Great Jacket  Louisa Hay, LEGANA
This jacket is excellent value. It is nice and light and cuts out the wind on icy mornings. It has also kept me dry on a few rainy rides and is excellent for visibility. Would be beneficial to have a pocket ot two but otherwise highly recommended.

Good value  Andrew Quee, Moonah
Very nice lightweight wind/water proof layer. It is very thin, tends to be a bit 'flappy' and the zip feels pretty fragile, but excellent value for money. Very pocketable - good 'just in case' jacket.

Not Bad  Jacky Kooy, Chirnside Park
Not a bad jacket if you can get it at the sale price. Not worth full price. Overall fit is a bit of a worry. Arms are too baggy and flap around alot. Body length is too short. I ordered a XL am 194cm/80kg. Think I would order an XXL for body length if I ordered again. Very bright!

Great Value  Rob Fowler, Redfern
It's not as snug as my old one, specially around the neck and it's too loose around the wrists.
But, it's very light, so light I'll take it more often and very cheap (low cost) for this sort of thing.
Overall, great value.

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.
