Great Deal

By Cindi cyclist from Norwich Ct on 12/03/2011

Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Windproof
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Road Biking, Running, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Was this a gift?:
No
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Use the vest on slightly cooler days. Provides just enough wind protection/warmth with a long sleeve jersey and the orange is a great color for visability. Great for running too. Very well made.

Nice Vest BUT

By Gretta's mom from Buffalo, ny on 01/24/2010

Pros:
Breathable, Dries Quickly, Dry weather item, Durable, Lightweight, Packable, Stylish
Cons:
Not Enough Pockets, Open back panel
Best Uses:
Dry weather only, Road Biking
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice vest but I was looking for one that would protect my low back from tire spray. I don't intentionally go out to ride in the rain but have been caught in downpours miles from anywhere. The open mesh panel back just doesn't do it for me.Nice vest that I would recommend for dry weather only!

great vest

By DCgirl from Washington,DC on 10/01/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Commuting, Road Racing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The other positive comments were right on! I got the small and it fits true to size. This is good when there is a chill in the air and you can roll it up and put in your back pocket when you warm up. I would say the only downside is one back pocket--but it is nice and protected.

Great Quality at a great price

By Go Play Outside from Seattle on 06/11/2009

Pros:
Dries Quickly, Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Commuting
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a great vest to wear over a bike jersey for my morning commute to work. It fits perfectly. It's not too short and it doesn't ride up. Lengthwise, the vest comes down to my hips in the front and a little longer in the back.

Super lightweight vest! I bought this to cycle on the road, mountain bike and scooter! It's a casual vest, and the color is great because it makes you be seen! Fit is just about right, I wear a size small and this is a small. True to size.

Not the Whisper fabric of past

By xarynt from Sonoma County on 05/25/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Dries Quickly, Durable
Cons:
Poor Fit
Best Uses:
Commuting
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have other Pearl Izumi Whisper products so I purchased this vest expecting a similarly sheer, light weight vest. This is closer to a zephyr vest that I already own (though in another color.) also, the fit is off, about half-size to large.
