50+ Fashion Show and Review

In honor of the most recent delivery of new 50+ apparel, here's a new thread to display/discuss your new threads. I will begin with my new 50+ wind vest. If you did not order one... well it's a shame. It's about the most versatile thing you can have besides a multi-tool.

My size XXL fits a little more snugly than some of my other vests but it should work just fine in most situations provided it isn't used over bulky clothing.

The 50+ logos on the shoulders are a very nice touch and the collar zips up nice and high to keep out the wind.
Front is windproof nylon stuff but backside is a mesh to vent the heat produced by my massive wattage.

Unlike some other vests, the zipper on the back is not a pocket, it's a pass through to allow access to to jersey pockets. I think I will like that because six pockets tends to lead to chaos when trying to reach back and find stuff. Three pockets ought to be enough.

I have always liked the placement of the "dulcius ex asperis" slogan on the collar but cannot find a "HTFU" imprint anywhere on the vest. Oh, well....

Zipper on the front does not open from the bottom.

It is gray and blustery here today so a test ride is in order.... more later. Feel free to post pics and reviews of your newly arrived 50+ clothing here.
