Mountain Hardwear Transition Vest - Windstopper® (For Men)

If you have a triangular torso this is probably a great jacket for you. I tried it on, and the bottom of it was fins around my waist, but right under the arm holes it was waay too wide for me (I'm tall and skinny). It was like I had little wings below the arm holes that stuck out. I imagine if I ran with it, my upper arms would brush the vest wiht every pump.

Very form fitting - can be the windproof core-warming layer under any garment... or wear over a base layer to serve as a wind breaking highly visible top layer when biking.

too [*] small

i will love this for cross country skiing and biking

Great for running / biking in cool weather; although sized correctly, it is form fitting; Breathes well, however still provides impressive wind resistance.

This is a lightweight windproof vest best for active outdoor activities such as cycling or running. It's not very warm, but it does a great job of blocking the wind. The reflective accents (along the the bright colors) add a little piece of mind on early morning jaunts. There is a small zippered pocket on the right side of the back that easily swallows an ID, some gels, gloves, and a beanie with room left for a croissant from the coffee shop on the way home. That said, the pocket zipper likes to snag and is impossible to operate without stopping.

I use this vest for biking and nordic skiing and love it. The back pockets hold my MP3 and keys and the vest is super lightweight and keeps me warm down to about 20 degrees (over a good top). The sizing is normal but it is form fit so if you want a loose top order a size larger.

Well made. Material feels good to the hand. However the design of the vest is very flamboyant. Might as well graft on a couple blinking neon signs. Way too ostentatious without reason. Wife had a severe reaction to the design and she wears Bogner. Returned the vest – both blue & yellow.
