If its for base entry the HD one is nice, adjustable sides, reflective bar and shield on the back, doesnt flap around and has a convenient place on the front for a business card so the authorities can identify the body!

It is funny how base commanders read into the regulations. I know the Army regulation states that you need to wear bright upper garments during the day and reflective during times if limited visibility. But of course they go over board and make reflective the standard at all times. Retirement cannot come to quickly.... Then I get the "do not wear clothing that would make you stand out to a terrorist" infommercials on AFN. What the hell does the reflective vest make me look like? American Military!! The only other people wearing them here are the student riders who are going through their training and being followed by a Fahrschule vehicle!!!
To the OP..When I do wear one, I wear the HD orange vest and it does not flop around at all. The sides are adjustable and elastic.

I am not a fan of the vest so I stick with a PT belt across the body.

When I ride on post, this is what I usually do. I was recently reading the rules for post and when in uniform the belt or vest is manditory. When in civilian clothes it states bright colored top or vest in low light situations. I wear a Icon vest on post when its dark. I hate to say it but I don't really think the vest helps that much. If people can't see a 900 lb bike with lights I don't think they see the vest either.
