Does anyone here wear a vest rather than a jacket? I know how everyone feels about gear and wearing the proper gear, but I just got back from Miami and riding with some guys down there. I switched back and forth between a jacket and a vest and the vest was so much more comfortable. I don’t really want to get into a pissing match about why jackets are better than vests, I’m just curious if anyone here is using a vest and if they like it.

I cant imagine why anyone wouldnt enjoy a vest more than a jacket until they went down.

OP, take a look at the A\* Bionic series if you are looking for CE certified stuff.
Never used a vest before as a mesh jacket is not so bad even when it is hot out around this region.

I couldn’t really find what I was looking for specifically, so I ended up ordering a protector and a vest to go over it, because I wanted something with pockets.
