Hanneke Oct 2021 10:43am, 1 Oct 2021 80,208 posts	0 Hanneke From my cycling experience, I would go for a gilet. Much more universally usable throughout the year. You can slip it on at night over a jersey in summer or over a thicker jacket in winter. You can use it for running and cycling. I use my reflective gilet, which I bought in large, I am small, so it also fits over my down jacket and winter coat for walking down the unlit lanes here in winter.

I have a size 8 and can wear layers including a hoody under it! Tikiboo have announced today they are putting side pockets on leggings, capris and running shorts in future. It's had a largely popular reaction but also some not-so. Which tbh I get. I am not a fan personally for running and my main issue with flanci is the way all the seams run down the legs and get twisted etc. But I'll no doubt try some to see.

I’ve been dazzled by it when I happened to look her way when some headlights hit it. Thankfully for my eyes it’s got a lot less reflective stuff on the back.

I’m just gutted that they don’t fit me right, but I do have old school mr men tikiboo Christmas as a consolation prize! I might just have a park at the sturdies!
Rosehip Oct 2021 12:05pm, 1 Oct 2021 22,554 posts	0 Rosehip I think a proviz gillet is a good idea - but the fact that unless you go for black, women’s on there = pink pisses me off enough not to buy one. I hate pink less than I used to and have some pink kit, but the boys is blue girls is pink really annoys me!
