The Proviz REFLECT360 men’s running jacket is a highly reflective, lightweight outer layer designed to keep you visible and comfortable on dark or low‑light runs.
This jacket sits firmly in the “safety first” camp, wrapping you in a 360 degree reflective shell that lights up brilliantly when struck by headlights or street lamps.
It is windproof, very light at around 170g, and uses mesh panels to stop you overheating once you settle into your pace.
WHO IS PROVIZ
Proviz is a British brand specialising in high visibility and reflective sportswear for cycling, running and outdoor use.
Founded by two brothers commuting by bike in London, the company has built its reputation around innovative reflective fabrics that help people “shine brighter” on the roads.
FEATURES
- 100% reflective outer shell that delivers full 360 degree visibility when illuminated by car headlights or street lighting.
- Rear, side and underarm mesh panels to improve breathability and allow built up heat to escape on the move.
- Windproof construction, zip guard/garage to prevent neck chafing, and a lock zip so it does not creep open as you run.
- Two zipped side pockets for keys, phone or gels, plus an elasticated waist to help the jacket sit neatly over your kit.
SIZE GUIDE
The REFLECT360 running jacket is offered in a huge range of sizing from Small through to 4XL if you buy from the proviz website.
I found the fit as normal and I was able to layer a thin base layer or long sleeve top underneath.
If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker mid layers, going up one size is usually the safer choice to keep shoulder and chest movement unrestricted.
COLOURS
The classic REFLECT360 running jacket appears a subtle, almost matte grey in daylight but transforms into an intensely reflective surface under direct light.
Some versions and related models use multi‑colour or “rainbow” reflective fabrics, but the core running jacket is generally sold in a reflective grey colourway that maximises contrast for drivers at night.
WHAT IS IT MADE OF?
The jacket uses a 100% polyester outer shell that is coated with millions of tiny reflective beads to create the signature reflective effect.
Inside, a soft touch, moisture wicking polyester mesh lining helps manage sweat and improves comfort by holding the outer away from your skin.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The outer fabric is engineered so that each microscopic bead reflects light back towards its source, which is why the jacket looks almost fluorescent white when caught in car headlights.
In practical terms, as you can see from the photo of me in my garden with a light pointing at me, this makes you far more noticeable to drivers from multiple angles.
The mesh panels and lightweight construction keep it breathable enough for steady state runs and commutes.
WHERE TO BUY
You can buy your Proviz running jacket direct from the Proviz website.

CONCLUSION
For runners who log early morning or late evening miles on roads, this jacket offers an impressive blend of visibility and comfort in a single, easy to pack layer.
It is not a heavy, fully waterproof winter shell, but as a highly reflective, windproof top for cool, dark conditions it is one of the standout options in its niche.
