Salzmann High Visibility Cycling Vest | Reflective Cycling Gilet | Made with 3M Scotchlite
R**.
Highly visible
Using for road cycling around town. It's perfect- highly visible with reflective tape on rear. This things practically glows. Rear pocket. Light and cool. I believe this is a unisex size so based on other reviews I ordered down and got a M. I wear a women's L tshirt, jacket etc. It is still very roomy and I could go down another size bit this will have room to go over a jacket in winter. The price point is excellent for the product. Quality seems good so far.

Just what I needed for safety on my bicycle. One niggle
Examined at unboxing, this is worth the price. High quality materials, and well designed. The vest form keeps it light weight and compact. The essential for bikers is the extra length in back that hangs over the butt of the rider (and incidentally below any back pack he may be wearing), facing upcoming traffic with bright surface and reflectivity.I have tried it on but not used it; the Medium is roomy, comfortable for me as a 5' 11" 185lb man.The one I received Sept2024 had a flipped zipper (left handed, female standard) that works fine for men who can adjust to the difference.

Size does matter
There's way too much confusion over how to properly size this vest. I'm a male 6' 2" and typically weigh about 185 (on a good day :-). I have a 42" chest and about a 34" waist. After reading all of the other reviews about sizing up when buying, I went with the XL, normally I would have taken the large. The XL was way too big. It was very wide in the shoulders (sticking straight out like a Sgt Peppers costume) and much too big in the waist (which might fit the typical American but not one who cycles frequently). It was not the form-fitting jacket a biker might prefer. I don't think their sizing chart was helpful either. My width from the seam of one sleeve at the shoulder to the seam of the other sleeve at the shoulder is about 17 inches (B on the sizing chart) putting me below a small. I'm worried exchanging the XL for an L might still be too large. I'm thinking a medium might be better. The material is nice (seems durable) but I'm worried on a hot day it won't breath well. But I love the reflective tape - it will do well when riding (or walking) at dawn or dusk. Why can't we just shop in stores like in the olden days?

This reflective jacket is my guardian angel in the dark
I love biking at night, and this reflective jacket truly feels like my guardian angel in the dark. The reflective material, made with 3M technology, provides the best visibility. Not only that, but the jacket also has small pockets for storing my phone and other essentials, which is incredibly convenient. The craftsmanship of this jacket is also excellent, ensuring both functionality and durability.

My anecdotal sizing story
I'm a 6' 2" (1.88m), 188 lb (85 kg) male with I guess a medium build. In most cycling gear, I'm an XL in club cut and an XXL in race cut. Despite seeing some reviews suggesting I "size up" I ordered the (US) XL.It was HUGE. I wasn't looking for a tight fit, since I plan to use it in winter when I have at least two other layers on. But this was XL in construction worker sizing.I ordered the L because nothing M has ever fit me. It was huge. I got smart and measured how much material would need to be taken up for it to fit, and figured out that M would probably do it.I ordered the M, and it was okay, just a little flappy. It's a boxy cut, not really what you'd want for a gilet, but just fine for the purposes. The material and construction seem high quality, and there's a ton of reflective stripes.The three sizes I tried seemed consistent in that they were each smaller than the previous. I can't say that the manufacturer hasn't changed their sizing scheme since some of these older reviews were posted. But in case it helps, that's my story.

Great Vest But Small Not Small enough
I thought the vest was great, decent material and design but I am a 5’1” women who weighs 120 and the unisex size small is much too big.

Highly visible, but not for riding in hot weather.
Well-made product with a sturdy zipper and deep single pocket in the rear. The bright fabric and reflective material make it highly visible. The front side is coated nylon, so while it stops the wind, it is not breathable. This is not an issue unless you're riding in really warm weather, The back is made from breathable fabric however.
