I'm thinking about getting one. More and more people are acting like they can't see me coming down the road.

When I was younger I thought it was only cool to wear black leather or denim. I'm now 60 years old and don't care anymore.

So, I am looking for something bright orange and reflective.

 

I have refective piping on my riding jacket..it does give you a lil more visabilty

 

I wear a hi-vis jacket and bright white helmet nearly all the time.

 

I have to wear a 'hit me' vest when riding to work (military base). Haven't really noticed a difference in people trying to run me over whether or not I have it on.

 

I have two types for sale under classifieds if you're interested or send me a pm

Every since a lady in a suburban backed into me,I wear a high vis vest.

 

My father-in-law has a hi-vis rain suit. It really makes a difference in being able to see him through all of the road mist, when out on the highway.

I have a blue rain suit, but after riding with him in the rain, I may get one of those instead...

 

When I was active duty, I had to wear one and I honestly don't think anything helps.

I have road a lot of bikes and had unobservant dumb asses pull out in front of me on all of them.

The only solution I ever seen was for me to just assume that absolutely no one can see me. Every intersection I come up to, I assume the cage is going to pull out, and I plan for it as best I can.

When on the interstate, I stay away from EVERY ONE, and I never ride on anyone's quarter panels.

I really do not believe it is possible to make ourselves anymore visible to the cages.

We simply have to ride smarter, and expect the idiots to ignore us.

 

Zoo, It's not a bad idea. Never hurts to advertise that you're out there.....

 

I have an armored Cycleport kevlar hi viz. The knucklehead that crowded me into the tunnel wall sure didnt see it, but that kevlar and armor sure saved my *** (as well as my arms).
