These look really good. My wife is after one for running in.

I've got one - but I don't know which one. I thought mine was meant to be water/showerproof but it does let all but the lightest of showers in. It does show up well in the dark, and I mainly use it in the summer months (rolls into a fairly small ball), to keep off the wind and odd light bit of rain. Looking at the details I now note it just says 'water resistant'. If I knew it was going to be wet I would wear my Altura night vision now.

I personally believe it's worth making sure you have some decent reflectives on your pedals, shoes or calves. The up/down motion instantly identifies you as a cyclist, and gives drivers a clue of your likely speed and distance, in a way that points of static reflective material and lights do not. The 3M Scothlight stuff seems to be excellent.
If you're hauling panniers though, this approach doesn't work. :rolleyes:
