Just as a bit more info, I meant to add that these vests are fully certified to EN471, class 2 standards and have double 5cm HiVis reflective banding. Also, the sizes I have quoted below are chest sizes in inches.
I have also corrected a typographic error in the original mockup pictures, whereby I had the address of the OSM website as a .com rather than a .org domain (thanks to Andy for picking up on this). The mockups and the graphic have been corrected accordingly.
