looking for hi vis jerseys

Tried the search with no luck. Neither Nashbar or Performance have any hi vis short sleeve jerseys. And I don't mean loud, I mean neon green hi vis. Anybody got a source for actual three pocket hi vis bike jerseys?

thanks

Bontrager and Pear Izumi both make hi-viz short sleeve jerseys. I hae seen others as well but can't recall the brands but are sold at the LBS. I'll check next time I stop in.

Jersey at performancebike

I got two of these and like them. The color dropdown doesn't show the hivis now so maybe out of stock. The hivis is not the same as yellow.

right, assuming out of stock otherwise that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Well, it is long-sleeved, but it is certainly hi-vis: https://www.elevengear.us/trafficmaster.html

the top one is out of stock for my size and the bottom one is listed as yellow though it looks like it could maybe be hi vis but not sure I like the large strip of black on the back so, Performance and Nashbar are a strikeout. Appreciate the help though.

kind of odd that the most visible color of all is hardest to find.

I'd prefer bicycle jerseys thanks. I like their functionality and again find it odd they're so hard to come by.

Did you call customer service at Performance and ask when the jerseys will be in stock again?
I was at the shop yesterday and they had plenty on the racks.
So did Academy, Dick's and Sports Authority.

Its kind of funny that they are so hard to find online. They're everywhere in the brick and mortars.

Pearl Izumi Attack, Elite and Quest jerseys are available in their Screaming Yellow, which is neon-yellow green. I have the Attack and Quest jerseys. The Attack is more expensive but a better jersey, heavier weight, slightly longer sleeves. The Quest is great for hot weather as it is a lighter weight fabric, shorter sleeves. Do a Google search for Pearl Izumi Screaming Yellow jersey and you will find tons of choices at good prices.

+1 for checking Amazon. I got mine for about $20, IIRC.

Also I totally covet those elevengear jerseys, especially the coral snake.
