[RBW] Re: Canvas vest recs?
Patrick thanks for the suggestions. Garth - yes, a full collar, something meant to be an outer layer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

That's what I thought, and I have never found one either or I'd own one. They all seem to be the same low cut colllar design that seems more fashion than function or my idea of purpose is far from theirs. Myself I wear 2 different nylon vests for riding and walking. Both have a partial mesh back for ventilation. TheĆ½ are by far my most versatile and oft worn garments all 4 seasons. Neither one is made anymore, but I searched real quick and Boure in Colorado makes their own still. Made of Supplex nylon, which is highly durable and not disintegrate. I don't know what kind of vest you had but any decent nylon fabric does not just disintegrate. They also have a vest lined with fleece if you need that but I find uninsulated ones by far more useful as you can layer under or over as you like. http://www.boure.com/jacketsvests.html To get accurate sizing I'd call or email them for the actual garment dimensions as size charts only refer to generalties of who they are intended to fit but speak none to the actual garment itself. I'm pretty sure Peal Izumi still makes wind vests too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
