Whether it can be worn over a man's insulated jacket--the vest would not have to close it is for walking. How good is the reflection at night?

It fits quite loosely, so in the larger size it should fit easily over a bulky jacket. It is very reflective (assuming presence of a decent light source, like car headlights.)

it really would depend on your size. i am 5'10 and 220lbs i got XL size. on me it looked like a kids size :( SOO i never even got to wear it at night

I am a big guy (220lbs) and I wear this over a sweat shirt. I wear mine early morning before the sun is up and I have not been hit by a car yet! :)

I love this vest, it is plenty big to go over a jacket, but it works better when it is secured in front. The reflectors on the Velcro part are more visible when fastened. The reflection is great for the small amount area of reflective material. Overall I would give it an 8 for visibility and a 10 for comfort.

It fits perfectly over my joe rocket layered jacket, the reflection is decent. If you want to be very visible please invest in bigger brighter vest. This covers half of the torso.

Yes, it will hold up great in a vest. I recently took it with a vest on a 33 mile hike in the Sierra Nevada's. Not a rip or tear, nothing. Worked like a charm.

Yes ma'am, I'm with guygo. I'd never leave this thang on at night. it does have one a them cut-off thangs on it but I'd never trust it overnight. Th best safety device is what's between my ears.

Without a doubt. now, I wear mine on a tactical belt. I wear a lightweight sweat shirt over it, right front, it is completely concealable especially wearing a lightweight jacket and it is most comfortable sitting in a car or truck.

I personally love this jacket. It is heavy but you can take the liner out very easily for the days its not too bad. The more you wear it the more comfortable it gets. The jacket is comfortable but heavy.

Since this jacket was designed for motorcycle riding, the leather is heavy. regardless of the weight, I wear my jacket for casual wear as well as riding. Additionally, the jacket is very warm with the liner installed.

No. It is a thin polyester (I think) vest. No warmth at all for winter. More of a summer fall thing. I got it just for the reflective properties.

I don't believe it is particularly 'tough' if you are asking if it would hold up to repeated abrasive wear. It has the same texture as a windbreaker. That, combined with the reflective interior material, makes it very effective though.

It wouldn't be the best, but it might work. Its not very packable. I have a Columbia Men's Glennaker Lake Rain Jacket for a windbreaker/light rain when I go fishing and think it would probably be better for you. Its VERY packable, actually has a pocket you can shove the whole jacket in to. Plus is has Omni-shield too.

I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.

As has been previously stated, it fits over the mirror and you use the device as a mirror. I have yet to have a problem with it. I see fine day or night.

It definitely worth a shot, but I can't say that she would be okay with wearing it all night long. That may take some getting used to for her. It's mainly for high stress moments, not long-wearing time. I would definitely recommend you put in a few of the Feilaway plug-ins around your place. Those + the jacket work wonders in my opintion & they're stupid cheap on here. Never buy them at the store. Hope that helps.

Yes it will reflect of street signs at night. It's fine for unlit paths but you can't see off to the sides very well as it is more of a spot type of light and don't plan on riding at a high speed because you'll outrun the light. I don't know what your budget is but if you can afford to spend $150 or more Bush & Mueller or cygolite are the best options in my opinion.

Yes, I have worn this at night. It takes a night or two to get used to but it really helps ! Good Luck

Absolutely not! It's blinding. You should only use it when there's enough light for you to see where you're walking.

Wearing it outside will not damage the glasses. It is not recommended to wear it while driving especially at night since it enhances the glare of street lights

It might get a little clunky when you put it in your pants pockets, plus you could get injured if they break. Maybe it would be better to put it in vacuum sealed plastic bags and then put it in one of those Crown Royal bags to keep out the light and conceal it from view.
