Hi Thinice, I bought a RST Enduro jacket in hi vis yellow in October. I paid £99 for it but you can buy cheaper on internet. Its nice an big with a zipped liner for the colder days. It has lots of pockets and is fully adjustable. For washing I just bung the lot in the washer and switch it on a medium wash. I know your not supposed to do it but I have been doing this for years. Still nice an waterproof. Bonus point, car drivers think your a speed cop (I have also a white helmet) and they keep well back, an so they should (they also slow up when you are in their mirrors which makes for an easy overtake). Remember buy large as you get bigger as time goes by. Dave.

Don't you sometimes feel a bit lost amongst a sea of HiViz Yellow?
I recently bought an RST Enduro Jacket in Vicious Orange, for my £99
I feel warm, dry and conspicuous, perhaps the cagers will think I'm some new form of the old bill.

An orange 'Peeler' perhaps?. DD

Looks liek your RST Enduro can go for £90 posted if you have a quick spin around Flebay, appears to have some good reviews (all I need now is £90) och well, looks like its still a vest for me this year.

Dave, that was sharp of you, Orange Peeler indeed, I feel a new "handle" coming on.
Cheers, Robin.
