some thoughts: Klim looks really good and high quality, but it's outside the budget by more than 2x I think. probably should avoid
Those turtle back helite vests are extremely cool and gadgety, but that's about 4x my budget, lol! also not going to get close to that.
I'm interested in the Bohn gear if i can get a decent price on it somewhere in the next couple of months. it's certainly very low profile, and would fit under my warm gear really handily. my only concern is that it looks a bit loose, and that the protective plates might slide around a lot in an accident. I'm not basing that on anything but cursory observation though.
