BMW AIRVANTAGE WAIST COAT

[paddy]

Just bought a Airvantage waist coat. If you have not seen one in the flesh it's a goretex waist coat which you inflate or deflate. Inflated its very warm(Like a heavy Fleece) deflated its just like a thin goretex vest. Have to say it is Pricey at £175 but if you can find one in a sale give it a Try. Has the added of bonus of being adaptable off the Bike.

What possible use off the bike??... Life Jacket

I use mine for skiing and cycling, but not on the bike cos I've got a heated waistcoat. It's especially good for skiing, where you can go from cold to hot and back in a few minutes.
Only thing that worries me is that it deflates itself very quickly - about 10 minutes to go from turgid to limp !!!
Paddy, does yours go down this quickly or have I sprung a leak ?
