Hi-Viz clothing
I have been "um-ing" and "er-ing" about this since I started using bike.
No one really wears Hi-viz stuff when racing (except Vale because he loves fluorescent yellow,) but, on the roads people need to see you more then when they are on the track. Anyway, I had never really been a fan of Hi-viz clothing, but, I bought a hi-viz vest recently, that is, in my opinion, very smart looking and I am more then happy to be "Hi-Viz & proud" now. But, what do you think? Hi-viz still "uncool" or is it more something that is a necessity in modern biking? |
Re: Hi-Viz clothing
Being visible is more important than looking cool.

Re: Hi-Viz clothing
But, does this serve both purposes; Hi-Viz

Re: Hi-Viz clothing
I prefer to think I am invisible, at least that way I assume they have not seen me and ride accordingly.

Re: Hi-Viz clothing
Hi-Viz kit is definitely getting more an more popular, lots of textile jacket designes now come in Black, blue, red, grey and Hi-Viz yellow. As it gets more popular, it will become less un-cool. Who cares anyway?

Re: Hi-Viz clothing
It is not so much the "cool-ness" factor that bothers me, as I think I look great in my Hi-Viz and that is all that matters to me.
My main question of the thread was asking if people actually think Hi-Viz clothing makes a difference |
Re: Hi-Viz clothing
