a hi viz solution

the cats pajamas

anyone have an idea what size i should get? (review says it's medium is to go over medium jacket, is icon normal for jacket sizes?)
it's meant to go over a normal motorcycle jacket, im 6"3 and on the skinny size of average.

any thoughts?

That's the problem with buying clothes online - sizes. Either you buy local or take a chance. But if it's for over a jacket the size doesn't have to be perfect

It doesn't look like there is a lot of reflective strips on it. It looks to be just like a yellow waterproof jacket.

Are you going to a RAVE or wha!!!!

Heatons sports department have the dunlop hi viz jackets for very cheap at the moment...like the corporation jackets. Much better option then that TBH......

All the icon logos are are reflective, so that should be enough (I hope).
My life is one big rave!
I have a great big yellow jacket over my armour at the moment but it is just a plastic sheet. This seems more substantial.

I personally prefer the Dunlop one, its very warm and very visable with the H band all the way round. If you do end up getting either one, they are a nightmare to keep clean with the dirt and crap hitting them constantly.

That's the one I use, it's excellent for vis, and doesn't look too shite

If it's specifically a waterproof you're looking for it won't work though.

I never thought about keeping it clean.
aw well it's on the way

Wonda-Boy

Yeah I have a RICHA waterproof rain jacket and its hi viz aswell. Well it was for the 1st two times I wore it. Now its low viz, with all the dirt.....lol.

If I was you I would get some wax treatment on it before you wear it out that help the dirt sticking to it and you can wash it off when you get home.

If your getting a high viz better get one that'll make drivers think, if they notice it!!

My hi-vis which is waterproof and warm. (Gives people a laugh plus the camera on my helmet captures their reaction )

If you get a high viz I'd say any of the t shirt printing places could add whatever you want.

The ebay shop I ordered from lets you write anything you like on them. They are called UkPrintWear on ebay.

I got my jacket and it seems quite high quality, (and what a day to test it !)
Wonder boy what are you talking about wax protector?
Like what you put on new shoes?

pics of the jacket.
very warm, 100% water proof (and i think stylish for a bright yellow yolk).
I'm happy

Good stuff Andy, Seen the jacket in the flesh and its grand. Very pricey but does the job well.
