Sure thing. I am not very good with the cellphone camera, but here goes. I would say the pockets are moisture resistant. The material is nylon type and there is some mesh behind the pockets. I have been in a couple of downpours and the pockets did get some moisture inside, but I just wiped down the gun. I have never had a sweat through problem. The vest is a little pricy at around $60 dollars, but I have run between 2500-3000 miles in this one and it has been washed a couple hundred times and still looks new. The reflective properties are the best I have ever seen. It does look a little dorky, but I haven't been cool since the 80's so it is not a big deal to me!flechero wrote:I had originally given up on carrying while running... but a recent incident with a big dog (well over 100 lbs) has me very anxious to readdress carrying while running. at one point I had thought of a vest but assumed they would be way too hot. I looked at the site you referenced and am curious which model you use. Any chance you'd be willing to snap a quick pic before your next run?karder wrote: The thing that was the biggest problem was HOW to carry. Fanny packs are not comfortable and bounce around. Typical jogging attire does not have proper pockets so especially in the summer time, carrying is a problem. I stumbled upon a reflective vest from a company http://www.ruseen.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it has been the answer to a number of problems. It it mesh and very highly reflective (I run at night a lot) and it has good pockets and holds its shape, so slipping a pistol into my right pocket and my keys/CHL in my left and the load balances nicely. I even clip a 511 ATAC flashlight to my shorts and I am ready to go for miles. It is big enough to go over heavier clothes for winter, but light and cool enough for 100 degree weather. Check it out, I have been using mine for about 3 years and now I always wear it, no exceptions.
Are the pockets water/sweat resistant?
Thanks!!
I have worn this in temperatures ranging from 17 to 105 and it does not retain heat or moisture. Truthfully, the biggest dangers to runners/cyclists/walkers is traffic, so to any folks who are out on the road, I would strongly recommend some sort of reflective gear even if you are not planning to carry. If you can do both, it's a big bonus!
