Altura Night Vision Windproof Women's Jacket
Not to be confused with the Altura Night Vision waterproof jacket, this lighter weight but equally eye-catching Windstopper feels more like a mildly fleecy jersey to wear, but made more seriously weatherproof.

- Velcro lightstick LED mount
- Trademark Night Vision reflectivity.

This winter my first choice of top layer has been Altura's Night Vision Windproof jacket. The Altec windproof sections are located perfectly, keeping the wind chill just off the areas that need them. The more breathable, softer shell thermal sections have been effective enough to help stop me feeling sweaty. The 'Night Vision' jacket is so named because it contains a generous amount of reflective material. The jacket concentrates the reflective elements on areas relevant to a bike rider, especially on the front facing areas like arms and across the front of the shoulders. At the rear of the cuffs, which show well when indicating, the sections across the back are concentrated lower down. So effective is the design that I no longer use my tabard or Sam Browne belt. The jacket has 3 open rear pockets, one zipped pocket and quite a generous cut.
