I think I got the best price on that 3m USA windrunner.

Wow! How'd you get the 40% off?
 
Sale they were running apparently at that location only on all sale apparel. I almost wish I'd have picked up a few more but I don't want to tie up money on jackets.

Followup on durability of the material. I've been running in the original vapor flash on and off this past year and broke it out again this week now that the weather is finally getting colder again and the days are getting shorter. Unfortunately, I'm noticing some spotting on the jacket where the reflective material is missing. I'm not sure what the cause of the spotting is but it's pretty noticeable. It almost looks like there are extra vent holes when the jacket is fully reflected. I'm not sure if this is due to sweat or water but I have tossed it into the wash on a semi regular basis (pretty much after every run as it's drenched in sweat after every run thanks to total lack of breathability. Has anyone else had a similar problem? It's not going to stop me from running in the jacket mind you, just wondering if there is something i can do to minimize this happening further.

can't find a Large in any outlets so far.  Anyone have any good info on where to find one?  Thanks!
 
That vest would be better for running in a warmer climate. Even though the vapor flash jacket has zippered vents in the front and back, I still get soaked in sweat.

totally agree.  i went for a walk in it around 7 pm at night (no sun), and it was about 65 deg out?  shirt underneath was soaked through.  that thing is ridiculous warm.

Absolutely agree. Memory serves, the material is some sort of glass/synthetic hybrid and does not lend itself to breathability at all. I can't go running in the thing without being drenched in the thing. The vest is a great move but it would have been nice to have had the entire vest be reflective. I do wonder if the back is only half reflective to allow for ventilation...
 
Do happen to know where I could buy a Men's Nike Vapor Flash Jacket? In medium or small? I'm desperately looking for one.
 
@KXC7

I was told by a Nike rep today that they're out everywhere in all sizes. Your best luck would probably to wait for one on eBay but don't expect it to come cheap.

Closest thing to the Vapor Flash Jacket right now is the olympic windrunner.
 
Can anyone help me find one of those olympic jackets in a XL or XXL? Ive been looking for one and ebay doesnt even have mens sizes no more. 
 
I recently asked Nike Find about these and there seem to be no more going around. So, eBay would be your best bet if you really want one and don't mind paying a hefty price.
