This vest rocks. Best new product I've tried in a while. The majority of my rides these days (now that I have a baby) are quick and to the point (quality over quantity) about 1-1.5 hours. 6-10 miles, 1200-2000 feet in elevation. Plenty of places to flat. Which I have. Plenty of times. And returned home late. But I hate wearing a pack. Back or fanny. I just can't be bothered. I blame DH racing/riding Thankfully my bike has a water bottle holder, but it has to be a short one. So at least I've got water. But no flat kit. So this vest is perfect for another small water bottle for longer rides, CO2's (or pump), tire levers, patch kit and spare tube. Keeps things tight and things feel good and secure. I've grown to hate the feeling of a back pack but this feels really good.
It's not really made for you to access while on your bike. It's just too tight plus you have a shirt over it, and you are wearing gloves so you have no real sense of feel...it's possibro. But only if you're endurobro.
I dig it. I dig it for reals.
