Those PX winter boots look very Similar to the Shimano's.

PS Top tip - if going out in very wet weather, get some cheap dry suit wrist cuffs (ankle cuffs will be too wide). Cut off the 'smallest' side by about an inch. Pull onto shin, put on winter boot, and pull down over the top of the neoprene - this then creates a much improved seal.

Where from, how much and is the top mode white? Could be a useful small emergency get-you-home if the same light can do red or white (although I suspect most of us have plenty of reds, as they haven't improved as quickly and often come in sets with fronts).

Came today, 1st setting is red solid (3 modes), 2nd setting is red flashing (3 modes), 3rd setting is 6 color cycling, about 1 second each ( 2 modes), 4th setting is each of the 6 colors solid (1 click to get between each one. Each setting accessed by double clicking the centre button, with the mode changes accessed by a single click. Its certainly very bright, I would estimate around 50 lumens for the brightest red mode

Thanks for the update. Would you let us know if you test the runtime, please? I fear being over-bright may mean a quicker flat battery.

Which setting would you like me to test, there are so many?

Thanks. I suspect white solid will be the shortest interesting mode.

Funkier stowaway rain jacket only £16.99 at Merlin. I have one & it's probably the best stowaway jacket, for keeping the rain off, that I've used. It's a little bulky, but can be squeezed into a jersey pocket https://www.merlincycles.com/funkier-protekt-stowaway-clear-rain-cape-127664.html

You naughty boy, it's not a German or BS standard light - you'll go up in a puff of smoke using one of them.

If was a darker colour I would have definitely got one. Great price that.

Get the clear one and it'll be black by January ! Whoever thought white cycling clothing was a good idea ?
Sorry off track good price though

White flashing would be better but I did not see it among the modes. I am more relaxed about emergency lights that I hope not to use, as long as they are not dazzlingly bright.

Not looking great, solid white (no flashing mode), only 50 minutes instead of 1-55 claimed. The chameleon mode is what I will use so I should test that one

What’s the sizing like on this brand ?

What’s the sizing like on this brand ?

Mines XL & 23" pit to pit. I'm a 42" chest, so it's a nice fit over a couple of layers, wouldn't want it smaller. & I've had it a few months now & it's still white although I do have mudguards on a few bikes

Schwalbe 700 x 35 Road Cruisers and 26" x 2" MTB Land Cruisers at under a Tenner from Chain Reaction, then knocked down to £9 a pop by using the discount code. Also Conti 25-32mm road tubes in multipacks of 6 for £17.49. Got some of these as I now run 28mm and 1 1/8" sizes on my drop bar machines, so I want some spare tubes. Have found Conti tubes to be reliable so far, and £2.92 a pop does seem a genuine, not fake, bargain.
