If somebody handed me a reflective vest before I was 21 it would go straight into the nearest trash can. I was way too worried about what my friends would think and that they might laugh at me.

They are not as cheap as they could be given how little material they use, but they are great because it doesn't cover up your normal clothes, doesn't make you hot in warm weather and you can take it off and put it in your pocket when you get off the bike. Its seriously tiny.
