I will wear when weather is bad (rain/fog etc) and when the nights set in. It does make a difference to me, as in I notice other bikers more because of the high viz vest. Although I know it's expecting a lot for a cage driver to notice anything other than there make up/radio/mobile phone.

can we get added a little 'sv650.org' badge... lol...

Sign me up Stu!

Just let me know the size you want.

I've bought a couple of these jackets from this company.

They are ex-Police jackets with the Police logo removed back and front.

The difference wearing one on the road can be massive. Suddenly you get drivers slowing down to the NSL and moving over to let you past, all because they think you're the Police.

You obviously still get a few drivers who are totally oblivious to you, but in my opinion, jackets like these can be a lifesaver.

A potentially huge benefit for looking a little less "cool"....allegedly!

I'd rather wear one and be safer than be splattered across the road with a car driver saying he never saw me.

Highly recommended...in my opinion.

My 0.02 worth is that on the bike a Hi-Viz vest is not always going to be much use as from the front your headlamps will probably wash it out and in my case from the back I'm usually wearing a rucksack or have a big tailpack on the pillion seat.

On the other hand...

If for any reason you need to get off your bike e.g. to render assistance to a fellow biker or just to recover your errant tailpack, it can be a lifesaver.

to be a little safer it cant hurt can it? forget the bike fashion when its dark.

I use a hi vis bomber jacket for commuting - it is warm, waterproof and keeps all the crap off my leathers.

I think they make a difference to visibility, as Tigerrrr said, they do make cagers think you are Police which can't be a bad thing :-)

If the chick comes with the vest I'd be very interested!

That's exactly what you see on building sites up and down the country n'est pas? :roll:
