High Vis. Gear

[Ridlikhel]

I wear Hi-Viz 100% of the time. Depends on the climate / weather as to what I wear. I have a vest (similar to what construction workers wear), a First Gear mesh jacket for warm weather and a First Gear cold weather jacket - all Hi-Viz yellow. The bottom line . . I want to be seen. The first thing a cager will say after he hits a motorcycle - "I didn't see him". I see a lot of Harley riders (and others too), dressed in black almost like they're trying to camouflage themselves on the road - I can only shake my head when I see this. My advice, wear Hi-Viz clothing and dress like you want to be seen - it may not be cool but it could save your bacon.

+2 Cool is, being alive!

Remember, we are free to wear whatever we want because we are NOT riding Harleys!!

We can still dress like pirates if we want to, right?

Duke , did you put a bell on this new bike?

No, don't have one shooter. It's supposed to be gifted to you anyway....part of the lore. I suppose it worked since I'm here, right? I did what I could and still wasn't seen. That HID lamp was bright as anything could be. Because of this thread, I might do more than I have so far. Maybe a simple vest over the jacket. Looking cool should be secondary. I like that vest above me ^

First Gear high viz vest, so I can wear it over my leather or textile, depending on the weather.

I wear a hi-viz HJC Sy-Max III modular helmet all the time.

Yes I ride with my Hi-Viz skull jacket. The skulls are reflective and do a great job in low light.
