Okay, I bought the vest today and rode with it a few hours later. Great vest, super light wieght and comfy. It doesn't quite tighten up as much as I would like, but that's only a problem when I'm floating in the water. You're right, Alex, the velcro does rub against my armpit, but not too bad. As for how it will improve my performance, well, I don't know if I rode any better today than before I got the vest, but it doesn't seem to get in my way at all, in contrast to my previous vest, because it is so light and thin. I guess I'll see in the next few weeks whether my riding ability improves or not, but so far it was worth the $120. Thanks for all of your guys' input.
