I too cannot stand the fit of any Proviz kit, I have a pair of leggings and a jacket, the jacket seems like it would be good for a country walk or maybe sat very upright on a dutchie. but certainly not a long enough drop to keep the back warm during the colder winter months when this is a necessity of a jacket type.
the leggings i am normally a medium, but the leggings are a medium height for someone with a 40" waist not the 30-32 stated on their website.
This type of fully reflective jacket was first introduced by Marks & Spencer a few years ago. Is it still available and is/was it a good cycling fit?
I hope ProViz can grow some more and learn how to make a coat that's designed for a cyclist's build. (I'm a big fan of their rucksacks though).
