Those incredibly reflective gilets are on sale at £40, not cheap but better than the eye-watering £150 !

Surely it will work just as well for the bike?

If you live somewhere with dark lanes or without streetlights they're very good

I got one ages ago when they also had this offer @ 40% i think...

its a funny type of material, for sure reflective,
the cut isnt great, a little baggy around the waist and not long on the back to make it an out and out cycling gillet,
as for breathability i didnt ride in it as i was sending it back, but its designed for runners, so i imagine it not to be too sweaty bag type.....

but hey, throw it over your winter gear for winter commute and no one will have an excuse they didnt see you.
i ordered medium which was a little baggy and i'm usually a medium,
tempted to order a small.....

Nice find, ordered one for me and the missus. Will see what the fit is like, she may be too small for the small.
