One winter, when commuting, I rode with a couple of rear red lights AND a BLUE flashing rear light. I know technically illegal, but really effective. I was stopped a couple of times by moterists, commenting how effective they were and asking where they could get them from.
Hopefully, not for their cars???
My daughter commutes to work and wants a commuter jacket
List of requirements
- breathable
- black with masses of reflectives OR on of those silver grey 360 degree reflective hobbies
- women's version (probably)
- would consider a softshell style
The seriously reflective ones seem to be boil in the bag
Fire away!
I have one of the Boardman 'silver-grey 360'
Agreed, yes it is fairly warm,
but, the sleeves come off, with zips, to convert to a gilet
Obviously, I've not seen me wearing it, but have seen other riders wearing similar, & they're great from any angle
Downside is, if you wear it during the day, it's too dull, or catches the Sun, & dazzles??
I wore mine yesterday, to ride to work, leaving home at 10:30, so it was dull
That said, I was leaving the Hospital, at 20:00, the same time as all of the visitors were leaving, so cars everywhere...…………

I also invested in some new lights from
Halfords recently, after my SMART(?) lights started to play up
Lower seat-pin, & seat-stay
