Looking for a lightweight vest

I'm trying to find a lightweight synthetic vest for on-location shooting. I've been looking at The Travel Vest from ScotteVest, but it seems like it will be too hot, especially in hot-ish weather.

I would like something that I could put a 55-250mm in a pocket, maybe a tablet, or a small camera, but lightweight enough that it's not like a tactical military vest. I.e., I really want it to disappear as much as possible.

I'm also looking for something that won't be too hot if I'm outside in the sun shooting in hot weather (90-100 degrees), since I might be outside filming this summer. I know that this it's unrealistic to expect that a vest would not add heat, but I want something that's not designed for heating. If at all possible, I'd like it to be synthetic because that would be the least hot. Does anyone have some good suggestions?
 
Domke photo vests are not the cheapest but I have used one for a few years now and I find it ideal. It is longer than military style vests.
