Description
This is a great all round waterproof jacket which can be used throughout the year. Ideal for long distance cycling as it’s lightweight and can be folded up small to fit in your bag.

Two colour versions of the Signal Jacket are available and will appeal to different riders. The Day Light visibility version allows a no compromise to dusk till dawn rider offering a strong stand out colour which means even in the dullest of days the colour of the jacket will get you noticed. Coupled together with a 360 degree approach on the reflective material it makes this jacket one to get you noticed.

The Signal Jacket also comes in a darker hue jacket, so you lose the daytime benefit but you gain a multi use garment which extends the use further than your time on the bike. The same 360 degree approach to reflectivity has been taken to ensure that any low light riding will be still safer than a standard black jacket.

The jacket is cut a little longer at the front so to protect the wearers’ lower garments. The cut also provides ample room to wear a thicker mid layer for those chillier days. With a full YKK zip and a fleece lined collar all the small details have been taken care of.

On August the 11th, 2011 thirteen people with very little previous long distance cycling experience took it upon themselves to ride from London to Paris to raise money for the charity Awamu.

13 (lovely) people cycled nearly 180 miles over three days through unseasonal rain and wind, had twelve punctures (two within 20 minutes!) and raised nearly £11,000 for the charity which will support 17 children in Kampala, Ugando through their education.

Music is “A New Error” by Moderat.

Shot on a mixture of a Canon 550d, a sometimes very damp iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3Gs. The cycling footage is so shaky as it was shot handheld whilst cycling myself. Actually quite tricky it turns out!
