Good morning,
Just out of curiosity I bought a Poundland, (a chain of shops where everything is £1) Hi Visibility jacket, bright green with a couple of bands of reflective tape.
What's great about it is that in order to get the price down the jacket is made of a mesh rather than a solid material, so it does not flap around a lot as the wind passes through it, nor does it make you hot and sweaty.
There isn't enough material to do the vest up at the front, but I am much less worried about cars in front, as I can see them.
Since wearing it in the dark, I have noticed cars leaving a much greater distance when they pass me by suggesting that they have seen me much further away than was the case with just lights.
Bye
Ian
