I went out today for the first time fully loaded with this race vest. It fit extreamly well with no rubbing or chaffs. It had loads of pockets and I was able to store all that I needed to carry with still loads of room to spare. It's easy to put on and and you hardly notice that your wearing it. The pockets are situated in such positions that you can easily get at all the things you require at your finger tips. It's well designed and I can't wait to use it again next week. The water bottles fitted surpurbly in the race vest and they were easy to use.
