How to choose

your vest

1

What activity do you plan to

do? Would a loose or tight

style work best for you?

2

What kind of coverage do

you want? High neck, scoop

neck, racerback? A longer or

shorter length?

3

Serious exercisers may want

to consider a barely there,

super-lightweight feel.

4

Think about what you’ll

be wearing on the bottom

half, and if the two items will

work together.

5

Make sure it’s easy to put on

• fancy criss-crossed straps,
  for instance, may look great, but
  it could take you five minutes to
  Soft, lightweight feel get into the top!
