Super light weight; able to roll and stick in cycling shirt pocket (not space hog). While riding early AM and high altitude, the vest kept me at an ideal temperature. Just what I was aiming for.
Sung fitting vest I wear over my base layer for cool weather riding. Keeps the wind out.
I wanted to love this but the fabric is very light/thin. Definitely a roady vest since it's very snug. As a mountain biker, I like things a little less body hugging. No rear pocket is also a poor design.
Very lightweight - easy to carry - just the thing for a cool descent.
