Advantages: affordable quality jacket
Disadvantages: none right now

.... Rear vents. Chest adjuster. Velcro elastic cuff adjuster. Four front pockets. Zip cuff gusset. Although it does not state on the website, it does have a back plate pocket for a protector too. With all the adjusters and straps on this jacket you can get it to fit as tight or as loose as you want while making sure the armour is in place and comfortable. The jacket comes in different colours blue, orange, red and yellow of which none are overpowering. Something that is also not mentioned is that it uses Scotchlite 3m technology for extra visibility. The material used is thicker than some jackets I've seen which makes it fairly heavy for a jacket, there is a lot of double stitching and stitched very well from what I can see. Personally I feel much safer wearing this jacket than my previous. After riding to work every day and through... Read review

Advantages: Can always be seen.
Disadvantages: Can't hide in them.

...You have all seen these jackets being worn, and probably thought they were just like old oilskin made in yellow. This is not the case, they are state of the are highly visible coats, with tape designed to bounce light back to the source making them very difficult to miss. The yellow material is called "Polytex". They are worn by no end of professions, including the Police and other emergency services, roadside recovery companies, highways workers, site contractors etc. These jackets are part of their personal protective equipment. We are talking conspicuity (yes it is a real word, it means "The state of being highly visible") Basically it is a highly visible yellow coat, with stiched on strips of a matterial designed to reflect light. These strips are called conspicuity tape. Conspicuity tape is made by the famous 3M Corporation... Read review

Advantages: Fun , fun fun
Disadvantages: none none none

...yellow safety helmet and yellow jacket. Playmobil people are 2 and ¾inch / 7.5 cm inch tall. This toy is suitable for a child aged 4 and over. The figure has hands that grasp, arms that move and legs that bend. A few black plastic goods come with this set so that the excavator has something to move, I am sure your child and you will soon find other toys or household things that need excavating too. The excavator is a yellow vehicle with 4 wheels. There is some writing printed on the side of the vehicle. It has a scoop arm that comes from the back of the vehicle. This scoop is perfect for moving goods around as it is rotating and moves freely. The actual scoop at the end of the arm is grey Over the drivers seat is a black cage roof which is open at the front. This will protect the driver from falling masonry! This roof can be flipped... Read review

Advantages: Errr...the whole cd!
Disadvantages: You dont get Blink 182 free with it!

...I dont actually have this myself but alot of my friends do and i have listened to it many times! I love it! Alot of the trax sound alike to others on the cd and previous cds, but each is origional in its own way. As usual the lyrics are very origional and absolutely explicit! Lets face it, it wouldnt be Blink 182 if they werent! I only worked out what the title meant the other day, its not take off your pants and jacket, its take off your pants and jack it! How brilliant! How ingenious, How Blink! There are loads of excellant tracks on this album, over 15 i think (not having the album here i cant check!SOB!!) The album cover design is a stunning black with three symbols on the front in red yellow and green(a plane taking off(take off) a pair of trousers(pants-american!) and a jacket(jack it!)) the inner design is still in black...

Advantages: Tasty,filling and cheap
Disadvantages: Looks awful

...I love jacket potatoes. I could eat them every day with all the various fillings. I had been eying up the Co-Op Ready Meal Dinner Jacket for a few weeks. But at £1.49 it’s a bit pricey to buy one for each member of the family - it’s cheaper to buy a bag of spuds and do it yourself. However find yourself on your own one night and £1.49 is actually quite cheap for a dinner. So that’s how comes I finally got to buy my Cauliflower & Broccoli Healthy Living Dinner Jacket a few days ago. The spud is in a bog standard white plastic tray with a white film covering that you (annoyingly) can’t see through. This is over wrapped with a cardboard sleeve, which is creamy yellow and green. It states the weight of the contents at 340g and bares a scrummy looking picture of a plump jacket spud oozing with broccoli, cauliflower and cheese. It has... Read review

Advantages: strong, warm, waterproof and a good price
Disadvantages: the hood is onl made out of a thin bit of material so it gets wet.

...I know horses are an expensive business and you look at the clothing catalogues and jackets seem to cost about £100-£150. This are the more expensive names like Mountain Horse. I have owned my saddlecraft jacket for about one and a half years. I was lucky enough to win it. I have looked in catalogues and found it not bad for value. This jacket is very warm and keeps me very dry if it is pouring outside except for the hood which is just a thin layer of material. It has three pockets one inside the jacket, a drawstring at the waist and zip followed by push buttons. I have washed my jacket several times and it is easy to clean and look after and it keeps it colour very well. I would recommend this jacket to any horse riders it is comfortable and is exactly what us horse riders needs. It is strong and comes in different styles. This jacket... Read review

Advantages: warmth, safety, comfort
Disadvantages: price

..., but it WILL allow water, i.e. sweat to escape so you dont boil yourself to death when you work up a sweat. The jacket has a hood - which actually fits over my helmet and still allows me to move my head around, a feature that is missing on most jackets sadly. It also has drawcords for tightening the hood and waist, and Velcro to tighten the ends of the sleeves around the wrist. It folds up into a small back for carrying, and I put my waterproof trousers into its pocket so I always have them with me. It does not have any reflective strips but it is a highly visible yellow/orange colour, which is a handy aid for visibility as car drivers often miss cyclists unless they are lit up like a Christmas tree and wearing bright clothes. My future purchases, when funds permit, will be a nice pair of waterproof socks, maybe some decent cycling shoes, but I... Read review

Advantages: Delicious, cheap and not likely to plaster itself all over you in an undignified manner
Disadvantages: The wrapper's gone all modern - but the product remains Caramac through and through

...had lots of friends, but the Caramacs came in large boxes so we were okay!) At that time they were wrapped in golden foil and a red and white paper jacket. Nowadays they've swapped this for a slightly less appealing plastic wrapper which is supposed to be easier to get into. It has retained its striking red and yellow colourings which enable me to spot one within seconds of entering a sweet shop! What are they? Caramacs are golden coloured thin bars of ... caramel type stuff!! It's not exactly chocolate ('cos that gives my Pop migraines but he can get away with these) but it pretends to be in terms of its sugar and fat content. It's a solid bar with markings along it to enable you to snap pieces off if you were to be so rash as to want to share one. It tastes very sweet but not too claggy (Staffs word for sickly and gooey!) and it is easy... Read review

Advantages: Good insulation, plenty of pocket space
Disadvantages: Takes time to dry out if wet through. Hood is flimsy.

...I had thought that it was next to impossible to find a coat that was provided warmth in the winter but could also be used as a raincoat at other times of the year without causing you to overheat. I also didn't think that I'd find an outdoor jacket that I could wear in the city without standing out. However, a combination of fleece insulation, zip vents and a sensible colour make this jacket suitable for a variety of situations . The price was also much lower than I expected. Firstly, there is plenty of pocket space: one inside pockets, two large sidepockets, and pocket on each sleeve. The sidepockets are even large enough to fit small books or maps. There is also fleece insulation on the inside that make the jacket ideal for winter use. It's just a shame that it's not detachable, but the vent zips in the armpit area help to avoid... Read review

Advantages: Makes good Black Tea
Disadvantages: fairly weak not so good if you add milk

...Tea breaks, they are my salvation, I am temping as a receptionist at the moment and the only thing I look forward to are my tea breaks, they help break up the tedium of my day. The office I am in at the moment have something called Lipton Yellow Label Tea Bags and I hadn’t heard of it before so I decided I could write a completely unbiased review. Lipton is owned by Unilever and comes in a bright yellow box. When you open up this box the teabags are in perfect lines wearing little yellow tags like jackets. The tea bags themselves are the sort that you use in the cup, a finely perforated bag with a long string attached and a small paper tag at the end. Tea, I feel should have a pungent enough smell for me to be able to conjour up images of my grandmas kitchen and her big tea pot, covered in a homemade cosy, waiting for a brew... Read review
