My mate used them briefly.... Hated every second as there was absolutely bugger all grip on anything even vaguely approaching a damp surface. He switched to Michelin Lithion and wqas much happier.

Altyernatively I've happily used the equivalently priced Schwalbe Blizzard

as a commuting tyre with no problems.

Looking for a Minimum 28mm - its for the hybrid.

The only Vittoria's I have used are the 25mm Rubino ones that came on my Kinesis, took them off within weeks, put them on the Sirrus for a while before it was retired to the turbo and begrudgingly put the rear back on the Kinesis at the start of Jan (1550 miles ago). P'ture wise the tyre performs good (in fact I can't remember it ever p'turing on me) but grip wise its pretty poor, especially on the light Kinesis, even on drier roads. If you don't ride hard I'd say the Rubino is a good vfm tyre but if you do I'd stick away from them, that's the Rubino's mind but reading Kestevan's review the Zaffira aren't that much better. I've ordered Mitch Krylion Carbon's but I think if I had a tighter budget I'd given Mitch Lithion 2's a try.

Both look like gd tyres - but i need 28mm 's minimum.

My Bianchi came with Zaffiro's. Took them off after a couple of hundred miles and never looked back. Slow and heavy. This was in 23mm size mind.

From a quick look at CRC this is the only slick road tyre by mitchelin I see that comes in a 28mm, the dynamic sport; there aren't any reviews though!

So i'm looking for 28mm - slick tyres for the hybrid - that will be used to commute on - so puncture protection is a must and as light as possible - Please.

Personally I'd look at Durano Plus for commuting duties, fairly quick tyres but very good puncture protection.
