Re: [RC] safety vests for riders? - Lysane CreeI have been using a vest now for about 2.5 years. I've tried the Tipperary and the Airowear. I do like the Airowear because it is a little lighter and it zippers up. The Tipperary has velcro, so sometimes with a thicker shirt, the velcro didn't want to stayed closed. Each company will have its sizing chart so you have to go with their chart, they'll tell you what to measure. You want it to fit closely - it is better to wear it over a thin shirt and then put a big sweater or jacket over it than to get it large enough to fit over a sweater and then it is too big the rest of the time. Just like a helmet you don't want it to be loose and flopping around, you want it to be close fitted. I don't find that I am too hot, but in the summer I wear short sleeve or sleeveless fitted shirts that are made for wicking away sweat. The vests are made to be breathable, but I find I sweat a bit under the vest even when I don't feel hot. A cotton shirt
is just icky once you take the vest off and it is all damp. In the winter, it adds a little bit of warmth under your jacket which is nice. I find that it is just like a helmet, once you get used to having it on, you forget about it. Lysane Jennifer Adam <jatatahoe1@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello ridecamp-
