JJB cheapie flourescent jackets

I've seen a couple of people wearing them, and as a moth-wallet the thought of a cheap 'n' cheerful appeals
, so I can look like EVERYONE ELSE on a bike in London (with the inevitable exception of the Dark Lord BentMikey
)
Anyhoo, are they any good? I see they're only a tenner now... 8)
BTW: smiley on here aren't that good...

im probably going to get one and then stitch new velcro into it so that it is tighter rather than baggy!

I
As it is rubbish in the rain I've been wearing my Altura Nevis jacket, that is grey with reflective stripes, so don't know how visable that is going to be on these dark nights (unfortunately not been cycling since before the clocks went back as I have chest infection). I was thinking of getting a JJB reflective gillet a size too big for me, to wear over my Altura jacket in the rain, but I think that might just make me look like a numpty.
So all in all the JJB jacket is good for under a tenner, unless it is raining. If it isn't raining and it's cold I put a warm jersey on underneath as it isn't much of a windstopper either. It can pack quite small to stick in your rucksack too.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up
To be fair in the drizzle it is okay (I suppose you could class it has showerproof), if it's heavy rain then it's rubbish. I tend to wear mine when it's not raining as I "feel" safer thinking that I am somewhat more visable to the traffic! [/quote]
