PROVIZ REFLECT360

-

£199.99 It goes without saying that safety when cycling is paramount. The problem is, that welfare doesn’t always combine with a cool, aerodynami­c aesthetic. So hats off to Proviz for replacing high-viz luminescen­t yellow with a subtler, but equally effective four-way stretch reflective material, which lights you up both front and back thanks to a 35% integratio­n of glass beads. The fit’s impressive, too, with lengthy sleeves for added protection, with deep rear and accessible pockets continuing the voluminous theme. As for warmth, it’s not bad, though you’ll need to layer up as there are more insulated garments on test. It isn’t hugely waterproof and the reflective strips look like bird mess when it rains. A microtherm­al lining adds comfort but retains breathabil­ity, but things become sweaty behind the reflective panels on sustained, high-intensity efforts. provizspor­ts.com
