HiViz Awesomeness from REV'IT
My first experience with any type of HiViz vest was the REV'IT Air Athos which I still use. During the winter months the Athos works well in conjunction with my REV'IT Horizon jacket as a HiViz option. In the early parts of spring when the temper starts to rise I wanted something that would be more accommodating/easy to use with the chest vents on the Horizon jacket. The Athos vents extremely well but it can be annoying to adjust the vents when riding as the vest gets in the way.
The newer REV'IT Connector solves the accessibility problem I have with my Horizon jacket while still maintaining all of the HiViz awesomeness! The Connector vest is a simple design and allows you to add visibility to basically any jacket. I primarily use it for my Horizon in warmer months and will carry it over to my Dainese Shotgun once the temperature allows.
The connector vest main construction is mesh so any summer weight jacket will still vent without any obstruction. Elastic straps on the sides allow you to make adjustments for size and comfort. I have not had any problems with flapping at highway speed and it has never shifted while riding. I purchased a size MD and it fits well over my LG Horizon jacket and Size 50 Dainese Shotgun.
Overall, I am very pleased with this HiViz vest option from REV'IT. My girlfriend liked it so much that she purchased one for her REV'IT Airwave jacket.

Add Hi Viz to Any Jacket
The REV'IT Hi Viz Connector vest is a great way to add high visibility to your jacket / top.
My primary application is adding high visibility to my black Klim Latitude 840 jacket. My Klim is a size Medium. I am 5'8" and weight 153 lbs. As most of you know the Klim Latitude is a very stiff and heavy jacket. Prior to the REV'IT Hi Viz Connector, I was wearing a Icon Mil-Spec mesh vest in size Regular (small to medium). I found the Icon a bit too tight for winter riding; due to multiple layers under the Klim Latitude jacket. Furthermore, the Icon restricted acees to my Klim front pockets.
The REV'IT Connector provides access to your front pockets. No more zipping. The REV'IT Connector doesn't flap in the wind when riding. It fits over the jacet like it was part of the jacket. The REV'IT Connector provides plenty of ventilation. The back of the jacket has more hi viz fabric and reflector.
The new REV'IT jackets come with loops in the jacket to accomodate the optional REV'IT Connector. I had my tailor sew a couple of loops into my Klim Latitude jacket. The Connector vest is mid lenght. Do expect it to ride between lower chest and waist level. Great way of adding some high visibility and reflective to any darger gear without the bulk.

Great Visibility
I purchased this vest to improve conspicuity while riding. It's lightweight, allows great airflow, is very conspicuous, and easy to put on over riding clothes.
