What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It's definitely waterproof and holds up well with the wind. It's not as breathable as the goretex clothes i have for sailing and hill-walking but it's much better than pre-goretex waterproofs. Very warm with just 2 light tops on underneath in sub zero... Read More
Sizing as stated, and generous for layering. The sleeves are quite long on me but i prefer this given i'll only be using the jacket in the winter months. Xl fits really well with room for more layers underneath.
Hi-viz is very well made, lightweight, comfortable and above all bright. Is very high vis so excellent in stopping me becoming a bonnet ornament. Good reflectivity when riding in dark. The reflective patches on the shoulders etc are highly effective.
The back pocket is roomy enough for the usual bits and pieces. Both pockets are zipped. Only gripe is that it only has one chest pocket for phone.
Cons
Material is a little flimsy compared to my previous cycle jackets. Not windproof,breathable or waterproof. Terrible quality of zipper.
Very disappointed with the quality of this jacket. Returned for full refund. This is very disappointing.
Highlights
Quality
Very pleased with the quality of this product
A super quality wellmade jacket that does more than just make you visible
I cycled in it again today and with the wind chill taken into account it was probably about 5
Price
Stays dry in heavy rain so definitely worth the price
Competitiveness
I wear mine with just a tshirt in these autumn nights
Better than the previous goretex i had by miles
Had a cheaper hardshell that had a tendency to retain all the moisture

Constructive criticism would be the zip on the pocket the zipper ran off the end of the track went back on ok and i found a little dab of superglue on the last few teeth just stopped it happening again

Not suitable for road cycling as it does not fold up to fit into a back pocket but would be great for anyone commuting in heavy rain

Only ride short distance for commute but no water penetration in the rain wind proof fits well especially for a fat lad with no silly tapering
