Any good stores that sell Reflective Jackets for a decent price

Jacket, body warmer or vest?

Try TK Maxx. They sometimes have cycling stuff mixed in with the other sportswear. I once managed to nab a Proviz jacket that lit me up like a Christmas tree. Someone had accidentally put it in with the men's stuff. It was really small and when I looked, it said size 10. It had obviously been ignored for a while as it was discounted to £15 and they retail in proper shops for nearer £100.

Mountain Warehouse are currently selling a fully reflective windproof & showerproof cycling jacket for £29.99. I have one and they're very effective at night. Being a dull silver colour, not so great during a dull day. but definitely a good buy for after dark.

There are often deals around for Altura Nightvision jackets. Look at cyclestore or Planet X

Eg https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/altura_night_vision_windproof_cycling_jacket-ID_56164

https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/altura_night_vision_womens_windproof_jacket-ID_22087 For women

I got my night vision from Cyclestore, great jacket and highly visible (even during the day)

Don't worry about it. They don't work anyway. If you've got the regulation lights and reflectors, you're visible. It's not that they can't see you. It's the careless or incompetent ones that are the problem.

They also do female sizing, if that is an issue. Worked with three who, along with myself, were required to wear them.

And they do XS as well as S

Halfords have do this for £20 (£18 if you're a BC member) in yellow, orange or pink:

They've got cheaper hi-viz stuff, but this is the best priced jacket I can see.

Be careful buying hi viz stuff from market stalls, some 'reflective' tape isn't great at reflecting light. There was a watchdog type program a few years ago testing some hi viz clothes from market stalls & many were not upto EU/UK standards

Bodywarmer is okay, they also do tee shirts and jumpers.

They’re all pretty grim!

What do you mean they don't work?

at all others: Thanks
