Great suggestions!
BengeBoy: I did not realize that lights would be bright enough to be visible in the daytime. Some of those shadows get pretty dark in the redwoods. This is a great idea. (In addition to the vest/jacket!)
maddmaxx: Thanks for the suggestions. Does it get hot where you ride? (Work well in the heat?)
Camilo, and cranky old dude: REI also has an inexpensive mesh vest, so this option works for cyclists. (And at a fraction of the price of the PI jacket!) And hubby is a total Fred. (And proud of it!)
Spokes man and Old Hammer Boy: I love PI, too, and haven't regretted a single purchase.
w2brdbkr: Is Performance a chain LBS?
Thanks, everyone!
