Waited and waited about this jacket.... Finally ordered one will be posted on monday ordered large red, stats are 5'9" tall - 40" chest was gonna go medium but i felt it may be too tight.

Has anyone else got similar stats to me if so was size did you order and how does it fit?

Looking forward to it though

5`10" 38 chest medium is spot on

My local TKMaxx (Dundee) had a selection of Polaris jerseys and rain tops at about the £35 mark.

Picked a venom jersey (in red and black) for £32.00. Also some odds and sods by Craft.

I have to confess to preferring my Cateye TL-LD1100 for a rear light. had one for years & years and it has never let me down and it has been through the worst weather that Wales, Ireland, Scotland and several months of Norway/Sweden & Finland has thrown at it.

I've had this one for years too on my commuter. Great light. I like that you can have one strip of LEDs on solid and the other on flashing, all in the same unit. Plus side visibility is very good.

As noted it's not the most compact unit though.

FTFY!

If you are an Exposure Lights fan, Rutland Cycles have some great deal on the 2013 models at the moment.

52% off on the Joystick mk7, lanyard & helmet mount at £79.99
48% off on the Joystick mk7 & lanyard at £74.99 (just bought 2 more (one for myself & one for my OH) because they are cheaper than the pigback batteries and allow me to use my remote switch which the additional battery pack won't and my existing Joystick does not last commute over to help my parents out - at least it does not last there & back, so I have been nicking my OH's joystick when he is not cycling to work)

Just been delivered - looks a very well built light. What are all the modes? cant really work out the guide which comes with it????
thanks

Yep - have to confess I have not fully sussed that one out. the video does not show the 'new feature' on the joystick only the diablo and another one. But basically you have the 4 modes (high, medium, low & flashing) and if the AMS is to be believed you can change the level of brightness for each of these (I think only modes 4, 5 & 6 apply to the joystick, if you can get them). Mine appears to be in mode 5 (when turned off hold down the one switch and count the number of flashes.... easier said than done because they flash very fast....). But mine is lasting around the 2 hours mark on max which does not tie in with the number of flashes... mode 4 should be max 2 hours battery life on high but I think I see 5 flashes... still it is not what I purchased it for, so have not worried about it too much especially since it is a new feature than neither of our older versions have! My commute at the moment is such that I am completely exhausting one of them (down to 5%) and taking the other down to 75% due to cycling unlit country lanes rather a lot at the moment!

Has anyone here heard of Fasttech? It's a Chinese company that some how sells things at very discounted prices, I get a lot of my electronic cigarettes from there but they do decent bike lights too.

Delivery is free but take about two week, that's the only down side!

Thursday sees latest cree torch from Aldi this time its 10 w item , although no mention of physical size etc might be worth a look

https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-19th-december/product-detail/ps/p/10w-led-torch/

£25 - gulp. You can get a Trustfire U2 powered torch for about £12 delivered (but you need the 18650 batteries).

Well had my altura varium jacket (Blue) arrive this morning all i can say is wow... lovely jacket just what i was after, Was originally going to go for the large but at the last minute changed to medium (Glad i did) not too tight just right.

I see what previous people's comments mean about the cuff's being a bit flimsy but can deal with that.

Overall very happy.
