The lights are way more important than a piece of clothing. Those should not be an afterthought those should be the first thought and second thought and maybe third thought and then you can get clothing that people may or may not see. Good bright lights but most importantly with a good solid beam pattern that helps illuminate the road well and makes you more visible without blinding others. Your goal should be visibility but active visibility not just a passive jacket and hope that someone will see that. I think reflective clothing is cool and there have been some excellent advances but it won't replace a light and isn't a worthwhile conversation without lights first and foremost.
