Works about like a fleece in terms of keeping warm... rolls up much the same size as a tube of Rolos for those with long memories. They do matching trousers.
Hmmmmm, not sure it's the look I'm after.....

I've actually got something similar (a Klim product I think) - but what I wanted was a thin fleece gilet that's wearable in polite company rather than at the sort of clubs that we don't mention....

I've got something like that from Mountain Warehouse...

Years ago I had a colour changing Fog City (like pin lock) and it was great. It was yellowish as standard but turned blue in the sun. I think it was called hyper optiks or something. Not seen them since but I liked it and in rain/dull light it did seem to help.

Treated the road bike to a new sat nav and comms set up, both were showing there age (15 years +), went for a Garmin zumo xt2 (not sure it was worth the extra over the previous model but the on device route planning is better and that's often what we use in the Alps etc with no 4g signal) and the packtalk edge mostly for rider to pillion comms (used to tour in big groups but not for several years now) and although overkill regarding features ot looked very good for quality. All kit installed (junked no end of wiring from the bike from the old stardom hard wired comms unit) hopefully get to properly test soon...
