Just the right touch!
Light and windproof so when you start the ride with it it is easy to remove and stuff in your pocket. I did find the size large a bit on the roomy side but that works over the jersey. Overall a good addition.

A Great Take on One of the Best Apparel Essentials
This Garneau vest is a really great take on one of the best apparel essentials a cyclist can own. This particular vest has very nice features, such as a longer tail, zippered rear pocket, reflective accents and snug arm holes that keep it highly functional and very comfortable. This particular vest is the hi viz color, which adds a nice safety element to the vest as well. No longer interested in team kits with lots of advertising on them, this vest hits the target for a perfect recreational component.

Lightweight, and medium is a medium.
Unlike the big "C" brand bike clothes brand, this medium vest is actually medium. Fits nicely and weighs not much. Fair price, so I'm happy.

Handy lightweight vest
Well-made lightweight vest, easy to roll up for carrying. High visibility color on front and back. One oddity is that it has a left-hand zipper, such as on women's apparel.

Great fit. Sized correctly. Good zipper with proper ventilation.
I use the vest from fall through spring and sometimes in the summer on cool mornings. I live in CA so the vest is perfect for this area. The size (Large) is true to form. I am 511 175 lbs and will wear clothes underneath and it fits fine. Good zipper and large rear pocket. Very satisfied,

Very good for the price.
I bought this last Spring for those days when you need a little wind protection but not much insulation. I'm happy with it for that purpose. Love the fit, not loose not tight. Good for light layering. Love the high viz color. It's good to be seen. Paid about $30 for it which is a good price these days. The zipper has held up so far, so I would recommend.

Fits great and works. Did have some bleed of color
The vest fits great, does not flop in the wind and is very bright. Only down side is I did not pre wash the vest and some yellow color stained the straps of my bib shorts.

Perfect windbreaker
Makes you be seen better with its yellow color and keeps the cold out. Easy to take off and fold up and stow away when it warms up. Also like the deep pockets in the back.
