The waterproof should be a handy thing to have, lightweight.

Although it seems people have found it not all that water proof !

There is some debate as to whether a hi-viz is necessary as the fleece and waterproof jacket both have reflective striping.
Still waiting for confirmation from Area H&S rep.... :roll:

I thought I read that the 'hi-vis' element was to expensive to use and degraded with washes hence the old level 'hi-vis' vests still need to be used ?
