Hi viz softshell?

Canny Jock

Thinking of getting this for winter:

I get pretty hot so just wear a base layer and a jacket through winter, and would rather breathable than fully waterproof and sweaty. I reckon this will keep most rain out for a 40min commute, and with a merino base I'll be warm anyway.

It's £107 so not cheap, buy I don't mind as long as it does me a good few years. Other thoughts are maybe a Gore Phantom, but its not as bright.

Thoughts please?

I have the gilet version of that to go over other stuff.. . it's bright and unlike most other hi-vis gear is meant to fit cyclists. . .

Like all other hi viz, it looks shocking. But it's not Altura Night Vision, so could be a lot worse.

NB I have Altura overshoes, but they don't count. You know what I mean . . . .

That's it, I like the fit compared to most. My Pearl Izumi does the job but flaps around a lot.

Don't be fooled by the dull looking photo, I have the gloves and they are anything but dull....
