I find it allows me to push harder in training sessions, particularly as the winter has involved a lot of strength and speed building work particularly as all of my training last year was slow and steady and had taken away some of my top end speed.
and I figure when I'm not racing it doesn't bother me if I'm carrying a bit of extra weight, its like training wheels...
When I first considered trying it last winter I did a bit of reading on the subject and typically found a mixed bag of it will help/it wont help/it'll kill you/its the best thing ever.
The study below is the one I liked best:
