    With sleeves - most probably you'd sweat a lot in it. For night cycling I
    have a gilet (waistcoat) with the wide reflective bands round body & over
    shoulders. Thin, doesn't cause me to sweat but is *highly* visible thanks to
    the reflectives. Not the most fashionable item of attire, but I am very,
    very visble wearing it, and combined with the number of lights & reflectives
    on self & bike (think low-flying UFO and that's me). I've had motorists tell
    me how extremely visible I am when cycling at night. My
    fluorescent/reflective gilet cost me £5 at the local market (approx $9)

    Cheers, helen s

    There's no reason to doubt what the description says it is:

  4. Anybody wishing to buy something on E-bay batter have a 3-gigabyte per
    second internet connection or it will be sold before they get to see it!
    E-bay has to be one of the slowest loading sites I ever attempted to
    visit.

    I gave up on this one.

    I won't keep you in suspense: looks like a fire academy drop-out
    decided to make some bux re-selling the standard-issue firefighter's
    coat. Yellow plastic, reflective trim. Looks brand-new.

    And I think it's hot.

  7. A large number of the "deals" on ebay, especially with a very low
    "buy-it-now" price are actually not good deals. If you check their
    shipping and handling charges, they make up for the low price very
    easily.

    Maybe the deal goes like this- buy the jacket for $10 and they will
    ship it to you for $35.

    Typical...

    They are hoping people do not see the shipping cost. This is a nation
    that does not take time to read. We want our information FAST!!!

    If a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

    If it looks like a monkey, spells like a monkey, acts like a
    monkey....it could be an ex boyfriend.

  9. I use something which looks similar but is much lighter weight, made by
    Alertshirt:

    http://www.alertshirt.com/cl2wi.html

    This is a windbreaker type jacket that is very good for 30-50 degree
    weather, and it is VERY bright. I used it for nightime commuting all
    winter and noticed an immediate difference in the amount of room the
    cars gave me - the reflective strips on the sleeves are very useful for
    signalling. Why bother with Ebay when a brand new one, in the size you
    choose, is quite reasonably priced?

    You mean, that the MOTORISTS gave you. (Cars are inert objects that
    don;t drive themselves.)
