Key features of best hi viz cycling jackets
Waterproof: While waterproof hi-viz cycling jackets serve a good practical purpose when it’s wet, breathability will naturally become an issue, especially when it is warm and if you plan to engage in high-intensity riding. Look for water-resistant – materials that have been treated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR). You can always check this by pouring water on it and you should see droplets will bead and roll off the fabric.
Breathable: Waterproof coatings can limit breathability so ensure that you select a coat that has good breathability ratings and which has vents that can be unzipped while riding to keep you cool. Breathable fabric allows perspiration to pass out of the garment, keeping you cool and comfortable, especially when riding hard and in warm weather.
Pockets: Don’t assume that your hiz viz cycling jackets has pockets as I have learned from experience. The lower end of the market options have been known to skip this pretty essential feature.
Detachable or foldaway hood. Ideally look for a hi viz cycling jacket with a a drawstring hood which can be hidden away under the collar or which can be detached and stored in your bag.
Loose or tight fit. If you plan to wear this over the top of another coat you’ll need to makes sure that you get a slight larger size to account for this.
