Richard Bazan: It will last me more than I want

Timmah: This is a decent enough work apron, especially for the price.

Note however that the canvas is coated on the backside with a thin layer of plastic(?). I presume this is why the apron is listed as waterproof, although it's also possible the coating is there to give stiffness to the canvas.

This coating became a drawback for me recently while wearing the apron in warmer weather. I found that the coating trapped sweat behind the apron and my clothing ended up uncomfortably damp and clammy there. I've not had the same problem with other aprons that didn't have a coating, so if you're thinking of using this in warmer weather you might want to look at aprons that breathe.

KW194: I wanted an apron similar to the one employees at Home Depot wear. This one is a little heavier, has more pockets, and has straps/buckles as opposed to cloth ties. It's not as heavy as some of the others on here, nor as stiff, which worked well for me.

It has a couple of issues. The pockets are pretty deep, so some tools require a bit of fishing (my paint-can opener comes to mind. While the nylon straps are more substantial than cloth ties, they're not heavy duty. The pockets are not very stiff, so if you clip a tool (like a tape measure), it folds in. It's secure, but a bit "unsightly."

I wouldn't call any of these a major problem, and given the price, they're easy to get used to.

Heather N: The adjustability is decent and I like the distribution of the pouches. The hammer loop works well for a claw hammer, but not so well for my smaller hammer. I do wish there were a big sling for my drill, but different pouch widths and depths work great for screwdrivers, pliers, retractable knife, level, and larger hardware or measuring tape in the top pocket. It has been great having all my tools with reach while working on something in the house, especially if it involves ladders. Before I would put a tool down during a project and spend 10 minutes looking for it when I needed it again. The only complaints I have are that it seems to be designed for someone 5'6" or taller (I'm 5'3") and the top strap connection to the pouch is too narrow and the pouch too low to fit around a female chest. The straps go in a straight line down from the shoulders and then the top pouch (on me) is on the underhang. I'll be modifying the front straps shorter so it fits more like overalls. Suggestion to the manufacturer: please add an adjustment to the front straps or make the over-shoulder pads slide on the straps to accommodate shorter people.

MackinDaddy: It would be nice to have some more specific sized pockets. Anything that is shorter, like a utility knife, gets lost in the smaller sized slots because they work better for screw drivers or chisels. The overall cost to benefit was ok though I did notice that Home Depot had a similarly priced apron with as many pockets that was softer. It was probably a more durable canvas, whereas this is a lower budget nylon/almost cordura style, which takes a bit of time to soften. Still trying to get used to what fits best in it while I'm in the shop or on site. Needed to switch to a mechanical pencil or one with a clip on it so it works for the #2 tool. Also, the picture on the packaging has an adjustable strap on one of the shoulders. The one included must be adjusted in back before you put it on.
