I wear a mesh green class 2 safety reflective vest during the summer month. I have had many drivers backing out of their driveway who saw me before I saw them and they stopped. I believe they saw my vest more than my regular clothe or my bike.
During the winter month, I wear a LaCrosse insulated yellow safety vest. It is water resistant and has thinsulate to keep me warm.
