Ive been wearing these at work and my manager was banging on my wall before I noticed that he walked in. This mic sounds really good and comes with a lot of useful goodies to make your use of it more convenient, as well as keeping your recordings sounding good. I used to get the cheap scuffs (what Dearfoams appears to call a "slide") at the Dollar Store until I found a pair of Dearfoams at another store. Now lets offset this with good news. Connecting is easy, sound is great, and it is fairly inexpensive! I have two big nearly fatal flaws with this vest. i would say go 1/2 size bigger not a whole size. Love this jacket. Everyone, I urge you to heed these words. heavy duty and reliable.
