The perfect one does not seem to have been invented yet.
- I was hoping that the Raceviz one could replace a normal gilet, but it is not quite as good.
- The Yoko would be cooler so could wear in addition to a gilet, but it looks like an aero disaster and the reflectives on the back might not be very visible if you are in a low position.
- The harness jobbies are probably the best functionally, but don't comply.
While I'm moaning I may as well chuck this in! My experience, from one extremely wet night, is that having a reflective over your waterproof buggers the waterproofness of your jacket by holding a layer of water right on its surface.

The decathlon one is pretty windproof, certainly more than the Raceviz one.
Seems they do a few actually.

Yes they do.
This one looks like it would tick all the boxes to serve as both a reflective and a gilet:

It has pockets which I regard as essential for a gilet nowadays. In fact it looks so good that I might buy it, even though the last thing I need is another gilet to add to my mountain of them.
