Loved it, But with a Few Caveats...

By Strider McCash April 22, 2011

I don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to contribute on this one. There are some great points about this vest- it's a beautiful bright green color, light as air, fits in your pocket when you get too warm, windproof, water-resistant, perfect for biking and/or anything outdoors. On the down side, this vest is not very fitted. I wear a 36D and have girl hips and it bunched a bit in the middle. Also, neither of side pockets have zippers or velcro, so you can't really keep anything in them. There is an oddly placed pocket on the left boob (sorry) that has a zipper, so I put my iPod in there. The thing that drives me nuts is that now I have one square boob and one round one. This is very unsightly. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but I feel like I can be outdoorsy and look cute at the same time. This vest makes it hard to accomplish that. There is no other place to keep a phone or iPod besides this pocket, and the rest of my biking clothes are sans pockets. All in all, one square boob is a small price to pay for a vest that is so pretty otherwise. Just take your iPod out of your pocket before entering the bar. :)
