bpbtti Men's Hi-Viz Safety Running Cycling Vest - Windproof and Reflective

Pros: I like this vest, and I’m happy with the quality for being around $20. I like the pocket on the back. And the material seems breathable to me. Hi visibility is nice, I like not being run down by drivers who didn’t notice the guy running/biking. 👍👍Cons: The sizing chart is a mountain of lies. I wear a size large shirt when shopping slim-fit. I wear a size 44/46 chest size dress jacket. So instead of flipping a coin between medium and large, I looked at the sizing chart which said to go with XL for a chest size 42-44. I figured this would land me a slim fitting vest so I got XL... And I got a small tent. This thing has waaaay too much room and is too large overall. Very baggy and too long. See photos.I intend to return the XL and get a Medium. I still like the product, just not the sizing guide.Note: I stand 5’10” tall. 32-34 waist on most jeans. 200 lbs. 44 chest Jacket size.

1st of all --- this may keep you from being hit by a car. It's not really thick enough to wind-break. THE BEST PART is that darn thing is it's REALLY bright and the reflective striping is above-and-beyond. This is coming from a guy that nearly died the other day, from a woman in an SUV maybe doing 70 in a 35....and I was in a crosswalk... Anyways, the fit is not fitted, as shown, in the picture. I ordered a LG so I could layer in the winter. I'm roughly 5'-9" and muscular 41" chest. There's PLENTY of room to layer over ~2" of underwear. My only issue is that there are no side pockets. The back pocket is pretty darn large...but it's hard to reach back if you have short Irish American arms like mine.

This appears to be nice enough. But it's comically small. I ordered XXL, and the label says XXL. But it's maybe a normal American Large. I could barely get my arms into the arm holes, and it barely wrapped 3/4 of the way around me.

I can typically do a "M" t-shirt; cycling gear, I'll usually have to go "L", so I bought this sized "L", thinking that it'll be a little loose.Turns out, it's very snug. With the elasticized arm-holes, I'm a little worried about chafing there. (Haven't had "vest weather" yet.)Very light-weight, though. Will be interested to see how well it holds up to being yanked out of jersey pockets and then balled up again.

Super vest - fits well, good visibility with nice reflective areas and nice overall quality. We really love this - I will buy a second one. The black stripes on the vest are all highly reflective tape and are very visible. Sizing-wise, we bought an XS and it was for our almost 5' daughter and fits her comfortably - not sure how that would size in Men's. Really pleased with this vest.One note though - now that I look closely, though this is the order and generally the vest does look just like this, the one we received is from a different manufacturer - the brand name on it is Cona Sports and very similar, but not exactly the product shown. I do notice that there is no reflective stripe along the zipper on the one we got. However, like I said, we are pleased with the product, but strange that we didn't actually get the brand or product pictured exactly :)

It is what I expected, and thin nylon vest, to block wind only, without any insulation. It looked decent on initial inspection. I ordered it for trail running and long-distance endurance/ultra runs. I have a 42" chest, and ordered the XL, according to the sizing chart. Even with ordering a size larger than usual, it was still too tight across the chest. Even if it had fit, it has a fatal flaw. There is a soft, floppy 'draft flap' behind the zipper, which instantly gets snagged in the zipper slider as soon as you start to zip it up or down, even with using caution to avoid it. It's very difficult to get un-jammed, once it's gotten snagged. Once I finally got it fully zipped up without a jam, it instantly jammed when I tried to unzip it, leaving me stuck in the vest with no way to get out! I thought I might have to cut it off, but with a lot of time and patience, I eventually got the zipper down. They need to re-design this, either with a properly stiffened draft flap, or without one at all.

This jacket is great for the price. It fits like most other cycling apparel, I usually wear medium cycling jerseys and this vest fit me in a medium, with a little room underneath to layer under. It blocks the wind and is water resistant to. Seems to be decent quality, except the zipper. If you're used to using 1 hand for zipper actions, that won't work with this vest. It requires two hands and you have to make sure the wind flap doesn't get caught in the zipper either. Other than that, the vest is great. Also, it's extremely visible in the yellow/green color.

Great wind resistant over large for the sizing, vest. Zipper sucks but can be fixed. Like so many cycling vest and jackets they have a insulation flap behind the zipper that gets stuck trying to zip it up. What I guess none of them get is you are trying to zip down on the climb and back up at the top for the downhill. They last thing you need is to fight with the damn zipper while balancing or with one hand. Once you simply cut out the flap, the zipper works great. Jacket folds away easily in your back pocket. Sizing is really bad. Go at least one size smaller. I sent back a large and a medium. The small was almost too long but really is about perfect ! (I am 5'9" tall at 160 lbs with 71" reach measured across my arms.

Not so breathable as one would expect . However well made
