My chrome bag has an orange stripe.
It's clearly the most visible thing on the planet.

There's the ortlieb backpack--rei and ortliebusa--but I'm betting that's not what you're looking for. I see custom bag makers offer to use whatever material you want (chicagowig comes to mind) but I know of no other off-the-peg orange or with that European safety glo material.

RELoad probably has some orange Cordua; if you're looking for some special safety-glo fabric though, I'm sure they'd be happy to stitch up a bag with it for a price.

Any company that does custom stuff (REload, Seagull, etc) can do reflective material on the lid. Otherwise, just about anyone has orange cordura, but it won't be reflective.

OT: anyone know how to restore bright cordura to its former luster? My Chrome used to be high-viz but now is lo-viz grayish yellow....
Have tried: detergent + scrubbing, carpet cleaner, baleful glances, "the finger", all to no avail.

I have two oranges. One is a regular color, the other is a bright, almost annoying orange.

So, uh, clearly I was smoking sumthan or this is a Kuhnian case study in only seeing what you're looking for. Apparently, you should check out just about any msgr bag maker. My only saving grace would be if you are looking for that European stuff.

I have some Cordura in the nearly-flourescent blaze orange often used for safety gear (think hunting orange - really, really bright). Probably the same stuff Dan (Seagull, above). I can make you one if you're willing to wait 10+ months, but Dan's probably a lot faster

I think Ortlieb's bags are pretty bright. My 2 year old Bailey is bright yellow,but my 5 month old one is more muted gold color.
You could always just sew some of this on:
