Ultimate Direction says:
Featherlight yet feature rich, the updated Race Vest brings a dynamic fit, allowing freedom of movement for picking up the pace. Stretch side panels wrap around the torso for a secure fit and dynamic bungee sternum straps to allow for chest expansion without the bounce. Protective air mesh panels behind the front bottle and phone pockets prevent chafing over many miles. With a full-size range, this unisex vest comfortably accommodates most sizes.
