One of the items in the parcel was the Cloudveil Run Don’t Walk Vest. I’m not really a vest-kinda-guy and if I’m honest, I probably wouldn’t have bought the “Run Don’t Walk” had I seen it in a store. However, one early evening run later and I was hooked!

The Cloudveil vest is a new addition to their popular Run Don’t Walk line, and is a perfect warm layer for all kinds of aerobic exercises. At just seven ounces in weight, you hardly notice you’re wearing an extra layer, but the level of insulation provided by the front and back Flexible Polartec® fabric is amazing.

The vest features a full front zipper, stretchy side panels, a very useful chest pocket — perfect to carry ID, a few dollar bills, cellphone or iPod — and is available in black or a cool Reservoir blue color. The Run Don’t Walk Vest is easily my favorite item of winter apparel and right now, while the east coast temperature and winds are a little chilly, I rarely leave home without it.

Note: I received this item of apparel free of charge, but will receive no other form of compensation for writing this review.

Let me know if you have any other product ideas and I’ll see if I can add them through the Cafepress Marketplace.
