Would it look funny if I threw a sweater over it? Debating on which vest I should buy and was gravitating towards the "Slim Pro" version.

Yes - bulky for a sweater. I prefer to wear something form fitting (Under Armour/Nike Combat) underneath it but nothing over it. You could get away with an oversized sweatshirt.

You'd look huge with a sweater over it; in a weird way. Lol I often wear it from the car to the gym because it's awkward to carry it with all 50 lbs. I get some really weird looks. Some people look downright scared to death. I've tried the sweater or jacket but don't have anything big enough. While at the gym, I just rock it on the outside. Why do you want to put a sweater over it?

I don't think you would be really comfortable in that vest. While it is adjustable, my son who is thick through his shoulders and chest is only 5'5 and about 150lbs wears it and it fits him very well. I would think for a man of your size you may want to consider another option. Unfortunately, it will probably cost you considerably more money than this vest cost. I would recommend checking with Blackhawk! or LA Police Gear, both have a pretty extensive inventory and pretty good prices and the quality of the merchandise that I have purchased has been great. Good luck!

The best advice I can offer is to read all the comments re sizing from people who commented there. I followed their advice and mine fit perfectly. Now as to whether it is comfortable and works...my advice is to save your money. It is durable, solid and seems like it would work, but comfortable it is not!

I wouldn't say foolish but you'd get some looks depending on how and where you carried it. I would say you'd prob look like one of the guys off of Sons of Anarchy. I too was worried about it being too big but mine isn't for everyday carry. In my opinion if everyday carry is what you are after ( depending on your level of digression that is) I would look into the smaller version.

I have the Pro and you can see the apple logo. But I am not using it. Too cheaply made. I am staying with the one that looks a lot like this from the Apple Store even though it is slightly cracked. I am dropping this one of for one of the charities.

It's a little slimmer and the TPU is a little softer than the original Slim Armor. This is the better case, but so far there is no option to buy standalone frames for the Slim Armor S, so if you're looking to get a bunch of different colors, you may want to consider the original.

Yes you should. I always use it and wash it afterwards by hand, let it hand dry and its ready overnight. This will help maintain your biggest investment, the vest, in better conditions.

I'm 6'2", 240 (mostly in front). I have the 2XL. The side panel are very adjustable. From my settings, I could probably open it up 8+ inches more. One thing to note is that the vest is quite rigid. It stands off my shoulders, and I have the top tightened all the way. I probably should have got the XL.

I have the slim. It works to hold it but it is not extremely secure. I am trying to find a way to make it more secure.

Well that sounds like heaven use and while it is sturdy it will eventually wear our. But Andrew here are 2 positives for you: 1. It's not too expensive. 2. It's so quick and easy to use. I say go for it.

It would depend on your "style" of BPV. If it's a "undershirt" style, you'd be o.k. If it's like our military style with the ballistic plates, you'd be like a swollen tick! You can always go to a nearby sports store and try one on?

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped.

Slim is not good if you drop a lot. The slim is good for short drops and protects the edges and back from dings with the premise of keeping the case smaller. If your clumsy with the phone go for the tough armor. (I loved the slim armor btw)

I'm a female, 5'8" and 135-140 lbs. size 8/10. It took me awhile to get the vest small enough to fit me when I'm wearing only a light shirt. No, the vest doesn't slide around, but there's lots of extra strapping/webbing to deal with. I guess I could cut it off, and maybe I will at some point. Also, because I can't get it any smaller, I don't feel like it fits/supports as it should. Tha said, it's way more comfortable than carrying my big camera around my neck or over my shoulder on long hikes. But you'd think for something that costs this much, they'd offer it in small and large!

Not at all. There are two clamps on the front lines of the vest that tighten it down, and the reflective belt fits snug up against your body, so no bounce. Just order your size based on your measurements.
