Rated 5 out of 5 by PollyPrissyPants Excellent Vis-Vest
I've had mine for a long time (several years), and I love it. It's pretty durable and really convenient to throw on for early morning dog walks. In tops I'm between a small & medium, but I ordered the large/xl to be safe. It's big.
The short velcrow tabs might present a problem for someone who is really large around the middle.

Very happy with the Brooks NightLife Mesh Vest because now I feel much safer walking my dogs in the evening. The review about ordering a size up is correct, I bought a large because I wear it over my coat.

Rated 3 out of 5 by working2Bfit Great LLBean quality...sizing is really poor
The reviews I read cautioned that sizing was on the small side...but at 115 lbs. and 5'4" I thought I'd be OK with small/medium, as other reviews from larger people said it fit. It was sooo small! I am concerned that the exchange of large/extra large might not fit. The quality is great! I will be so disappointed if the vest doesn't fit!

I have to wear safety gear to walk my dog since I get home late from work, or walk him very early. This vest is EASY to put over your jacket, sweatshirt, whatever. This was my concern- I needed something easy to use. I like this vest very much and it was a bargain compared to specialty outdoor shops.

Vest is ok. I didn't like the velcro closures at the sides. I would have preferred a cord closure with a toggle fastener.

Nice and light but runs short.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KlassicMom Perfect for early morning or nighttime walks
I purchased this vest to use now that it gets dark earlier and I still need to get a walk in each day. Will also use when I ride my bike in the neighborhood! I really wish everyone would put this on their necessary list for safety!

It's not only sized way too small, especially for cold weather use over other clothing, but the mesh material is not as bright as it appears in the photo ? first because it's mesh rather than solid fabric and secondly because you won't be looking at a double layer of it like you are when you view the picture. Finally, the photo shows the silver reflective strips on the front; they cover a much smaller area on the back so don't use it for biking.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PerkyArizonaSeniorLady Product Good, Size Poor
The sun is getting up later and going down earlier, I wanted a reflective vest to wear when walking my dog in the dark along our streets that do not have sidewalks available. Overall quality of the vest is fine. It reflects light well to insure visibility for approaching drivers. HOWEVER, everyone who has written stating that the L/XL vest runs small is "spot on". It does get cold here in the winter. (At least we Arizonans think mid 20's to mid-30's is cold.) When I need to wear a heavy jacket I will need to work on "side extenders" for the Velcro connections in order to have it fit over the jacket. I would buy it again, but would not recommend it for anyone over 150-160 pounds. Would not recommend it for wearing over bulky winter clothing. This is a quality product with an inappropriate sizing guide.
