Lululemon Bright Bomber Jacket Review

With the days ending earlier, I was in search of a reflective jacket that will keep me in sight of cars and other cyclists. San Francisco is a great city to cycle around but there is a huge population of drivers. And with that, there is a high risk of getting hit either while riding my bike or running around town. There have been a number of incidents recently that have made me very aware of my visibility, or lack there of. After slapping on my front bike light, rear light, and tacky yet bright reflective tape onto my bike, I knew these elements were still quite limited.

So, my search for the perfect versatile reflective jacket began. My search lasted for weeks! 

There are quick a few reflective jackets on the market but mine needed to (1) be made of quality material, (2) super reflective, and finally (3) had to be stylish. If I didn't like how it looked, I know I would rarely wear it.

I finally choose the Lululemon Bright Bomber Jacket because it checked everything off my list while also not being too expensive. It definitely was not cheap but the price was very reasonable for what I got. It's cute and crazy reflective! I now have a jacket that will keep me visible while running and cycling!

The bomber jacket has a nice zippered pocket that is on the left chest - great for holding my iPod nano :) . The lack of zippers for the larger pockets is upsetting but I can live without them as there is a tiny pocket in the right larger pocket that is great for holding money or keys without it falling out.

There are also zippers on each side of the body for quick ventilation (which have been great for running and cycling).

The jacket is quite warm so it's great for the winter but may be difficult once the weather starts to warm up.

But the absolute best thing about this jacket is it's super reflectivity! I've already gotten so many compliments on how bright my jacket is. The Bright Bomber Jacket is incredibly reflective at night while still allowing me to wear during the day without looking silly!
