I've run with this vest for a season and have a few opinions on it. First, I personally don't like the side entry bit. Even though it seems kinda neat, I think it's clunky putting it over your head every time as opposed to a regular vest. One thing I HATE is that the two straps have very long runs w/out the "loops" so they get turned nearly every time I put it on. Those are my two beefs with the jacket. I also think it's pretty darn thick, but my previous jacket was a non-CGA Bare vest so obviously it's gonna be thicker than what I had before. Be careful with the sizing, too. The jackets seem to run huge and I had to go with the XS/S even though my previous 2 vests were M's.
