Reflective Showerproof Jacket

WAS IN TWO MINDS AFTER READING OTHER REVIEWS. HAVEN'T YET WORN, HENCE NOT WASHED. LOOKS GOOD, FITS WELL, LOVE THE CONTRAST COLOUR TRIM & REFLECTIVE NATURE OF FABRIC. THE FABRIC DOES RUSSELL A BIT BUT NO MORE THAN OTHER WATER RESISTANT FABRICS THAT I OWN.WOULDN'T HAVE PAID £55 BUT IN THE SALE AT £24 VERY PLEASED

A great jacket to be visible in when outside on darker days. In normal light it is like the image portrayed on the site. It really comes into its own in dull light conditions. When headlights for a car are on, the jacket glows white. I also have the gilet tobe visible on warmer days. Although I love me jacket and gilet, I would like to have had a hood to protect frizzy hair when caught in morethan just a shower. Thanks M and S, please continue to sell innovative products

I purchased this jacket in the sale primarily as I needed a jacket to wear during evening runs which would ensure I could be seen. I have worn the jacket on two separate occasions, but can't comment on whether it is showerproof. My friend confirmed that the reflective finish was effective and I could be seen at night. My biggest disappointment is that the fabric isn't breathable and it acted like a sauna suit. During a recent very cold spell, it kept out the wind, however at the end of a 9 mile run, when I removed the jacket, my base layer was damp and my skin cold and clammy. Sportswear really needs to have fabrics which wick moisture away from the skin. I can't fault the reflective quality but otherwise a disappointing purchase.

This is a very useful Jacket to wear over sports clothes to the Gym. It would have been perfect if it had had a hood (for inclement weather.) the price in the sale was ok but would not have paid more, as it is very thin and not warm only useful to dash from car to Gym

I wouldn't buy this jacket at full price. I got mine in the sale. I would recommend anyone who buys this to go the next size up.

I bought this for going running at night - it's super reflective which is great and the reason I bought it. It's not ideal for running because the material is not breathable which makes you sweat a lot! It is well made and the quality is there, but the choice of a tacky material brings this product down. It was almost half price when I bought it, and I can see why - I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

ITS BEEN A NIGHTMARE for the past 18 months trying to find fitting clothes! I am tall, broad & big busted & know I must order two sizes, as you never know how clothes will be cut, but its never been like this. Always TOO TIGHT in the upper arms &/or ACROSS THE BACK, TOO SHORT in the BODY, ARMS/LEGS TOO SHORT or strangely LONG; what is happening??? Plus a large increase in the use of oil base fabrics! This arms/back too tight, arms long, body short!

I wouldn't be happy paying the full £55 for this jacket but in terms of visibility, wind and rain protection it's excellent. I have had quite a few runners ask me where I bought it from. Again, I got it in the January sales and love it for what I paid - I wouldn't have bought it at full price because it's not branded.

Great value for money. Other ones I have seen have been twice the price. Definitely showerproof and amazingly reflective. Does the job.

Wearing this jacket I feel totally confident that I can be seen by motorists and cyclists when I'm out after dark. I've got running kit with reflective flashes and detailing but this just GLOWS! The jacket is also waterproof (no hood) and keeps out the wind. I would note that the description is a bit off when it describes it as a comfy choice for relaxing. It isn't suitable for that purpose.
