I think if I get 'erself to model it you won't see her at all! :wtf: Me: 6'2", SWMBO 5'2". She might think I've bought a dayglo tent!

I looked at the hiviz web site and like the look of their stuff. Has anyone tried the jackets over a bike jacket I.e. spine pad, armoured elbows etc... and how did it fit? I guess I'm looking for something along the line of what the UK motorcycle police wear, they really stand out and look really weather proof, but probably pretty expensive. I've tried the safety places over here but the closest they have is basically a bright yellow string vest!

Let me answer you prayers lol
Seriously though you can buy official Police Wear, I myself have two of the linked items and they are totally amazing at the desired effect. I bought mine cos the wife passed her CBT and is on a tiny CG125 so I ride behind with the white lid and the police jacket and the road becomes a very different place indeed.
EG: People decide that 200mtrs between them and me in front is the minimum safe distance, no one ever EVER overtakes me even though I might be following Suzie at 35mph on a striaght a road, everyone thinks that 50MPH on a long dual carridgeway is also the perfect speed, no one EVER beeps their horn if Suzie stalls the CG at a roundabout.
And if I happened to be traveling at my 'normal' speed then sportsbike riders in power ranger suits sh#t themselves when the eventually look in the mirrors.
As UKDucky pointed me in the right direction, she takes the credit :ty:
Most importantly it's water and very windproof and very comforting on a Motorway in crappy conditions, or any road in crappy conditions come to think of it. It's oversized and a 46 jacket fits over both of my 48" leather jackets, enjoy :thumb:

My thanks to you, MR TiGGer (and to UKDucky), for pointing at the jackets.
I wear a hi-vis vest over a black textile jacket, and ride an all black Wee. I experience the same behaviour you mention, such as Audi drivers braking sharply when they come within 200 yards from any direction. Brilliant!
I wagged my finger :tut: at someone in a Micra who cut me up at a roundabount recently, and I swear they peed their pants. lol
I was wondering what to replace the hi-vis vest with once it's done, and now I know. Excellent! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
-
Many thanks for that link, I'm about to check it out. After this "summer" :GRR: I think I need to invest in something water resistant and visible that will last.
-
To be totally honest I think anyone who commutes should have one as a matter of course, it's lethal out there at the busy ends of the day for anyone not wrapped in a ton of metal and plastic :limp:
I only wear mine on the Motorway, after dark and when it rains .......... every time I go out then :rain: ###

This has really got me interested as I am in the market for a hi vis commuting jacket. I did a search on the interwebs as I can't see fleabay at work and found this : http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk ... cr116.html (http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/ishop/1069/shopscr116.html)
Any of you good people tried them? any good? A bit cheaper too.

Did you read the disclaimer??Shipped as per style and model available at time of ordering - may vary from image!!
So it could be black and short sleeved and that hood better be removable lol
And I forgot to mention I offered £18 on the "Best Offer" button and it was accepted :thumb:

That's worth knowing. :thumb:
[edit] and it worked! Thanks Mr Tigger.

Slightly OT but MR TiGGer reminded me of these folk (One Stop Cop Shop) on eBay. They also do wicking Scotchguard Shirts that I find ideal for the first layer (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/kkepeq (http://tinyurl.com/kkepeq), they do all sizes BTW). I take a few when I tour, I smell so much better now :wink: .
As for "Best offer" with this firm - the shirts are advertised for £9.98, I offered £5 and got them, so might be worth a punt at 50% for all their stuff?

One Stop Cop Shop!! That's the same lot I bought mine from on fleabay :thumb:

Thanks for this, scep. Another great pointer! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

My son was so impressed by my jacket from onestopcopshop, at £18, he wanted one. I tried offering half price, as suggested, but it wasn't accepted. I got a counter-offer of £17.50, so bought it at that.
I can recommend these hi-vis jackets. Mine was almost new, it is warm and light and very, very bright. I've not had chance to try it in the rain yet so don't know how waterproof it is, but it is genuine Goretex.
Do people give me more room? Not too sure about that, but it is amusing seeing sportsbike riders keeping to 30mph from the lights when they would normally hare off at way beyond the speed limit. :grin:
-
Glad you're sorted, mine is 100% waterproof if you got the same one I put the link up for. Also I've seen that particular jacket on the plod who uses mountain bikes, which explains the two built in clips to hold radios I guess .... no dashboard :haha:
-
I bought one from onestopcopshop too !
Excellent quality - as new condition (without POLICE sign). Brilliant price for the quality of the item. Are we allowed to wear the batenberg blue and white checks though?? I'm going to wear it anyway - I don't think it is copyright the police!

sorry to dig this ancient thread up but I have a question for those that have bought a jacket from one stop cop shop on ebay
I have an XL HG explorer jacket will an XL (46) jacket go over it?
-
don't think the links work any more?
-
it doesn't, but the search does :-)

my original question still stands : I have an XL HG explorer jacket will an XL (46) jacket go over it?
-
Jacket arrived today and fits beautifully over my HG jacket - nicely oversized as MR TiGGer had pointed out higher up.
Can't wait to give it a whirl :auto-dirtbike:
