Yep, up to $315 now with 5 days left to bid. Oh well, worth a shot. I hate and am surprised they discontinued the M2. Not sure if it just wasn't logistically feasible with their output of saddle equipment or what, but it is a great vest. I'll press on with the hydration bladder.
As an aside, I do believe if you combined the yoke/horizontal front pocket structure of the M2 with the rear bag/seat of the new Chene vest, it might be the perfect vest. I would've already jumped on the Chene vest but prefer straps that are compatible with wearing a bino harness.
