Vistella Cycling  Reviews 14

’ve been a mega light weight bike packer over the last few years, and had pretty much ditched panniers. However, a particular trip presented it self - a mix of seeing James play live in Glasgow and Newcastle, and visiting family near Southampton. Rather than cover all the miles by bike as I would usually, stuff at either end of the country meant an unusual mix of being on and off trains, cycling reasonable distances, and wanting a few luxuries with me, like headphones and ipad.

The bag was an excellent pannier, but it clicked off the bike in seconds when I got onto a train, being a great back pack for moving between station platforms with the bike.

I don’t know how often I’ll do trips like that, which require such a mix, but every time I do, your bag will come with me!

Vistella produce amazing products which are well thought out for cyclists.

Their gloves ensure that you are well seen AND ensure that you can use your phone without taking off your gloves.

Their Lantern 2-In-1 Reflective Backpack is a game changer as it can easily be changed into a pannier bag. This is a well made, good quality yet practical bag, which I would highly recommend.

As someone who works in corporate and enjoys living an active lifestyle, this bag is great and fits both environments perfectly as it’s sleek, durable and very spacious . The Lantern being waterproof and reflective has made cycling late at night much safer. Honestly such a great product, would definitely recommend!

Vistella has filled a need that I have not found in any of the other bike bag brands.
The Lantern is excellent and is exactly what I needed for commuting, especially in the winter months and starting and ending my commute in the dark. I wear a full 360° reflective jacket for night time commutes, but the back is always blocked by my bag, I use a Hi-Viz rain cover to help visibility and also for waterproofing.
But the Lantern covers all this and then some!
The concept and execution of the bag is excellent. It is bright enough for day use but comes into it's own at night. The material used is excellent for visibility but it is also tough, I'm not careful with my bags as they are to be used not protected and they get knocked about and scraped regularly, the material has kept up with a battering, no scratches or tears after a month of abuse.
With all the wet weather we have had this winter, the waterproofness has been tested and passed. No leakages or dampness inside the bag in heavy rain.
I don't have a pannier rack on my bike and use it as a rucksack, it is light and comfortable to use as a rucksack.
Many bags I've owned over the years are either not big enough to carry all I need and I have to stuff it or leave behind items, or too big or heavy to be comfortable to use regularly. The Lantern is my Goldilocks bag! It can cover 99% of uses that I need a bag to carry. Only when I have to carry extremely big and bulky items (over 40L volume of cargo) do I switch to a bigger bag. But the Lantern is my daily commute bag on and off the bike.

The lantern bag is great. Waterproof, lots of space inside the bag, top quality zips.
I also purchased the fire fly gloves. Very warm during winter months.
Good quality products for a city commuter.

My new pannier rucksack from Vistella is amazing. It is light weight and comfortable for walking with and then clips onto my pannier rack with no faff.
Love the zip feature at the top of the roll top so I know everything is safe and dry inside. And adore the yellow inside which makes it so easy to find things. I also feel so much safer now when I'm cycling with this as I feel so visible. It feels like every feature has been thought of. Also recently took it on holiday and it fits the ryanair carry on luggage slot! And then took it for a six hour hike and it was comfortable throughout. Quite a few of my friends have now bought one having seen mine. I'd really recommend.

Decent pair of gloves, really like the high vis and illuminous arrows on the back, which gives you more confidence when indicating, particularly for a right turn in the dark. They're also pretty warm. The gloves are a little on the small size, so I'd size up.

Just got these from promo, tho i was not about to make i review, here we are. I have met David, get these shiny gloves and I am extremely happy. I will order fingerless too, as they giving a proper firm grip. Touch screen free is a big plus for delivery riders like me. The reflective sides of the gloves make you visible at every occasion, so riding in the night will be more enjoyable and safer. London is pretty busy with cyclist and these gloves just hit the next level. Thank you guys, it will be my pleasure to wear them anytime I ride as I love quality products.

Great Cycle Gloves that glow brightly at night when lights shine upon them. This is exactly what I needed cycling late on the streets of London.

Great quality and looking forward to seeing how this company expands

Well designed gloves, which help communication with other road users through signalling, as well as being insulated for autumn and winter. Comfortable, well made, and using good quality materials. My experience with the company is that they are very customer focussed, and have excellent customer service.

Very pleased to have a pair of these gloves. They fit perfectly, very soft and flexible. Perfect for Autumn/Winter rides as they are very warm. Reflective stripes increase your visibility when indicate a turn.

The anticipated wait has finally arrived, and it was 100% worth it. The attention to detail on the gloves is second to none, extremely comfortable and easy to put on and off with the special feature, and most importantly, I feel safe riding my bike night and day.

I had purchased 4 pairs of cycling gloves for a cycling club. It was a great purchase.
