Looking for one to improve visibility for evening and winter rides.

What do people use?
Anyone got a ProViz or Respro Hump?

I just got one of the new hump gilets, massive amount of reflective and nice hi vis shoulder section.

Unconvinced on zip but 2 year warranty off sets that.

Or have a look at wiggle (boo hiss) new high vis gilets and jackets

Judging from the Nike gilet, adding arms would make it boil in the bag territory.

shame that nike flash gilet isn't really suited for cycling - the shoulders will be bent away from drivers approaching from behind, and then you've only got those dots down the back. perfect for running into approaching traffic though.

Edit - the shoulders do come down quite a way, now I look again, but a bigger strip at the bottom would be good.

Use one of these for commuting http://www.wiggle.co.uk/altura-night-vision-gilet/
Pretty good cut for cycling but you might want to go down a size if you don't want it too flappy.

Also got a hump rucsac cover and at least two rear lights - not taking any chances!
