As I write this verdict, I am sitting in our office wearing the GoFluo Darkflow Vest. I have been
testing it out but can’t bring myself to take it off… BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO COOL. We have been on
the hunt for a stylish, yet effective hi-vis vest for women for a long time and are very excited to
welcome the GoFluo brand and products to Cyclechic.
The vest is more body-warmer style (but without body-warmer padding) making it feel cool and
stylish to wear. It also has a great retro feel to it, with the inverted rainbow stripes. The hood is also
a great feature; with the zip done right up and the hood on, you are nicely shielded from wind and
rain.
The colours are so wonderfully bright and visible, even looking at myself wearing it in the mirror in
the daylight, it’s like a beacon of light so by night it will be effervescent – Perfect for that commute
home as the evenings draw in.
The fit is great to; I am testing out a size M. I am size 12 and it’s nicely baggy with no coat, but also
fits comfortably over a big winter coat.
We cannot recommend the GoFluo Darkflow Refective vest enough – A must for anyone who cycles
or runs at night and likes to look and feel cool.

Really fun colours and very visible in dark light on the roads. Slightly large to size, but ideal to wear with a jacket underneath.
Rachel Curtis (verified owner) –
I love the look of mine but it is very big so changing from medium to small.
Lesley Morley (verified owner) –
I love this. Well made and the colour sections are lighter fabric which should be great for ease of movement and avoiding overheating. Size M is way to large though even over another garment. I am usually 10-12, chest 34C. Will reorder size S
Caz Conneller –
Thanks so much for everyone’s comments on sizing. We have now updated our sizing information but please get in touch if you are not sure which size to go for. Thanks Caz, Cyclechic. sales@cyclechic.co.uk
S Lau (verified owner) –
Initially ordered size S but it was big on me even over a winter coat and long in length too being very gappy in the armholes. I reordered an XS size (thank you Caz for your great customer service) and it fits great being shorter in length. This definitely helps when you’re only 5’ 1”! Would have loved a pocket on the other side too!
Ruth DAY (verified owner) –
I love the design of this top. I’m normally a UK Size 14-16. I wanted a narrower fit for running, so initially ordered a size Medium, but this was still way too loose. I now have the size Small and am very happy with it! Thank you for the great customer service.
I agree with the comment above that a second pocket would be a great improvement 🙂
Kim Eames (verified owner) –
I’m pleased with this top. I’m on the taller side (around 176 cm) and quite a big build (UK size 16 with very broad shoulders) and I ordered the large, which is long enough in the body, and has plenty of room underneath for multiple layers. I could probably have got away with the medium, though. I love the bright colours, the pocket is handy, and the quality is great.
LA (verified owner) –
Loose-fitting and easy to throw over my padded rain coat for cold, rainy and dark cycle days! Love the colours and the hood. I’m a size UK 12-14 but wear loose-fitting clothing so the size L works perfectly for me. Great customer service from Caz
Sally Capper (verified owner) –
I absolutely love my GoFluo vest. I bought it for running, have worn it a few times now and it does the job perfectly. I’m a size 12/14 and like loose fitting tops for running so went for a medium based on the other reviews and size guide on GoFluo’s website. It’s perfect for me size wise although if you like a closer fit you might want to size down. I’ve had loads of compliments from people in my running group when wearing this. Definitely a good buy!
Julia M (verified owner) –
Absolutely love this… fashionable and functional. Have got plenty of compliments on it too. Totally agree with everyone on sizing; I’m usually a size 10 and got XS (I would usually get S, but saw everyone’s advice) The XS was perfect has extra room for layers underneath. All in all a great item!
Joanna (verified owner) –
Love this vest! Really bright and loose fit so goes over jackets well.
Anna Pennant –
Amazing costumer service. I discovered a small hole in the side of the jacket where the stitching had started to come undone, I email the sales team a picture and they promptly replied and sent me a replacement at my request with non fuss. Thank you
Liz (verified owner) –
Love this cycling vest – I definitely feel visible in all conditions. It does come up big so a size Small would fit over the chunkiest of jackets. It has a pocket too!
Ceri (verified owner) –
Quality made jacket that improves road safety. Size small fits uk size 12-14 comfortably 🙂

Love this reflective hi-vis gilet.
Looked around at others. Another very popular hi-vis brand was a bit too long, a bit thick (like a builder’s plastic sack) and no double zip, which was the clincher for me.
This is perfect for 5ft2 me, the double zip gives the nice option to have it nearly open when hot, and the rainbow chevrons stand out in the daylight. The grey, obviously, stands out at night.
Perfect.
SIZING: the reviews are right – it comes up big. I am 14/16, and the small is just right. Could fit a jumper or two underneath as well!
Vicki (verified owner) –
Got this great reflective gilet for a birthday present. Unfortunately it was a little large (S) but the team were brilliant in sorting me out an exchange for a smaller size (XS). Thank you!
Size: I’m a size 10-12 so the S sizing is a little big if you don’t want to wear it over bulky clothes, but the XS fits me perfectly.
Lorraine Slee (verified owner) –
Lovely shiny safety vest, looks good in the daylight and amazing in the dark. Expensive for a safety vest, but then most other safety vests are frankly hideous. Slight complaint on the sizing, which is very much on the large side, especially around the armholes. I bought at XS, and even so the armholes are quite flappy – certainly plenty of room for bulky winter layers underneath. I would have been happy to do without the hood, as I usually wear something warmer on my head underneath the helmet, and hood-over-helmet can obstruct vision when you turn your head to the side. I’m giving a gold start to Cyclechic for their great customer service when I missed out on the first batch of these vests.

Good fit and great quality
Clair –
Exactly what I was looking for. Size small fits me I am a size 12. Really good quality and excellent for low visibility.

Thanks to the detailed sizing information on the website, I ordered the GoFluo reflective cycling vest in the right size. Very happy with it, and the great service by Cyclechic.
