Due to a reasonable amount of recent interest I have decided to do another group buy on these jackets. Put your name in this thread only if you are SERIOUSLY interested. Maybe some IBF members who have already purchased the jackets will post in the thread and endorse them for those who are unsure. Here is the info from the previous group buy.

Hello all,

How many people would be interested in buying a TOP quality waterproof, lightweight Hi-viz jacket as worn by the Gardai but obviously without the Garda livery. I have one and they are a fantastic piece of kit for everyone but particularly those doing big mileage and commuting. I think others will concur when I say that trying to find a Hi-viz jacket suitable for the needs of motorcyclists is nigh-on impossible, however this one DOES fit the bill (pardon the pun). some features as follows:

- 100% waterproof
- lightweight
- inside pockets (zipper pockets)
- outside deep pockets
- incredibly effective 'REFLEXITE' reflective banding.
- button down flap down the length of the zip to preserve waterproofing.
- machine washable (brings them up like new.)

NOW, here's the catch, they are special order for the Gardai, so they cannot be bought off the shelf, I need as many buyers as possible before they will take an order (previously I needed 20 minimum, this time however the supplier would prefer more than this to make it worth setting up the production line for). They are €120 each but well worth it. If you are interested, post in this thread, only people who are seriously interested though, as money will have to be upfront to secure the order.

Note: XXL+ sizes incur an extra charge. XXL = €127.50 XXXL = €135

Proviso: I'm not sure if the VAT rate is due to go up or has done since the last budget but if it has, this will be reflected in the price.

My jacket has been getting plenty use this winter. Top class.

I see on one of the other biker forums, someone has taken a photo of someone on a Honda Deauville riding on the M50 wearing their jacket which has caused a stir .....

Have had my own experiences with motorists being more 'law abiding' with mobile phones, speed, seat belts, etc, when they see me in my hi viz. I consider the reaction to my jacket as a positive contributer to my safety as a biker.

As someone pointed out on the other site, the photo of the Deauville was taken from the drivers side of a vehicle while driving on the M50. How safe is that?

The photographer said he took it from the centre seat, not the drivers seat.

Indeed, so he says, I'd put money on the driver taking the pic using his left hand.

+1, it's hard to believe that a passenger would have enough time to ready a phone/camera and take a snap in the time it'd take a bike to enter his field of vision and get past. Unless of course hi-viz is more effective than I thought

More of these available, if anyone wants them.
