Scorpion Vision Vest

These vests are made to fit over jackets when they are adjusted to their largest position. If you choose not to wear the vest over a jacket then you can make the mid-torso area slightly smaller with the side adjustment straps. Below, we are listing maximum and minimum mid-torso measurements (about half way between your chest and your waist). The cut of the vest will accommodate a wide range of chest sizes since the arm holes are cut very deep. You can use a tape around yourself while wearing a jacket and also without a jacket and make a size choice based upon the chart.

The Vision vest is a heavy duty visibility vest. There are large reflective patches on the front and back of the vest for increased nighttime visibility. There are side straps for torso adjustment along with a waist adjustment for fit customization. The good thing about the side adjustment design is that it offers a much wider range than others (like Alpinestars or Icon), but the only downside is that when the vest is adjusted to the smaller size range, there is a lot of extra strap hanging down which will have to be secured somehow (probably by tying it up some way).

June 2011 Update: Thanks to John for writing about an error I made in describing this product. I mention that the straps hang loose after tightening, but one of our customers points out that there is a feature for tucking in the excess strap, “When I received the vest, I noticed that on the backside of the jacket at the very bottom, there are two slits just behind the straps, which lead to an empty pocket on each side, which Scorpion obviously put there to store the extra length of the straps.” Please take the View Larger Pictures link above to see the picture of this feature, as well as the others we took. —Paul
