It is definitely lightweight. Needed for bicycle in the basement. So far, I am getting what I wanted. Makes you VERY visible and the price is 1/5th of what they cost at town. They are very comfortable and light to wear. Nice cushioning. The quality is, I guess, the same as they used to be. I also like the fact that it does not have bright annoying LEDs. Pros:The hardware seems beefy enough to support the alleged 50 pound max wait. AptX is a bonus and there is ample clarity.
