leak through to the pink side.

If you don't have hook on one strap side, and loop on the other, then it is indeed missing something. Look at the picture of the vest. If yours doesn't resemble it, then return it. BTW- I found the SafetyPup people to be very interested in the satisfaction of their customers. I suspect they will make good ASAP on any issues you may have.

No it's pretty much open it works great but under heavy winds I dunno. I've noticed the nature of the fabric really holds stuff in place well... kinda like herb velcro.

It doesn't stay closed on the "open" side...no. I put it into a carrier when I take it anywhere, so it doesn't matter to me. I adore this unit.

Yes...the flaps on the sides are held at the bottom by Velcro. As you can see in the pic the front and back are zipped and the sides are open
