Proviz Classic Platinum Men's Reflective Commuter Jacket on sale (my review)
#1
Proviz has an excellent sale on its Classic Platinum Men's Reflective Commuter Jacket at the moment.

At £39 (£42.95 delivered), I reckon it's a bit of a bargain, WITH A COUPLE OF CAVEATS:

1. If anything, this jacket is TOO WARM. Seriously. In a windchill around freezing and wearing only a normal t-shirt underneath, it didn't take long for me to end up hot and sweaty. Thankfully, there's a handy snap-cinch that lets you open the zip partially without the jacket turning into a parachute.
2. The sizing is just plain weird. The chest area is massive. MOOBS-friendly? I dunno. Also, the sleeves are too short. They really need at least 1-2cm more.

If I paid full price for this jacket, I would return it for a refund. At the sale price, however, it makes very good cold-weather jacket, with the added advantage of excellent visibility.

Sounds like a solid deal, especially with the sale price. It's great to hear about the warmth and visibility features, but those caveats you mentioned are definitely worth noting.
