I've been using last years model of the Chase Bike Vest 50. That is the first vest style I've every tried and I loved it. I really like how it has 2 zipper pockets up front so I don't need to take it off to get to stuff. I keep my phone in one and keys in the other. I got this model because its getting hotter and I need more than 50oz. This model doesn't have a zipper for the smaller pocket where I keep my keys and the pocket material is a cheaper see through mesh material. While I don't think my keys would fall out, I don't place them there because I don't want to take a chance so now I have to take it off for my keys. I also wish they had better color options. In AZ, black isn't ideal but I really don't like the grey. I wish it came in the Shadow Grey/Iceland Poppy the old one in - love that color combo. With the temperature getting even hotter, I won't have to deal with this pack much longer and I'll be switching to a 100oz pack. Overall, still not a bad product but only 3 stars because of what I mentioned and the price.
