A very nice vest - give it a mesh back!
A very nice vest. Would be better if the front had a little more wind protection and the back was mesh, since cyclists hit cold air from the front, not the back, and a mesh back is so breathable. Fits true to size unlike the tiny vests Pearl Izumi makes. I got a large, but even medium would probably fit my 6' 175 lb frame.

Vest is much heavier than I expected, both in weight and density. I hoped it would be more packable but barely fits in my jersey pocket.
Based on your size chart, I chose XL though L is usually fine. It is a little too big.
I would be nice if the back was vented, but I knew it wasn't.
Having said that it will be better for much cooler days or even for xc skiing. The 4 rear pockets are very spacious perhaps the vest's best feature. I have not worn it yet so I may or may not upgrade my rating.

Great bike vest
Love the Barbados Cherry color- nice break from safety yellow. 4 pockets for all the essentials. Does fit a little small, so you might want to size up.
