You can get high vis is many manufacturers and many grades so look at what you want it for.

If you are going to be using it all the time then look at breathability. Best material for this is something called "Pertex". Bright colours and totally breathable and completely windproof. Sounds wrong but the genuine "Pertex" does this. It is in no way waterproof though. Then if only riding in unexpected light showers then a "Showerproof" only coat might be better. Then the full wet jackets for inclement weather.

Many manufacturers use many materials- some are good and some not so. The manufacturer to me is not that important- but fit is and this can vary greatly.
