Gore Bike Wear have produced a new commuting jacket dubbed the Cosmo

which is part high-visibility cycling top, part casual waterproof.

Worn in commuting mode, the new £249.99 (yes, you read that right) jacket has high-viz panels on the arms, shoulders, waist and tail, combined with reflective piping and a black Gore-Tex shell.

If you prefer a less ‘cyclist’ look then you can turn the jacket inside out and it becomes a regular looking waterproof coat with two front pockets and reflective piping on the arms and chest.

The

is made with Gore-Tex’s tried and tested waterproof, windproof and breathable fabric, and we’re looking forward to putting it to the test – check an upcoming issue of Cycling Plus magazine for the review.
