High Vis. Gear

[willtill]

I'm in your mindset. I wanted a light colored bike even, but got what I got because I was hard up for a bike. I went hi viz on a vest, then recently purchased a summer jacket with hi viz accents. Even bought a pair of hi viz gloves. With the lighting the bike provides, I hope to be good to go at this point.

Lowes has these for CHEAP:

I wear them when riding my (pedal) bike. Could work as well with a motorcycle

Hmmm. Will they offer sufficient protection from road rash...in the event that unfortunate incident occurs...

Some protection. Leather on the palms. All leather work gloves would be better of course... but the one I mentioned are particularly for high visibility.

the longer i'm on a metric, the more i'm getting away from riding "naked".

i rarely drink any more, no reason to help people run me down.

and since you can "wrap" a bike in led's, it doesn't seem to matter, people will still NOT see you.

I ride atgatt 95% of the time, the 5% being a difference in whether or not I'm wearing armor beneath my jean or riding with leathers over them.

The only hi-vis item I wear is a Hit-Air Airbag vest. I bought one after visiting a friend of mine in a hospital, last year, where a front tire blowout threw him high-side off his bike at 60mph. The pavement ate the knees of his jeans up and he got pretty nasty roadrash (plus a cracked kneecap) from it but only bruised the palms of his hands and no damage to his head or core. He was wearing one of these vests and likened it to falling and sliding on an air mattress.
