Does anyone have one of these? (http://www.duluthtrading.com/search/searchresults/65010.aspx?feature=Product_1&kw=65010) I have something very like it from another company and like it very much.

I do. I used the battery-powered lighted strips for about a week then decided it was overkill. I was really surprised at how bright they actually are. I now wear it un-powered. Being ANSI class II, it is very high vis. I wear it almost everyday.

Whether cycling or jogging at dusk or evening, I throw on a Amphipod Full Visibilty Vest (http://amphipod.com/401-402/401.html). When I really want to be seen at night, I wear a LED Safety Vest (http://www.old-fashioned-values.com/get_item_flash_led-safety-vest-construction.htm). Better "Fred" than dead.

Make your own blinkie vests. Just sew on a 2" squire patch of heavy duty cloth with a button hole sewn in the middle. Then just clip the blinkie in the button hole. A friend has his wife sew a zippered mesh blinkie pocket on his vest.
