I got the Hi-vis jacket and trousers from Niton999 as above. Expensive but good quality.
You can choose from Scotchlite or Reflexite (the diamond type pattern stuff). I got Reflexite jacket but Scotchlite for trousers because it's smoothly bonded on so won't catch on fairing etc. They are made of Flexothane which I can thoroughly recommend, it's totally waterproof but breathes and you don't get any problems with condensation. It is also quite stretchy so is ideal for overtrousers when sitting on a bike. Jacket sizes are generous (think big copper size). I'm standard 6' and 12stone size, a medium Hi-vis jacket fits comfortably over my sturdy leather jacket. Trousers aren't overly long though. Note that Niton normally deal with the services. If you want to visit them, phone to make an appointment and you'll need ID (passport etc) to be let into their showroom (some interesting stuff in there!!  ).

Try www.icu-ucme.com.
I bought one when he visited a local club in Welwyn Garden City. The jacket is waterproof (although it's got the wrong type of collar) and very warm over the top of leathers and above all I can be seen. Plus I'm sure a few mid lane hoggers have moved over when they've seen me in the distance in their rear view mirrors.. |

well i never though such an innocent sounding thread would be hiding such kinky undertones.
From the nitron site. Kinky or what?
