Ogio flak jacket and flight vest thoughts??

[Duddin]

Anyone ever use either one? I had a couple of buddies that wore them last year and say they are the shiz. I was just wondering if anyone here had any thoughts before I go buy one for the up and coming season. Seems like a really good idea, no pack sticking out and catching branches and all the weight is distributed rather than just on your back. Link in case someone doesnt know about them yet. http://ogio.com/products.php?category=35

Wow no thoughts at all huh? I guess I'll have to try one and give an update.

I don't know how it would work with a chest protector. Looks like an interesting idea, though with less storage than a backpack.

The few I have seen look to be big enough to fit over a tec vest. They do have less storage but I think the idea is kind of a minimalist approach. I think I would be able to fit all my stuff in one but I dont pack as big of pack as some.

get a smallish pack and a tekvest, hardly tell a pack is on when you're riding. Spreads the weight out real nice.
