Actually one of the main reasons for wearing the 'extenders' on vests is to make them more comfortable in the hotter summer months.
If you are wearing a leather vest (with MC back patch or whatever) you get very warm in hot weather if they are snapped closed. If you leave them open in the front they flap around in the wind.
The extenders allow them to open a few inches in the front, depending on the extender length, and this allows air to circulate inside. The vest is still held together so it doesn't flap around, but that air circulating between your body and the vest makes a world of difference.

But normally in the winter it's a 'down time' for working on bikes, so there aren't that many mandatory runs in which you would be required to wear a vest with patch/colors...
You are right though... On those times when it is cold out and you are riding the vest does have to fit over your leather jacket, sweater, long johns or whatever else you happen to be wearing....
All I can say is; "winter sucks"....

OK, that's just wrong. That pic just hurts. No bike should be tortured like that!
AS for the extenders, i use them for that exact same purpose, so that i can get them around my winter jacket. If i get a vest that fits over my winter getup, then i look goofy as hell when i just wear the vest alone inside! LOL
