If you want outstanding value and don't mind being seen, you can't go wrong with Hi-Viz orange jackets. They're dirt cheap, waterproof (if you get the right ones) and nice and warm too.
Amazon has loads. And you can pretend to be a workman, even if you're actually not! |

As a H&S consultant, I see enough hi viz at work to last me a lifetime. Certainly not going to wear it in my social life 110 D250 SE HT

Well went to local HArkila dealer today, Tried on a couple of sizes and found one that fits. So off to the internet to find one more sensibly priced. Found it at Newforestclothing. But it's saying S,M,L,XL etc. But also gives the European size. The jacket I tried on had a "56" tag inside. Is this the euro size? Or does it not really relate to anything but Harkila sizing? Would hate to have to drive to the New Forest tomorrow to try it on 110 D250 SE HT

56 Scandie size is 46 UK, Pro-Hunters jackets can be on the little larger fit

I think if you are going to try the clothes in a local shop you should buy there - they are providing a service after all so for a few quid use them or they will disappear and then what will you do?
Anyway I don't know the answer to your query re sizing but good luck nevertheless |

So either XL or 2 XL then. I prefer a looser fit. That way I can layer up if needed. And I hate jackets which are tight on the arms. 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

I agree with you but when they are £150 dearer then I'm going to go elsewhere to buy. The odd tenner wouldn't matter but £150 is a lot of money off when it's a £500 jacket 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Well although it's £150 cheaper, thats because it's in the Black Friday deal. But it shows that if it can be sold at that price then the profit margin for the rest is taking the P.
Anyway, ordered today from NewForest clothing. So by the weekend I'll be the owner of a Harkila Pro Hunter Endure jacket. Can't wait 110 D250 SE HT
