can you go on bike rides *cycling* with this vest? is it too bulky for bike riding?

I think you could, but I bet you would really regret it after a while, This thing fully loaded is pretty heavy and it is mostly supported on your shoulders which leave me in pain for hours after. I know I just need to get used it it more but its a choir. For running it is very hard since the stomach area is only supported by 2 straps and you would have to really tighten it down, maybe if you were peddling standing up it would be ok.

yes. if u want to really push yourself. i personally run with it. but going on a bike ride is about the same

Sure! It's a great vest,,,, it's adjustable so you can start lightweight,,,, and add weight as needed,,,,,I highly recommend this one,, if you're going to invest in a good quality weight vest,,

It is a pretty big pack. I usually do not wear anything when out riding, the only reason I got this pack is for patrol duties. I was surprised to see how roomie it is, you can store a lot of stuff in there. Downside is the added weight once it's full (not to mention the bladder is pretty big as well so it will add to that). So if you like riding light I would suggest getting something smaller. If you are looking into a lot of storage then this is a good choice. Considering your petite frame, I wouldn't recommend it (unless the main purpose would be a large haul capacity).

I tent to over protect my baby (he is my baby). I guess it depends on how good of a bike driver/rider you are. I believe this bag was not designed for a bike ride, if you were to crush, your pet would not have a lot of protection. It is great for the car or to roll him or her around at the mall. I love the bag but I would not take a chance with my little one. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. If you desire more comfort, I recommend a cycling short with a chamois pad with this saddle. IMO, best invention in cycling ever.

I think it would work great for paintball (I play paintball) because this vest is so adjustable you can ajust it for length and width so you can have it a bit tight if you want I use it for 3-gun competitions and I'm sprinting and jumping over things all the time during that. So I think it would work well for what you want.

As a 6' 1" 125 pound guy, it fits reasonably if I thighten all the straps all the way, but still a bit looser than I'd like. I'd imagine you'd find this vest too loose and floppy for your size, unless you plan on wearing a pretty heavy coat of some kind underneath..

I don't know how bulky your vest is but I can say this. The standard plate that came with my holster was pinching the crap out of me. I got this extension and it feels great. Doesn't pinch me and it put my duty weapon at a more efficient level for my draw. I would imagine it would be good with any type of vest. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend these for bike riding, I would recommend Harbinger wrist guards for that. And these typically run one size small; so I usually wear a small glove, but I wear a medium in these wrist guards (and they're snug). They are super durable though if you think your going to be falling off your bike lol :)

I'd love to be able to answer this for you, but the vest I ordered for my dog was too big, and I returned it. The pockets are large, however. Hope that helps...

I run with it,full sprint. It's not really made for it,the pocket weights ,two to be exact,came out while running.Im 5'7,125 lbs,sweat like champ with it on,which isnt totally bad . Mild jogging is applicable with the vest though.

I would say it is not ideal for a women. The vest does shift and bounce some, so it may not be comfortable on your chest. I would recommend a backpack style, or weighted belt.

I don't believe it would work for biking' I think it would it wrong on the seat. Although I have not tried it biking myself. I hope this helps' good luck.

I haven't tried to, but it should be fine. Note the back is longer than the front, so it will hang over the butt. Its elastic at the waist, so you can push it up away from the butt, assume you do not put anything in the pockets. It's designed for normal forward riding position while cycling. If you plan to use for both running and cycling, it would be fine. For just running, I would find a normal wind breaker.

I ride horseback in the winter and I have an ex-large vest that fits very nice over a heavy down jacket. It is just the thing for safety

Hi Dave. I think it would work well for bike commuting. Using the side straps and buckles you can make it very compacted. If you use the waist buckle it will hold it to your back.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.
