Review: Great for commutes in the dark – but up the pace & things can get moist… cycling ProvizSports
The Proviz Reflect360 Plus Men's Cycling Jacket boasts unrivalled visibility on night rides. It comes with smart design features and technical performance that make it the perfect jacket for commuting in winter months, but it doesn't deliver the breathability you might want on longer rides.
It seems logical that better visibility is going to be good for safety, but it's hard to quantify the advantage of full-body reflectivity over smaller reflective panels.
The Reflect360 Plus comes with an inner mesh liner that helps to keep sweat away from your body and offers an extra layer of windproofing on blustery days. It is made from sustainable Repreve fabric, and Proviz says that each jacket keeps up to nine plastic bottles out of landfill. It also features two external chest pockets with zips that are easy to operate when you have gloves on. The zips tuck neatly away into their own parking slot, which stops them from flailing around as you ride.
Using these in conjunction with the long underarm air vents and front zip helps to deal with a certain amount of condensation that inevitably builds up.There is a limit to what that venting can cope with, though, and despite updates to the fabric, the biggest drawback is still its ability to deal with sweat.
I've used a lighter, single-layer Gore-Tex jacket in similar conditions and it has kept me drier and, for that reason, warmer all the way through the day.
