I haven't worn one since my club day's in the 80's and was just curious.

 

Home Depot employees wearvests all year

 

Sometimes at night to keep the chill off. But never during the day. Too hot here in Mississippi.

 

I never really cared to try one. Last year I put one on and and enjoyed not being beat up by the wind. I'm now a vest wearer.

 

yer soooo funny [8D]

 

I just started wearing a vest. Guess I'm older now and use it for the phone and other stuff I think I need to carry. I bought the ICON regulator stealth and Like like it. Has the removeable armour in the back and the sides are adjustable so it doesn't bind.

I dunno....vests just never appealed to me. I'd feel like a poser in one. To each his or her own, I guess.

 

During the summer the 'vest extenders' are worth their weight in gold.

They allow 3 or 4 inches of 'opening' in the front of the vest so the wind can circulate, but hold the vest in place so it doesn't 'flap around' in the wind.

I'm in a couple of different 'organizations', and wear leather vests with patches most of the time when out on a run or various function.

Even here in the lower midwest (100+ air temperatures in the summer are not uncommon) I wear vests over sleeveless t-shirts and when using the extenders air circulates just fine and heat hasnever been a problem.

 

full leather no matter what. I've worn it in 100+ degree weather - I won't ride without protection.

 

Keeps bug juice off the shirt...
