Mums go wild for £22 reflective school coat from Next that’s ideal for helping kids stay safe on dark evenings

A GRAN has taken to Facebook to praise a reflective coat from Next, explaining it's perfect for dark winter evenings.

Writing on a bargains group, the woman explained it would also be ideal for cyclists and posted two images - one of the jacket in the daytime and another showing how it reflects in front of car lights in the dark.
