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.

This bag is built with super high quality components, durable fabric and outstanding design. I easily fit bike shoes, running shoes, bike helmet, and bike and run clothing for 4 days of running and riding in milder temps (45-65 degrees). The cells are excellent and keep everything organized, I generally double up the shorts and shirt in one cell, one cell for all bike socks, one for all run socks, wind breaker jackets and vests all in one cell.. you get the idea-maximize available storage space. Front pocket has my riding wallet with repair kit, silca eletricco, bike computer & taillight. A heavier riding jacket gets folded and sits on top of the cells.
The bag carries great as a duffle or as a single strap backpack/ sling. I'm really happy with the size, quality and functionality of this bag. 100/100
