who dons the day-glo
so who wears day-glo jackets?
think it really helps w/ visibilty? i'm used to wearing all black jackets w/ reflective for night/early dawn riding. need jacket and thinking about going day-glo as all i do is commute or maybe, something part day-glo

I don't. I do my best to stay focused and pay attention to everyone around me. I've seen too many people wearing hi-viz get hit to believe it does any good.
One of my close friends is a huge proponent of hi-viz, to the point of painting his bike bright yellow, wearing a hi-viz yellow helmet and a hi-viz jacket . . . he was rear-ended last fall because they "didn't see him". I just try to stay the hell out of the way. |

Nope
Yellow Bike Yellow Jacket with reflective lettering I'm usually surrounded by bees so that tends to scare everyone else away. Also helps that I don't ride during the week and I'm out riding while everyone else is still sleeping on weekends.

If you ride at night, sure, otherwise I don't see the advantage

Light colors stay cooler in the sun, so yeah, kinda. I'm over black.

People don't "not see you" because they can't see you, they don't see you because they don't fucking look.
All the high-vis shit in the world isn't going to help that. JC

Question: Is it required for military riders? I live near an AF base, and I notice every single rider has some form of reflective gear on.
