This vest has a terrific cut and lays over your chest like it was made for you, but more importantly, it has ten pockets! Pockets are layered over pockets over pockets. I was amazed what I could carry in these pockets that could not be detected because the bulge was smoothed out under layers. Exceptional value. I may be needing an additional cut soon because of a new group that I'll be riding with... this is the one I'm gonna buy again!
