Proviz Women's Nightrider Waterproof Cycling Jacket

I get complements every time I wear this. Drivers have pulled along side me on the road to shout out sincere thanks and appreciation. Nothing says, "I'm here! don't hit me!" like BRIGHT FLAMING orange. Just the slightest bit of light causes the huge reflective panels to glow.I somehow managed to get the orange jacket for $24.99 on Amazon.com, and then the price went back up to $100. Not sure what happened there. Last year's model? Mistake in pricing? I scored!!I wanted a hi-viz jacket for both day and night, so the combination of fluorescent and large reflective panels is perfect for me. I thought about the 100% reflective Proviz jacket (so awesome!) but it's grey color would be suicidal on a typical gray Oregon day.I won't be wearing this on muggy days above 60F, a wet century ride, a hard training day, or a long distance multi-day tour - it is not designed for anything that breaks a good sweat. If Proviz comes out with a jacket for that kind of riding, I'll buy it!This makes really good commuter jacket - perfect for my 4 miles to and from work. Not as hot and sweaty as I feared it could be, while being warmer than most of my other thin rain jackets. It was only a bit sweaty under my backpack - but that happens with any jacket. It's has been comfortable for temps under 60F wearing no more than a thin long sleeve shirt underneath. I am a 5'7", 195lbs and a size 16 (American) with big hips. I worried that a size 16 might be too small. I should have bought the 14. This is big in the shoulders and waist. It said women's, but it is cut for a man. It would be better a little tailoring at the waist so that when in a bike position it doesn't bunch up so much in the front. Could be a bit longer in the back too - but if you have fenders you won't mind this.

This jacket is great for high visibility during night walks with the dog, and also to use with hiking in the woods. It has a very flattering cut, with a slight taper through the mid-section, so even with the bigger size than I would normally wear, it looks sharp.During sports and physical activity, I want it loose for motion, not clinging, and this is working out well so far. The stand-up collar provides a lot of protection, and has a soft flannel lining so it won't chafe at the neck and chin.Its longer in back, covering the butt. I am 5'2" , 135 lbs, with a 34" chest, and I bought the size 12 so I could fit some warmer layers under, in the winter. It is light enough that I think it will work well in warmer weather also, with just a t-shirt under it. I would usually order a size 10, or medium, but the size 12 is going to be more versatile for me. I love the neon green color, and all the reflective highlights. It will definitely be a show stopper for all who see it! There are a lot of useful pockets for hands, cell phone, etc. I am very pleased with this jacket.

I googled the company, looked at their sizing chart, measured myself and it fit just the way it needed to with room to spare. The zipper takes a little getting used to, but what do you expect from a company based in the UK. Have gotten some feedback from people I know who drive the same route I bike and they've said you can't miss me in the dark. Exactly what I was going for. If it's above 50 degrees out and I know I'll be riding at night, I wear a short sleeved shirt under it and keep the zipper open. Helps regulate the temperature inside the jacket. Definitely waterproof and dries quickly. Both very nice features. Just found the internal and back pockets last week. Didn't go looking for them since I wear a backpack but nice to know they're there. Considering other products from this company as they seem to be good quality.

Excellent for Visibility. I've had a driver thank me for wearing it - they told me I'm lit up like a Christmas tree. The fit is nice and feminine. It looks sleek. I do have two issues: 1, the zipper on the back pocket was broken when I received it, so I've never been able to use the pocket. 2. The material doesn't breath at all, even with the vents fully open, I end up with sweaty arms and back if the temp is above 60F. It's like a 2.5 season jacket: early spring/late fall/mild winter days.

I've worn this cycling jacket twice now and find it to be exceptional at keeping my body heat in. It works really well on windy days too.My only complaint is that the zipper for the back pocket does not open easily, which makes the pocket useless. I've had to make sure I wear a jersey underneath that includes pockets to get around this.Otherwise, I am happy that I have this jacket!

Riding my bike in the Portland, Oregon rain every day for work can really take a toll on a rain jacket. This jacket is extremely reflective. The pockets are HUGE and perfect for stuffing gloves, bike lights, and mini towel. I'm glad I found this jacket at this price. Seriously best purchase I've made in a while. Very happy with this jacket.

Perfect for my fall to spring biking. This jacket is great for temps as they fall below 60 degrees and much to my delight, is just loose enough to accommodate a light weight cotton jacket and even a velour jacket for weather as it drops to the low 40’s.

The jacket is very nice and comfortable. Decent quality and should hold up.

Good quality and comfortable, a great benefit that sleeve cuffs adjust and rear pocket. The detachable triangle on the back makes the jacket rather heavy though and would benefit from a lighter cover.

This running/cycling jacket is indeed highly visible and reflective and is comfortable to wear on cool days. I have found it to be moderately waterproof - during the heaviest rain, the stitching where the back reflective triangle is results in some leakage. Conversely, when you get a bit warm, it's easy for perspiration to build up on the inside. It does have useful side vents but lacks secure inside pockets. There is a breast pocket, but it is not quite large enough for an iphone and only closes loosely at the top; I would prefer full velcro or zip so I could put my phone/bike lock key there for easy access.

Great jacket that fitted as expected. I took 1 star away as the logo / reflective triangle on the back of the jacket is very stiff which makes it difficult to fold the jacket into a pack small enough to fit in my bike bag.

There's no doubt that this is a high vis jacket which is great, but sadly I wouldn't recommend it as it isn't at all breathable. When I get to work after a 25 min ride the lining is always wet. I have to hang the jacket inside out to allow it to dry out.

I bought this jacket to try and be more visible whilst riding my horse on the roads. It fits as expected and looks nice. The things I dislike are (1) the pockets are too high up to easily get into. If you put anything in the pockets, items can go anywhere inside the coat as there is no inner pocket area. This means that I end up sitting on my mobile phone and have to fumble around in the coat lining to find it. It would be a nightmare to keep money/change in for this reason. There is one other pocket inside the coat, but its too small to fit a standard size iPhone in it. I also think it lacks visibility from the front. It isnt breathable and therefore I get very hot in it. Finally, most riding coats have a zip at the bottom to make a gap for the saddle which this doesnt, so it rucks up on the front of saddle. I would have returned it but I need a coat for riding in immediately and it will have to do.
