This wouldn't be hot, would it?
In either sense of the term!

With sleeves - most probably you'd sweat a lot in it. For night cycling I have a gilet (waistcoat) with the wide reflective bands round body & over shoulders. Thin, doesn't cause me to sweat but is *highly* visible thanks to the reflectives. Not the most fashionable item of attire, but I am very, very visble wearing it, and combined with the number of lights & reflectives on self & bike (think low-flying UFO and that's me). I've had motorists tell me how extremely visible I am when cycling at night. My fluorescent/reflective gilet cost me £5 at the local market (approx $9) Cheers, helen s |

Anybody wishing to buy something on E-bay batter have a 3-gigabyte per
second internet connection or it will be sold before they get to see it! E-bay has to be one of the slowest loading sites I ever attempted to visit. I gave up on this one. - - "May you have the winds at your back, And a really low gear for the hills!"

I won't keep you in suspense: looks like a fire academy drop-out decided to make some bux re-selling the standard-issue firefighter's coat. Yellow plastic, reflective trim. Looks brand-new. And I think it's hot. --Karen M. |

A large number of the "deals" on ebay, especially with a very low
"buy-it-now" price are actually not good deals. If you check their shipping and handling charges, they make up for the low price very easily. Maybe the deal goes like this- buy the jacket for $10 and they will ship it to you for $35. Typical... |

They are hoping people do not see the shipping cost. This is a nation that does not take time to read. We want our information FAST!!! If a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. If it looks like a monkey, spells like a monkey, acts like a monkey....it could be an ex boyfriend. All Good things, Maggie. |

I use something which looks similar but is much lighter weight, made by
Alertshirt: http://www.alertshirt.com/cl2wi.html This is a windbreaker type jacket that is very good for 30-50 degree weather, and it is VERY bright. I used it for nightime commuting all winter and noticed an immediate difference in the amount of room the cars gave me - the reflective strips on the sleeves are very useful for signalling. Why bother with Ebay when a brand new one, in the size you choose, is quite reasonably priced?

(Cars are inert objects that don;t drive themselves.) the reflective strips on the sleeves are very useful for signalling.
