Great wind vest

I have the whole Element X line, and I reach for this piece most often. It's very versatile when the weather is just on the cusp of needing a jacket. I usually layer this over a a long sleeve shirt (CW-x makes some great ones) and stuff it into my hydration pack when it warms up. This has been the best system for long runs when you have to get up very early and it's cold and windy.

I'm not sure the description is quite accurate on this product. The mesh panels are on the lower back and sides, not the upper back.

One way the vest could be improved would be to have some sort of zipper pocket. For shorter runs when I don't have my pack, it'd be nice to have a place to store key, money, energy gels, etc.

Also, as with the jacket the fit is a tad tight across the hip if you are curvy. It's a boxy cut so I've benn able to get away with it.
