The one feature the jacket is missing is a bright colour to be seen more clearly in traffic.

any waterproof jacket will do, as long as its waterproof, but remember, never wear a waterproof unless its raining

More of this commonsense, practical advice please. I personally want NORMAL looking but purposeful clothing, not the shiny bright coloured poser gear.
