Reflective Vigor Vest

Fits well, fabric seems like it would repel rain and would be a great in between long sleeves and jacket weather layer. However, I was looking for something brighter -the photos look like it's blaze orange/coral and it's not as bright as I thought it was and kind of a muted coral. Disappointed in the reflective strip being on the left which wouldn't be visible to cars and just a small strip down the back. Needs more reflection, and would love to see a brighter orange/safety yellow for foggy days on back roads.

Love the vest ! Great for rain and wind

Light weight, great fit. Nice reflective accents and great pockets.

Nice windproof vest! If it could fold into itself or have a back pocket it would be better but it does what it needs to do

I use this vest for 80% of my cooler New England runs. It's primarily a windbreaker for me but it's kept me dry before. Nice and light, a bit of reflection for all the cars trying to give me a gentle caress. I use this for both exercise and casual now. Washes well and air dry.

This is a good vest. The only concern I have is the zippers - they don't seem very smooth or durable, so I anticipate they could break before long like another reviewer mentioned. Otherwise, like the vest a lot. Wore it over a long sleeve shirt for a 40F lightly breezy run and it performed beautifully. I felt neither too hot nor too cold, I love the ivory for matching versatility and improved visibility in the dark. Fit was nice - I took a chance and went for a S, my pre-baby size. I'm still a little bigger than pre-pregnancy at 29w and 38h, 30in under bust, but the S fits fine. Close but not tight at all. Would be tough if busty, but since I'm done lactating and the girls have shriveled back to near nonexistence (lol) no issues there.

I bought this vest in black in January 2019. I really really loved this vest - it's the perfect lightweight addition I needed for those chillier morning runs. The reflective stripes are awesome too. However, the zipper broke way too soon, as I planned to use this vest for years to come -since I don't wear it very often, and especially with the price tag of it. I took it to a nearby alterations shop, but they wanted $49 to replace the zipper and that felt too steep after having paid about $100 for the vest. I just have a really hard time finding the perfect weight in a vest anywhere else!

I had been going back and forth on this vest for a year. It went on sale and my husband was like stop it just get the best you deserve it. I AM SO GLAD I DID! I wasn’t sure how much I would actually use it, but let me tell you - I have had it for a few weeks now and I’ve already made my money back in happiness. I’ve worn it at least twice a week this “spring”. This vest keeps me the perfect warmth in the god awful wind that is in my area, while providing breathability and really perfect mobility with the fit. I used it this morning on a 17mi run in light rain (50° temp) and wind, my core stayed warm and dry, and the vest just made me so happy. It really is the little things in life, like this awesome vest! 15/10 would recommend!

I got the vest in black and love it. For reference, I am 44C, 5'6, 240 lbs, size XXL top typically. I ordered a 2X & there is plenty of room to layer. I love the pockets, design and how light it is. I think Oiselle is great for getting into the extended sizing. I love their brand!

This is a perfect cold weather layer, down to 20-30 degrees, breathable with good protection from the elements. Since colder weather usually arrives with shorter, darker days, higher-visibility colors would make this vest top notch.

I had been eyeing this vest for a few seasons and I'm so happy I finally caved and purchased. I wish I had bought it sooner! It is a fantastic piece for cooler weather. It's just the right layering piece for cool days, providing a perfect amount of protection to keep my core warm and toasty. While not explicitly advertised as a waterproof, my phone stayed totally dry in the pocket when I was caught out in an unpredicted rain storm. I haven't had to use the arm band strap yet, since I've found adjusting the zipper works well to help me control my temp. Fun fact about the arm band: I find that when I slip my phone through it inside the pocket my phone doesn't bounce around while running.

Sizing: I'm 5'8" and about 155 and the large fits comfortably loosely on me, with plenty of room for layers underneath. A medium would fit my torso, but probably be just a little snug around my hips.

I just got this and really like it for layering during my PNW winter runs! I run at night and got the black; even with the reflective bits I kind of wish I had gotten a different color to be brighter when running at night.

Sizing info: I'm 5'7", ~175lbs, and ordered a L because I like my tops to be loose fitting (ex: I'm a size 8 in Oiselle bras but like my shirts loose, so I get 10s in most tops). The vest is maybe a bit large around the armpits for me but I don't mind the looser fit.

I love love love this vest for it's lightweight feel but yet it kept me warm and dry on long PNW rainy runs. Fit was great. I also really liked the portability of being able to fold it up if I got too hot. Just be forewarned, read the label and DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER. I accidentally did and it melted the zipper off. A very expensive mistake.

I recently made this purchase for the vest and SO HAPPY that I did! I got it to wear as an extra layer over long sleeves during those cooler mornings. So far it has just what I needed. I wear it over my Flyte long sleeves in 25-40 degrees; provides enough warmth and easy to take off and carry in your hand if you get too warm. I love the simple reflection elements so you can be seen in the dark; forest green is a 'beautiful color. I got a size small; I'm 120 lbs and 5' 8" fit is perfect--fitted but not tight. Will be a running staple for me this fall, winter, and spring.

I'm in love with this vest. It's so lightweight you almost forget you have it on, but it really helps cut down any wind or chill you might run into on your fall and winter runs (I live in the mid-atlantic region). I love how easy it is to fold it up into its pocket and carry with the strap if I get too hot, but honestly haven't had to do that much since it's pretty easy to regulate your temp by just unzipping the vest a bit.

I have this in black and ordered a second hoping it was more orange. It is red. For the price, not worth keeping unless I love it 100%. I agree with the other review that the reflective strip is on the wrong side for running against traffic. I like the thin material as it is just enough to keep my core warm and help with the light rain. I am 5'8" and curvy. The medium fit snug so I got the large to be able to layer under and it works well.

Reflective accents should reflect the body part closest to traffic. If on the front (and not universal print) should be on the right side of the body, not the left. (if on the back, the opposite)

I wore this pretty much every morning while training for a marathon through a New England winter and it was exactly what I needed. Warm tights, long sleeves, and this vest was my uniform for the 20 degree dark morning runs. Never too warm or too cold. I tend to get very warm once I get started, even when it's below freezing, so I can't usually wear a jacket (the exception this year was the -20 wind chill on one run). Originally bought a small but exchanged for XS so it would be more snug over a base layer. If you plan on wearing this over more than one layer it's true to size. Reflective touches are nice but I would have like a bit more since this is definitely a winter item for me and will nearly always be worn in the dark!

The perfect shell for rainy runs. Lightweight, stays in place, doesnt ride up at all because of a thin cord at the bottom. I forgot I was wearing it. No hood which is a bonus for me bc I hate flopping hoods. Runs a touch big. Im a large in almost all athletic tops, size 6-8 top, and bought a large which is loose but not baggy. Water resistant.... Used this in a downpour and I came out damp, but it could have been much worse. I thought $100 was initially pricey for a shell, but after using it Im very pleased. It will be a go to piece that I have been look for

I've run in this vest all winter and it's been perfect for Seattle weather... not too warm like a jacket might be, just perfect. It really proved itself at Boston this week however where it kept the wind off my core even tho I was soaked through. I think it played a big part in me hitting my A goal and requalifying for next year. Love it!
