Great summer weight ventilated vest for most applications at Avery good price.
I use this vest for added visibility while riding my motorcycle in summer, both day and night. I have only had it for a few days, but visibility and reflection are quite good. Construction is of heavy mesh, which should hold up to highway speeds, at least for the short term, but at this price, replacing every couple of seasons if necessary due to wear and tear from basically hurricane force winds would not seem unreasonable. No reason should not last indefinitely in running or cycling applications. The mesh allows excellent ventilation even over vented leather jacket, and Velcro closures at either side allow size adjustment, tho' my XL vest (ordered to wear over a size L leather jacket) is closed about as tightly as possible to prevent blow up at highway speeds and still is not quite snug, tho' no blow up, probably because of the mesh.One drawback from a motorcyclist's standpoint is that, with the side closures, the vest must be donned over the head, which cannot be done with many DOT approved helmets, even bicycling helmets. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but something of which any buyer should be aware.

Great for Biking to Work!
I use this reflective vest and arm/leg bands to bike to work. With the upcoming fall / winter weather approaching in the Northeast, it's been getting darker both in the evening's and the morning. This vest keeps me safe and is very reflective! Without even glancing behind me, I can tell cars are seeing me from far away. I love how roomy the vest is, so, it will definitely fit over my coat come winter. The arm/leg bands have different velcro patch spaces so that you can adjust to your desired width. For now I've put them on my legs, but, you can easily change them up to your arms if you want. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is biking / walking / running in the dawn / dusk hours. This vest keeps you safe and is extremely affordable. It also packs away to nothing. The bag it comes with can be used for other things if you don't want to pack the vest away inside of it.

Be seen at night without getting hot.
This vest and the two Velcro bands you can use around your ankles or wrists is a nice product. It is light, very foldable so you can store it in small places and it isn't at all bulky. That being said, it is a bit difficult to put on because it goes over your head and then you have to reach around your back or side to get the side straps that Velcros to the front of the vest. Often I find the side straps twisting to where they look more like thin ropes than broad bands, and that reduces the reflective part around one's waist.Aside from that, the reflective parts of the vest are very reflective, very visible at night. I like the little pockets that they thought of putting into the vest. They let you carry a phone or a little flashlight with you -- a really nice touch.I'd recommend this product.

Vest is as described, very visible, fits well and lightweight
I was looking for a reflective top so that I could be very visible during my occasional evening bicycle rides. I was debating between a reflective jacket and a vest, but decided on the vest because it would allow me the flexibility to wear anything from a jacket to just a t-shirt underneath to be comfortable riding in various weather and conditions. I have yet to go on a ride with this vest yet, but its been easy to put on and take off, seems to fit well, seems very reflective and seems durable enough to serve its intended purpose. Its very flexible, lightweight and can easily be folded down to fit in its included mesh bag or stored in a pocket.I am male, 5'10", 130 lbs, slender build with a chest width of 12" and a circumference of 34" which means I didn't really match any of the rows in the sizing chart. I also knew that there would be rides where I would be wearing several layers underneath including a jacket and rides where I may just be in a t-shirt. That said, I figured sizes x-small, small, or medium could all potentially fit, but had no idea which might be the best fit. I finally took a guess and ordered a small. As I feel the included reference photos suggest, the small is just right. Hope this helps anyone who, like me, struggles to determine the best size to order.

HORSES! A Must Have for Equine Road Navigation
After 1,847 reviews I can't believe I am the first one to mention using this vest and reflectors for horseback riding. I made my purchase knowing my neighbor and I were going to do a night ride to view Christmas lights. We live in a fairly rural area which has no street lights and though the trail next to the road is minimally 8 to 10 feet away, I was riding a black bay which is invisible at night and wanted passerby's to at least know we were there. Approaching vehicles, both head on and behind us, did slow so there is zero doubt we were visible.As you can see from the photos the vest does reflect both front and back. The vest, small - I'm 5', 105 lbs, fit easily over multiple layers, a ski jacket, and slipped over my helmeted head. The zip pocket gave easy access for gloved hands to access phone. I was really impressed by the bands which were fastened easily to the back of my saddle and the bottom of my stirrups. After viewing the photos I feel the bands themselves are worth the price.I will be purchasing several more of these for family and friends in addition to my horse trailer and emergency trunk kit (car).
