I'm looking to buy a bounce vest but I'm looking for a little bit of advice before I go ahead and make a purchase.

If anybody has had any experience (both good and bad) with any, then please post in this thread.

Could anybody recommend a suitable size too? I usually wear XL Mens T-Shirts if that helps at all.

Thankyou in advance to anybody that helps me out :)

The DYE bounce vest is overpriced and doesnt do a fantastic job.

On the other hand, the Eclipse overload jersey works as advertised and also takes the sting out of being bunkered; something the DYE vest doesnt do.

In terms of comfort, the DYE one probably wins out - it's more breathable.

I'm a DYE fanboi at heart but in this particular case, i'd recommend the eclipse overload.

With regard to sizing, it's best to go one size up from what you normally wear. Bounce vests in general tend to be rather figure hugging. Try the eclipse sizing guide for further info:-

hope that helps in some way :)
