Great value high visibility vest
Been wearing it for my motorcycle practice since I’m a beginner. The neck line is padded and the sides can be tightened with the elastic strings so it won’t flap. There is one pocket in front of the left chest area. It’s light weight. For what it costs, it works great.

Does what it’s supposed to
I’d bought this vest to wear when I ride to work in the morning. It’s usually pretty dark out & anything to help me be seen by drivers is a good investment.The hi viz yellow definitely stands out, but get swallowed up quick in complete darkness. This is where the reflective strips shine (literally). My wife was able to see me two blocks away in the dark thanks to the reflectors. I’m confident that other drivers can see them too, and that’s the point!The vest construction is ok - not bad but not great - which I guess is acceptable at this price point. I’m not sure how long it will last, but time will tell.Sizing is a bit wonky. My gear is XL and I bought a 3X vest because that’s all that was available. I’m glad I did. It would have been too tight had I gone smaller.Fit itself isn’t bad. My only complaint is that the shoulders are a bit long and flap around while I’m riding. The rest of the vest fits well over my jacket and there are side laces to adjust the fit. I haven’t needed to mess with the laces.There aren’t many bells and whistles on the vest. Just a left hand breast pocket that can hold a cellphone. It offers no additional protection and doesn’t do much to block the wind, but then again I didn’t expect it to. Not sure if it’s waterproof or not - I haven’t been caught in the rain with it on. It does fold down pretty tight & doesn’t take up much space in my saddlebag.All in all, it’s a decent vest for the price and does what it’s designed to do. It fits over your gear & helps you be seen. We’ll see how well it holds up!

Great vest for MC
Nice vest to wear over my MC vest. Great visibility and build. Cuts out wind too. Much cheaper than other brands.

Has all the features wanted and fits a big man well
I hate to review a product before I've used it but the seller bugged me a couple times (and, admittedly, only a couple times) to review it and since there isn't much to a hi-viz vest I figured I'd do so. I don't plan to wear this much but I have access to a local military base and they sometimes require a vest, so you have to have one. But that's why I haven't used it yet.First of all, if you're wondering how it can fit such a broad range of sizes, it's because of the elastic bands at the sides. Fitted through eyelets, they truly do stretch enough to from XL to 4XL or whatever the sellers say. And because the fit is elastic, it's comfortable--and replaceable. The front ID pocket is internal and closes with a zipper, not a Velcro-attacked pocket like some I've seen, so it isn't going to go flying away with your ID some day as the hook & loop fastener wears out.I got the yellow-green color, and it's bright as anything I've seen. The additional V'shaped, silver-colored bits are on the front and back to reflect light and should make the vest even brighter. The collar is rolled and seems like it will be comfortable--though I think it will ride below my leather jacket's collar.I actually shopped around quite a bit to find a hi-viz vest that met my specs, and this one does. I wear a 4XL-58 jacket and the vest in the larger size fits fine, so I have no complaints. Will it last? Probably for my light use, although I can't say anything to that officially. Shipping was quick and problem free.Edited mid-July/'17: Well, I am wearing this more than I thought. I carry it in a saddlebag, though it folds up so small it will carry almost anywhere on any bike. My wife convinced me--along with all the idiots using their cell phones while driving four wheels--that anything I can do to make myself more visible can't hurt. So now I put it on anytime I ride after dusk. Takes no time at all, and is not all uncomfortable. Hasn't shown any wear, and folding it (or not) and tossing it in my saddlebag doesn't seems to be affecting it. I've been wearing it routinely since about the time I first posted this review. A friend of mine, who rides way more than I do, was about a block behind me one evening and stopped in at the same pipe and cigar shop I did. He came right up to me and asked me for the name of the vest I was wearing as he saw me a block away. What the heck, huh? Guess it works.

Reflective and stretches
I purchased this for my husband. It is a solid item well manufactured and has elastic bands on the side to expand a fit. It’s reflective and looks nice as well. Get this!!!

Why is Zipper on Wrong Side
Seems like it’s made well enough. Fit is fairly snug. But that’s what you want when riding a motorcycle. The thing that baffles me is the zipper is backwards from what I’m used to. Is it made for women? It’s ok though. I’ll still wear it.

Great for bicycles too
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I bought one of those $12 reflective vests for my bicycle. It was a struggle to put on and it was also not very comfortable. I found this one and decided to give it a try. It is perfect for my needs. It is easy to put on with the quality zipper. It has a mesh liner which helps make it more breathable. On each side their are adjustable elastic cords to tailor the fit. I am 190 pounds, 6' tall with an average build (34W jeans). I where it over a sweatshirt. I have a medium size and I have it adjusted as small as I can make it. It fits just right - snug without being restrictive. I am sure if I put it over a heavy jacket it would work as well. I would guess that the adjustment cords at their largest setting would add 4 or 5" to the girth. The front and back are made of non-porous polyester, so on very hot days I could see it getting a little warm. It is very well made and I think it will last for years. Worth twice the price.
