Default Since I am required

Well since the military requires us to have something reflective on during the hours of darkness and something of contrasting colors during the day this is what I came up with. I took an ICON vest and took all the ICON lettering off of it and replaced it with reflective HD patches. Not to bad and I am of only two that I know of like this on the base.

Looks nice. One question though. Why the Fatboy logo if you own an UC?

LOL I wondered when that question would come up. The only answer I have is that they don't make a UC patch. I wanted something to go across the top of the vest other than the huge ICON patch and the fatboy patch was the only one that I could find that was reflective and big enough yet narrow enough to fit up there. I just really wanted to stay with a HD theme so it works for me.

Great Idea! Looks good. Just leave it to our US Military folks to come up with ideas like this.

I just wear the PT belt and reflective gloves to work. It all fits in the tool bag, then if I need to go on base on the weekend when i'm out it's available.

Our commander, in his infinite wisdom, made it mandatory to wear a retro-reflective vest at all times. The Army standard is bright colors in hours of light and retro-reflective in hours of darkness.

I wear the HD black retro-reflective vest when I'm on post. It does absolutely nothing in the day, but it says HD and it's way better than the gay yellow road guard vest I think he meant for us to wear.I'd be better off wearing a white HD t-shirt.
