They say you can't put a price on safety, but Apidura apparently has. That said, I love this vest. As an early morning rider (5:45am, year round), I ride in the dark a lot. I'm also a randonneur, so I'm on a variety of roads at all hours. For my riding, I need reflectivity and high visibility. This vest has both while being virtually weightless- I forget that I have it on most of the time. The front buckles are spaced well enough that I can unzip my gilet or jacket as needed. Since this vest meets US and Euro reflectivity standards, I can use it on sanctioned RUSA and ACP events. It's well made, doesn't flap at speed, and is nicely ventilated (although I haven't ridden in mid-summer humidity with it yet). Looking forward to wearing it on the upcoming RUSA fl'che.
