I've had good luck with a Louis Garneau Electra wind jacket. It was more money than I wanted to pay, but it has really been worth it. It is some sort of BRIGHT yellow-green. You'd have to be somewhat more than legally blind not to see me when I'm wearing this jacket.

This has been the best piece of cool weather apparel that I have bought. It allows things like base layers and long sleeve jerseys to do what they're designed to do, keep you warm. I've found that wind will cut through a heavy long sleeve jersey and to some extent a base layer. That thin bit of wind jacket makes all the difference.

The sleeves on mine zip off to form a vest. Also, if I want the sleeves on the jacket, I can unzip the sleeves slightly and have "pit zips" for additional ventilation.
