I'm looking for something that can fit certain tools in the front pockets, and I know one of the Eleven hoodies does (an ex colleague has it), so I might try them on anyway, but if not I'll try the Bisley ones available at the shop near my place (that sadly isn't open Sundays). Work will reimburse these ones so I'm not too fussed.

I mainly wanted a fluro, reflective, zip-through hoodie which RESA couldn't help with. I wanted it for cycling. If I cycle dressed like a tradie I get way more respect on the roads than dressed like a mamil.

Yeah, their range of stuff isn't so good for active work like that. It's really pitiful for women as well. I'm going to have to try on men's jackets and hope I can find something that fits.
