Reflective vest

tailwindhome

I've been looking around for a product which

Is a vest/ gilet.

Zip up, not velcro

Is light weight.

Has the reflective qualities of the workman hi viz vest.

Has a back pocket for stuff

Is fitted and won't flap around

Is under £30

As much reflective as possible, as IPs photo illustrates the reflective is more important.

Non reflective area to be dark, or yellow





Any suggestions :?:

I've got one of them and for being seen it can't be beat

i'd recommend trying one on if you can though, mine's a bit baggy at the back which is quite annoying, it's also thicker than a workmans vest but fairly lightweight still

pockets are good, zip is sturdy and feels welll made

can be had for a tenner on Ebay

Check out Decathlon. Sheffield has bike specific yellow gillets with plenty of reflective spots for £20 at the moment.

Thanks for that. Ticks all the boxes for functionality but looks a bit daft.

The reflective stripes could be broader and the two tone colour is a awful

I may end up buying it though

They don't tick all your boxes, but genuine Hi Viz workwear is remarkable cheap compared to the bike specific stuff. It also has a much greater area of reflective banding. Almost worth getting a few and working with scissors, needle and thread? A couple of example sites are:

Although typically VAT and postage have to be added the prices are still cheap.
