Amphipod, that looks a little constricting to me...
Voler jerseys - admittedly not as much reflective material as I'd like. There's a 1 cm reflective strip around each sleeve, and just above the whole length of the bottom hem in the back.
Amphipod - since it's fully adjustable and a little stretchy, you can set it up as tight or as loose as you like. It doesn't have to be tight for it to not flap in the wind. It does trap a little sweat, particularly under the waistband in back, but since it's pretty minimal to begin with I don't find that to be an issue. I wear it for both running and cycling and I barely know it's there.
ETA, adjustment range of the Xinglet: I'm 5'3" and 123#, with a fairly short and thick waist (it's those highly developed obliques y'know
). I could make the Xinglet about 4" tighter or 16" looser in the waist, and about 6" shorter or 7" longer in the shoulder straps. And the non-reflective areas of the straps are hi-viz yellow, although obviously there's not a lot of surface area there.
