Walking in and out of the workplace in these may be a little extreme. It's beyond the Fred Factor. It's better to look for pants that have these stripes already attached or add your own. If the reflective is attached, that makes it two less things to /forget/loose/put on.

The fleece liner makes this vest ideal for cool weather. I use this vest when temps are below 50F with a light fleece underneath. It also works well with a heavier fleece down to about 25F. I like the open arms, very little perspiration accumulates.

It's comfortable, with several good sized pockets and very bright. I also like the fit, it's longer than most vests and the bottom edge covers my belt even when I'm holding the drops on my handle bars.

Can't go wrong for $20!

Cheers

I got one of these with the flashing LEDs. I didn't get it from this company; I just googled it and found a good place. Cost me $20 (to the front door). I've had SO many remarks/comments regarding it. Mostly good, but in my eye... they're all good, because it worked. they saw me.

I trust you two are wearing shirts under your xinglets - public decency and all, you know.
