Absolutely the best jacket for night time cycling.
Absolutely fantastic. Lights up like a street light! My husband finds that when cycling to and from work, in the dark, that drivers give him a far wider berth in this jacket as opposed to general hi vi. I think it is because it is so bright drivers are merely protecting their vision;-) This jacket is especially great for night cycling but not so effective during the day or twilight - general hi vi would be better at these times. However, here in N E Scotland we have a long winter and very long dark days so this is perfect.The fit is good and the length of the arms is generous too. The cuffs velcro tighter if need be and the back of the jacket dips down to cover your bum. Pockets are handy too.

Best bit of kit i have brought
This is simply the best bit of kit i have brought for road safety. In the dark as soon as any lights hit you, you glow like a beacon, no one can say they did not see you. Its hard wearing. The only draw back is there are not enough vents, you get very wet, and not from the rain. Sorry forgot to add, I came off my bike while wearing this, the jacket, and me took a significant skate along the road, no significant damage to the jacket, just a couple of small scratches.

Amazing visibility but lack of breathability is an issue in spring temperatures
I've been riding with this jacket for about a month now and am experiencing it as the weather is changing from cold to spring like. Starting with features and fit, it's hard to fault. The reflectivity is extraordinary, cars definitely give me a wide birth and there's no fear of being missed at night. In the day time it's a different story, you become the colour of london sky and personally I wear a brutally ugly green high visibility helmet for that reason. Fit is good, I am 6'2" with long arms and there are no issues. If I were to be picky I would say that the raised curve at the bottom of the front of the jacket is too accentuated to the point where you wouldn't want to wear this jacket once you climbed off the bike as it looks like you shrunk your coat in the wash. Also being picky again, the armpit ventilation zips need to be easier to grab a hold of, it's difficult without gloves and impossible with.Coming back to the change of seasons, I put the jacket on this morning over a work shirt and a thin hoody. The temperature was 11 C with some cloud cover. What this showed me was that the jacket is NOT breathable in the slightest - to be fair it doesn't claim to be - but be aware, you get very wet very quickly even with the vents wide open. That is why it's 60 quid and not 260. So Proviz, please think about releasing an Event or Gortex version - I would probably pay the difference

Shiny
It's reflective in a very odd way. When you're wearing it, looking down just looks grey, but people keep saying things like "woah, so shiny" and "I'm sure you know this, but you're jacket is trippy!". Drawing attention is basically the point of it, so I'd say good job, and no-one's run me over while cycling wearing it (yet). The back of the jacket is extended to protect against mud splatter whilst cycling which seems like a good idea (though I've never put it to the test since I have a mudguard). The arms are nice and long meaning if you forget your gloves they'll cover your hands a bit.Two things to be aware of:It's not very breathable. However, the unzippable under-arm vents do help a bit.The bottom of the front is slightly too short - doesn't cover a normal t-shirt underneath. It makes it look weird anytime except when cycling, but hey, that's what it's for, and everyone's too busy looking how shiny it is to notice anyway.

Does what it's suppose to do!
Has kept me dry and most importantly VISIBLE at night! during the day it does just look like a grey jacket but how much that changes at night, I noticed the effect of cycling with a jacket like this almost immediately, you can feel the cars behind you slow down or steer away from you. The only downside I found is that is not the breathable despite having zips under the arms for ventilation and it does make me sweat more than usual but I wouldn't dare go cycling at night without.

Good jacket, poor service, sizing large
Not especially bright in normal lighting, just looks light grey. Arguably, day glow yellows or oranges would be brighter and more obvious during the day.But where this jacket literally shines is in headlights. It is very retro-reflective, like road signs, and this covers the whole garment. Very effective for road safety at night.Quality appears reasonable if not spectacular. Not great at stopping cold wind, so you should wear something thermal under it. Zips and seams look ok but haven't tested thoroughly.I found sizing is generous, and this could be a problem if you are looking for a tight cycling jacket.This is where I need to lose a star. I returned one jacket as it really was too big, and ordered the size lower. Even that could have been smaller still if I wanted a snug fit.However, 3 weeks after returning I needed to chase the company to get a refund, which they did finally issue.

Bright jacket, albeit a little snug.
Wanted a cycling jacket for those early morning/ late evening cycle rides home. This jacket does the job perfectly. It is made from the silver material that normally is contained within HiVis jackets so is ultra reflective. It contains 2 smallish zipped pockets on the front, which is just about large enough for my Lg G3 smartphone. There is a large pocket on the back (as is common with cycle jackets) and a small inside pocket (which again would fit a reasonably sized smart phone). There is also zipped vents under the arms to increase air flow.Riding home in heavy rain yesterday the jacket kept me lovely and dry without much undue sweating.My only gripe - and hence one missed star - is the sizing. I am a large in all cycling jackets- bordering onto a medium. But this jacket fits very snugly. You certainly wouldnt be bale to layer up in the winter.All in all a good jacket, my only advice would be if you like a loser fit, between sizes (or maybe in denial about your increasing size) or want to layer up then order at least one size up.

Well made, very reflective, runs small
To be fair, I've not taken the jacket out for a ride in the rain yet, and that might influence my review, i.e. if it leaks, that's going to knock off a star or two.I first ordered a 'Small' according to the measurements, but it was too tight around my arms, so I returned it for a 'Medium'. The front zipper and main pocket zippers are rubberized - very nice ! - , but there are zippers beneath the arms you can open for more ventilation, and those don't have rubberization. Overall this Jacket feels comfortable, the back vent provides some airflow despite the seemingly non-breathable material.The reflexivity is quite astounding. I hope it hold up !

VISIBILIDAD
ME LA COMPRE POR LA VISIBILIDAD NOCTURNA COMO PROTECCION, Y ME SIGUE SIENDO MUY UTIL. SE ME VE PERFECTAMENTE AL REFLEJAR LAS LUCES. DESPUES DE VARIOS AÑOS DE USO, HA PERDIDO EN ZONAS DE ROZAMIENTO REFLECTANTE. LOS SELLADOS DE COSTURAS TRAS LOS LAVADOS SE HAN DESPRENDIDO. ES DE BUENA CALIDAD Y SIRVE DE PROTECCION EN INVIERNO Y MAÑANAS O ATARDECERES FRIOS.. PARA CLIMAS CALIDOS ES BASTANTE INADECUADA. MUY BUENA TERMINACION Y CUATRO BOLSILLOS CON CREMALLERA MENOS EL INTERNO.

Siempre a la vista
La chamarra es exepcional, la calidad del reflector es impresionante. Como bien lo dice son 360 grados de visibilidad.Ahora si no hay excusa para que los automovilistas digan que no te vieron. Sin embargo es algo caliente, no la recomiendo para un uso excesivo y extenuante pues al no tener tanta respiración te llega a sofocar y empiezas a sudar rápido.Pedi una talla S pero la siento un poco grande y el patrón es algo raro pues en el area de la "panza" es muy grande. En fin la uso para trayectos nocturnos y sin duda los automovilistas voltean para ver que es eso que refleja y se acerca.
