ROUTE 7 Hi Vis Shower Jacket reviews
Product Rating
 

Great jacket Rini Puccetti, MANNINGHAM
This jacket is warmer than I thought it would be, but that's just fine. It's certainly bright! Would be nice if there were a more 'feminine' looking one, but I can't complain at this cheap price.
 

ROUTE 7 Hi Vis Shower Jacket Kevin McNamara, BOX HILL SOUTH
The largest size available seems a little small (I'm no giant), this may be related to the style of jacket which is cut a little short than the Netti one which is about to expire after 4 years continuous use. I'm a little concerned about spray up the back particularly when leaning forward. It is definitely brighter. At the price it can't be faulted.
 

Insanely visisble but a bit flimsy Niels Marston, Melbourne
Very very bright and light weight but feel a bit too thin in the stitching and would certainly get shredded coming off. Bit worried about the zip's longevity as well considering the stitching. Agree the neck either needs to be smaller or a bit firmer as it's quite flimsy, arms could be a bit smaller cut too.

For its money though it's great value even if it needs to be replaced out in 1-2 years.
 

light weight, very visible V Morris, MARRICKVILLE
Very bright, very light weight, packs away to nothing. Great for day wear (would be even better if had reflective strips for night wear; I wear a reflective vest overtop for night rides). Cuts wind chill nicely, and comfortable fit means room for more warm clothes. Bought one for myself, now buying another for my partner. Worth having and a BIG bargain if you get them on special. Only downsides: too hot for summer, no reflectivity for night wear. Also not water proof (but can't count as downside - would be hotter and heavier if water proof)
 

light and bright ian carter, Box Hill
A really good bright and light jacket. really bright jacket, could be improved with reflective strips and a pocket. But it is bright fluro, so it's pretty good.
 

Best thing ever Steve Bennett, St Kilda
This jacket makes a huge difference when riding at night. It stuffs down to nothing, weighs nothing, yet cuts out all the wind and makes you visible. I wear it virtually every time I'm on the bike in winter or at night.

I don't understand the 'shower jacket" classification - it's not even remotely waterproof. You'll be miserable wearing this in a storm - I was. But as a fair weather jacket, it's great.
 

Great Value Jacket Darren King, Hobart
Great value for the price - especially useful to cut ice-cold air on frosty mornings (my arms were getting cold with just a vest). I usually need L or XL in most (more expensive-named) cycle gear, but the M fits perfectly. Holds up well in showers too.
 

Bright as! Steve Pearson, Fulham
Excellent value jacket. Found it waterproof in light drizzle but not if any heavier. Is definitely windproof and keeps me warm on those sub 10 degree early morning rides. This jacket makes you very visible to drivers, day or night!
 

Hi viz Mark McMurray, North Sydney
I wear this jacket on my daily commute and it gets 5/5 for visibility. In dry conditions, it is great. However, in any sort of rain, especially when riding at speed, there is little protection and my clothes are generally wet within about 3mins. I would give it a 1/5 as a rain shell. The fit is on the large side so the arms will flap a lot as you ride. Overall, for the price, I can’t complain and would buy one again.
 

Top Banana Shower Jacket Adam Coulson, BUNBURY
This is the real deal. Wore it on an 80Km training run at night in a rainstorm. Hardly noticed it was on. Kept me dry and not too hot. Lightweight & small so easy to carry. Would highly recommend.
 

Good Jacket Shane Dowsett, Caves Beach
Nice and light large size is a good fit 180cm 77kgs.
A bit big around the neck but over all excellent.
Would highly recommend.
