Does anyone have this jacket? I had a dissapointing trip to the local bike shop and couldn't find anything I liked so after a search found this. It's for my commute so needs to be visible and not boil in bag. If anyone has this how does it size up? I'm dead skinny but have fairly long arms so tend to go for size small but often end up with my wrists poking out the sleeves. Also it looks a bit baggy in that review or is that the size? Pre order only at the moment but gets the price down a touch.

How is anyone going to have one if it's pre-order only? Looks quite smart though.

Fair question, Its the second lot of pre orders, first lot went out earlier this year so should be some in circulation. Company is a one man band getting stuff made in far east using kickstarter etc.

It turned up today, small fits spot on for me, arms just long enough. Probs more baggy than I'd expect a road cycling jacket to be but tighter than a walking jacket. First impressions are super high quality, loads of features, 4x pockets, pit vents, back vent, removable hood etc. Hi vis is just as amazing in real life as photos on the website. Will see how hot it is on Thursday.

Just in case someone finds this in the future I've ridden 80 miles in some pretty wet weather, max of ten degrees and am really happy with the jacket. Its a great fit, no idea why I said it was baggy above. The large rear pocket is handy for chucking glove liners or hats in as you warm up. I've survived at ten degrees with a base layer and vents open and not too sweaty. Visibility is excellent. Overall I would recommend despite the price.

I just saw one being worn in the local Coop today. Looks very nice in Orange.
