I'd been looking around for a while and stumbled across this:
https://www.polaris-bikewear.co.uk/RBS-Grid-Waterproof-Commuter-Jacket-p/pol01-5379-p.htm
They only have medium, and I'd normally have Large, but I found a review somewhere that said they fitted a bit large, so for £20 (with postage) I took a punt.
It's great. It's monster bright, lots of reflective bits. I rode in it for 2.5hours+ yesterday in pretty mild conditions and thought it might be pretty sweaty, but with the side vents open it was clamminess-free. The medium fits in a 'nicely slim but not skinny' way on me as a 6'1", 42" chest chap. Arm length is decent, could be a gnat's longer, but it's fine.
It's pretty chunky, there's no way it's going in a back pocket, but that's not what I want it for.
Anyway, for £20, it's a billy-bargain.
Thanks for that, just bought one 🙂
I've had one for a year or so. Brilliant jacket, totally waterproof but not too sweaty. Retina-searingly bright, too.
They're currently showing up as being £15 which is ridiculous. Buy. Buy now.
Thanks hopefully its ok fit wise.
I've not bought one but did buy a bunch of other sale stuff thanks!
Some good bargains on there !
Are their road shirts UK sized or Italian tiny size? Looking at a medium road jersey. Normal clothes I’m medium but can’t get in most medium cycling jerseys !
Can't select colour or size 🙁
Dunc - I don't know for definite, but I'd put money on them being normal UK sizes.
Al - me neither now, maybe they're sold out (or the site doesn't work properly on mobile browsers)

It was doing that to me last on iPhone. Worked eventually. Just checked now and working
Edit: Hmm no not working now. Prob out of stock
Not working from the link but go to January Sales from the link then back to the jacket from there and it works
Just ordered one, not quite sure what I need it for at the moment but handy to have in as my mum likes to say. Thanks IHN
Sizes from s,m,l and XL available if you just go through the site. Thanks for the heads up, was very timely for me 😀
Mine arrived this afternoon.
Very bright!
I normally wear a a size L in cycling kit (or XL in Italian cut like Castelli) and the medium fits fine, not baggy at all. The arms are just long enough when I’m on the hoods.

That's the windproof version, not the waterproof one.
If anyone decides against their waterproof one when it turns up then I'll probably take it off your hands....

Yep, agree with all that.
Waiting for mine to arrive. Thanks OP

Can anyone advise as to how Polaris bib tights size up? Looking at their guide I seem to fall between the small and medium, I'm 5'9 and 70kg, usually a medium in other brand's kit. Thanks, G.
GeForce junky- thanks. Got AM descent shorts, MIA long sleeve jersey and RBS overshoes.
The material/construction quality and looks are good. The MIA top has a handy pocket. However both the medium top and shorts are really baggy, even though I'm bigger or equal in all dimensions than what the size guide says (I almost ordered large in fact).
To be honest I was hoping for a more athletic cut and almost tempted to send the shorts back. I'm no racing snake, just a guy who rides, plays football and swims a bit.
@tourismo I can't comment on the bibshorts specifically but my experience with the shorts suggests going for small.
