Looking for something Hi-Viz to throw on for a night time road rides round unlit country lanes. Only real requirements is to not cost a fortune, possibly have a pocket and not be too constricting.....and maybe possibly be useable for running as well....but this is more of an afterthought than anything.

So far have come up with one of these from Altura for £15:

Any good?

aye, probably great, but I'd just go to any building supplies or safety wear place and get one that is basically the same for £2.50. If you order one on line, go small, these things are designed to be worn over big coats in winter and as such are quite baggy, and it is really annoying when they balloon out at the back going downhill!

Needs to go over jacket etc, UR. So that jersey isn't really suitable.

As Meehaja suggested, I have just ordered a medium vest off [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280687736531 ]eBay[/url] for £2.60. If it's shit, then it is only one less pint of beer 😉
