For crying out loud it has the words “SOLAR VEST” sewn in the back of it. It might as well say “KICK ME” instead. The $140 price tag doesn’t even justify it as an impulse buy.

Solar Vest: Ich Don’t Think So
The UberReview —
... I am not sure if it is the prominent uber-reflective solar panels, or the fact that it actually has the words “Solar Vest” emblazoned on the back, or maybe it is a combination of the two plus the hideous color.
