Light up the night sky...with a cycle jacket

...and here it is in action.

The London Evening Standard's motoring correspondent writes in tonight's paper about the Visijax, a rainproof, 'breathable' jacket made of high-visibility material that lights up at the press of a button. In fact, the phrase 'lights up' was mine. David Williams writes 'lights up like a Christmas tree', which is completely different. The jacket has flashing LED lights front and back and these, says Williams, are mounted so as to 'avoid obliteration' by a backpack.

During the day, the Visijax acts like a normal cycle jacket, but at night it literally comes to life. It's practical too – it has a pocket – and it costs a reasonably respectable £149. For further details, click here.
