Reviewed by love the run girl from Princeton on Thursday, March 07, 2013Love the vest. Agreed what others say about the need for more room on top with those more favorably endowed. However, get a larger size and cinch the waste with the draw string tabs in the pockets to keep everything intact. Love the illumination, as I look like a neon light for the early morning drivers to see in the pre-dawn hours, rainy days, and also late nights on the road. I wish there was a back pocket, much like the saucony products, as makes keys and drivers license move less, but for this price you cannot beat the value. Recommend this for the perfect (I repeat PERFECT) weight for 32 degree running as long as no rain or strong winds. Loved it so much bought one for my running buddy too!

Reviewed by Oregonian99 from Oregon on Saturday, January 19, 2013Got this to be more visible while running. Doesn't get much brighter! I'm not generally a fan of running vests because I get too hot, but this is really light and breathable. I have a small upper body, and the XS fits me perfectly (no sliding around).

Reviewed by Walker from Seattle on Wednesday, December 19, 2012I was so disappointed because the vests are perfect EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL CUT OF THE BUST LINE. I have similar vests made by other companies in the same size XL; they all fit just fine. But this Brooks design is way too snug in the chest. I hated to return them, but the fabric was pulled taut at the zipper and under the arms. It would have been intolerable and probably caused chafing.

Reviewed by Linda from Shreveport, LA on Thursday, December 13, 2012I love this vest! It is perfect for cool weather running--keeps you warm without getting too hot. There are plenty of pockets to keep tissue, keys, gloves, etc. Wish the music pocket was large enough to handle an iPhone.

Reviewed by Gearing for marathon from Lakenheath, UK on Tuesday, December 11, 2012I wear this running, the arm holes allow for comfortable movement and the length is great, bottom rests just at top of hip/leg bend so no annoying rubbing. Nylon webbing stitched on interior zipper wind guard, keeps material from catching in zipper when adjusting while running. I find bouncing things get annoying, so the fact that the locking zipper doesn't bounce at my chin and when partially unzipped, the collar wasn't flapping-bouncing and hitting my cheek/chin/neck were much appreciated. Also the reflective flowers/decor are really reflective. (I have chosen items that claim reflective accents but when they arrive, I find they are not reflective, only silver) I generally wear it with a long sleeve, midweight base layer for running, I bought it for this fall and winter in England, and it has been very good so far for keeping my torso/core warm but not overheating. I have worn it for temps near 40 degrees F.

Reviewed by new runner from Richmond, VA on Monday, November 05, 2012This is a good quality product but runs very small in the chest area, and I am not THAT big. Also, the pocket is too small for my smart phone.
