Proviz Men's Reflect 360 Cycling Jacket

The reflective qualities of this jacket for night riding should be in no doubt, but prospective buyers should be aware of a number of issues and should look elsewhere -- seams are poorly sealed / manufacturing quality perhaps erratic so although the fabric initially appears waterproof, the jacket leaks after a few uses - manufacturer not particularly interested in understanding whether there might be an issue (post warranty) - just suggested buying another jacket- cut / fit of the jacket is a bit weird - boxy, not at all 'sleek'; collar altogether the wrong shape- fabric pretty stiff- it's strangely hard to judge the distance of the 'ghostly' apparition of someone wearing this jacket- it's not at all high viz in daytime- if you ride with a backpack, is this the right jacket for you anyway, as you will be covering up a lot of the reflective materialWould not buy again. Downgraded to one star as outer surface is now de-laminating and leaks like a sieve despite little use. Seems as if the material has suffered some kind of accelerated deterioration while hanging in the cupboard.

This jacket is made entirely of reflective material. It is simply staggeringly reflective. By day it's a nondescript grey, but when it's hit by light, it shines very very brightly. It's unbelievably visible. And in headlights, it means that you are really seen.The negative comments are fair. The jacket's material isn't breathable at all. You do get very sweaty inside. But the underarm vents work very effectively - they really do make a big difference.There are two chest pockets and one big zipped pocket across the back. I like the fact the collar comes up, but, clearly, not for everyone. It's longer in the tail than at the front, and the velcro on the wrists lets you find a snug closing over the top of gloves to stop wind getting in.Overall, I like the jacket a lot. People are going to buy this because of the reflectivity, not to race in. And for commuting, and making sure that you can be seen by motorists, it does the job outstandingly well.
