Sean :
  Why the vest and not a full shirt, such as the Gerbing jacket? What tipped
the scales in the Widder favor?

   Basically, I went with the vest to avoid the extra bulk of a jacket, 
figuring my arms really don't get cold anyway, and most of my jackets have 
fairly tight sleeves. I chose the Widder because I felt the quality of 
construction was vastly better- more of a cordura type fabric versus a 
light, smooth, thin nylon, better fit, etc.  Even the cord/ switch quality 
is better, a heavy coil cord and good looking switch..  Keep in mind, this 
is the Widder vest manufactured for BMW, it does have a "BMW motorcycles" 
logo on the chest.  I don't know if any of the specs differ for this 
product form the Widder labelled items.
   That and a discount from my dealer sealed the deal.........rode with it 
Sunday morning, 46 degrees and a stiff breeze, the vest was a real plus.
