Bugs in the machine.
The photo of the product shows a black vest with white slashes on each side, visible from the front. The actual product does not have any white on it.

I really wanted a vest that didn't breathe in back, it serves well when off the bike & you need to stay warm in the wind. Love the bright colors too. My only beef with Gore is that, with their high prices and claim of excellence all around, why the parsimonious 1-year guarantee?! We deserve better.
dumb design from people who dont ride
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
the back is not breathable. the front zipper doesnt have a garage at the top...why not? so it can catch my beard and pull it?
i dont need a Napoleon pocket, esp not one thats zippered!! i do need three year paockets of the sort that has evolved for cycling over 159 years!!
and the stupid reflective bits? pleeeze. they have zero science to back them up. get good lights, a sam browne belt, etc., if your worried about being seen at dark.
gore, as usual, and in this reagrd they must be talking with pearl izumi, have added a bunch of features no one needs or asked for only to be able to raise the price...which is ludicrous for a vest.
and, lastly...what is it with the clown color schemes and stripes for cycling wear? i ride at least 12,000 miles a year in all weather, and have done so for 30 years (this year my 30 year anniversary). cycling clothing has never been functionally stupider, more ridiculously overpriced, all the while making 99 percent of the riders wearing it look like imbeciles.
Maybe less riding, more Prozac there Mr. Angry.
30 years riding and you still can't smile?
