Default need reflective wear.....

Being active duty Air Force they require me t wear reflective clothing at nite and universal yellow orange or while during the day. I cant seem to find the orange shirts long sleeved but the main thing i am lookin for is the reflective vest with an id holder on the vest. I dont want to look like a dork and dont want to have to fish for my id every time i go on base i know i have seen some out there but cant remember for the life of me who made them. since i am in the middle east sandbox beach with no water area at this time i would like to at least order one online and have it waitin for me when i get home. Can anyone help me out with a site or name i can search. i put in reflective vest and got a bunch of sites that sell vests that would make me look like i was workin on a road crew. It kinda takes away from that HD look im going for. lol

I have an ICON vest myself. Works pretty good. You alos might want to look into this company: http://www.tinwolf.co.uk/index.html

They can custom make your design into reflective vests.

I've been wearing the Icon Milspec for years now; works great. HD has also just released a copy with a reflective B&S on the back, and the ID holder is vertically-oriented for CAC cards.

here at Redstone Arsenal most use the yellow-green reflective joggers belt. $5 at military clothing sales. it meets DOD requirements. BUT your base has the ability to write their SOP stricter than DOD requirements.

Ditto on the Icon Milspec vest. I work on an Air Force base and run into the same thing. There are two varieties, one is mesh, the other is a solid nylon material. I recommend the mesh one.
