My tabards are looking abit worse for wear and i have a funride coming up and really wanted something to wear over my body protector that could still be seen with a number bib on! A friend had a very nice flouresent short sleeve t-shirt that she got from sports direct! I popped down there this afternoon and have purchased myself this

and this

They are super lightweight and are designed for runners! They are breathable and best of all, an absolute bargain! I cant wait to wear mine. I like the idea of wear a hiviz jacket so your arms etc are more visable to! but i always get to hot so this is perfect! and the body gillet thingy is perfect for the summer and when im leading the horses down the roads to the fields! Im going to put some more hi viz strips on it and in the winter wear my flashing tabard on top for extra effect ;-)
 
I love sports world! they always have a 70% off sale! fab for vest tops for the yard and fleeces for the winter!!
 
Daughter bought herself a hi-viz polo shirt last month cos her tabbard drives her nuts - £2 from R&R country - its had more than its moneys worth of use already, she loves it :D
 
Looks great. How do the sizes come up? Is a 10 a squeezy-wear-no-jumper-underneath-it? Or is a 12 a huge-look-like-a-michelin-man size?

Thank you

Im usually a 12 so i bought a 12 and its 'snug'! particularly around the waistband at the bottom and the bust! i wore mine with a tshirt today. i think il struggle to get it over my body protector!

I have just been out hacking in it and its fab! could see myself in the reflection of house windows a mile off!
 
Do you think as i have increased their profit slightly by 'recomending' it that i should contact them and discuss... commision ;-)
 
I have karrimor long sleeve breathable tops, short sleeved breathable tops, lightweight waistcoats, the lightweight coat you've posted and LOVE them!

And when they went through the checkout they went through at a reduced price ;)
 
Most of us on the yard have this but I have noticed the pink doesn't show up nearly as well. I tend to keep pink for the rape flowering season & use yellow the rest of the year. I'm doing TREC this weekend so I have just bought an "executive" hi viz waistcoat that zips & has pockets for £5 off the market - also has a D ring to tie my compass to.
