Yes I also have one of those Campagnolo vests. Likewise I have found it durable, when the retention straps eventually failed I found spares at my Campy dealer. I'm told the Shimano version however is not rebuildable, and when the smallest part fails, a whole new vest must be purchased. Back in the day though, Suntour made the best vest, less than half the price of Campy and donning/doffing of the Suntour vest was silky smooth in comparison with the more 'agricultural' Campy version.

http://ebay.com/<blah>

(a Campagnolo Orange Safety Vest, offered by Hilary Stone.) How many more items "not in the catalogue" will appear on ebay any day now ??

If this goes on, where can it possibly end? Do you suppose that some day Campagnolo will offer not only Jerseys, but perhaps even performance-enhancing Socks ??!!
