Toot tight on me

3 months ago

I have, and love, the UD Ultra Vest 6.0 in size Medium. I wanted something simpler for shorter runs and thought I'd give the Race Vest 6L a try. I first ordered a Medium and it fit like a size Small, and was very tight around the chest and underarms, so I then ordered a Large to give a try. It was also too tight in the chest and underarms, and I could see how it would chaffe easily after just a few miles. I'm returning both and keeping my original.
