Pro Viz Sizing and Feedback

I am thinking of buying the 360+ Gillette and Gloves and as there does not seem to be a local stockist looks like mail order the only option.

Only trouble with clothing is sizing and I have seen some feedback on this so for the Gillete I was going for small, I am 64kg and 6ft so slimly built. Anyone have views or experience. I like my kit snug and not flapping about.

Gloves - I normally have large but they do L though to XXL, the important thing with gloves I have found is getting cover of your wrists as this keeps your blood warm and hence your fingers cooler, if I go for a long cuff the width across the knuckles is enormous.

I know I can send stuff back but its a bit of a fag as they don't cover postage like Wiggle.

Any advice appreciated.

    I'm normally an xl but mine was slightly to big also these are a be seen jacket !!! Mine was dreadful no ventaltion and on a 5 mile ride to work I was soaked from sweat I only had a base layer on underneath..... got rid of it asap out of 10 I'd give it 5 ... it's made well and zipped pockets are handy and looks good but that's about it also when you wash it put it in a pillow case as the reflective stuff marks easily
    When i die I just hope the wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it other wise someone will be getting a mega deal!!!

    In headlights they are amazing but in daylight they're just a dull grey colour. I'd not wear a road coloured top in the day. You need colour.

    Fair enough. All the reviews seem to say that the fit is generous.
    You can get the altura hi viz gilet to put over a nornal jacket to get the reflective benefits. 18 quid.
