The Respro ones have a zip on them, but I found they to tended to unzip. So my lovely other half Jax sowed on 2 poppers to get around the problem. Had it 4 years now and its still reflective, if a little tatty.

Millets have some dayglo anoraks in large enough sizes that will fit over most jackets unless you've eaten many pies.

Word of warning - either roll the hood up into the collar or just cut it off - otherwise you'll only realise your mistake as you go over about 50 and the big parachute of a hood tied to your neck begins to rapidly strangle you...

There's a bike one on here at £13 odd which has a decent zip and I believe is reasonable quality.

If you want top quality then this is the fella, but be sitting down when you see the price. I got one from GLF (ordered in, not in stock) and it is indeed excellent quality, but at a price. This one is an open mesh, I wanted it for summer use.

I also have a flexothane waterproof one specifically for motorcycle use from here but I'm not sure if they still do them? They get a bit warm in summer.

Go to a work-wear shop, they have a large variety.
