Moose,

I dont want to pay over the odds for a Oxford one.

Have you see this on e-bay Link

For me that would be more suitable.

Cheers, Ivan

Had a look at the hi-vis vests at Hein Gericke, about £25 to £35.... for a fecking vest! I'd rather have the jacket from Aldi at that price......

But as I said before I've not found them to make any difference to the tw@ts who pull out in front of you anyway.

I like the idea of a better quality elasticated vest like the Oxford one. £20-£25 is not unreasonable for something thats going to last for years and hopefully has top quality reflective capability.
Would prefer no name & carpe-tdm on back. good.gif

You think the Oxford ones are expensive, have a look at these UrbanGlow ohmy.gif , I've had one for the last few years, still good as new. And cars tend to get out the way as they think your a copper (local force wear the same hi-viz tops).

I was lucky, got mine for £25 after attending a "Ride to Arrive" course organised by the local council/plod.
