As long as you appreciate you look like a tool when wearing one, its fine.

Well done Dave

Reminds me of the Thames path race briefing. The RD told us we would probably be running through Reading at pub chucking out time. There would be drunk people and many of us would be wearing day glo clothing. They will take the piss and it will be deserved. Just keep running and don't rise to it...

I have one which is great for when you're running and it's raining and a bit chilly. Which let's face it, is quite a lot of the time in England :) Much less sweaty than a rain jacket.
In casual wear though it's a bit more disturbing...

Got a yellow hi viz Brooks one. Good for running at night as long as it's only cold. If it's raining I wear a jacket with sleeves.

I find a gilet gets less hot and sweaty than a jacket as obvz there's more air flow and sweat escapage.

I accidentally bought my gilet. Ordered black adidas jacket online. Didn't realise until I got it that sleeves could be zipped on/off. Great purchase.

Mine's a dark lime green. I won it in the early fetchpoint days.

I saw this fool in the gallery, been waiting a while to post this.

Tim Sherwood, a synonym for "Old school Tosser, Clueless manger or more generally fuckwit".
