This hi viz vest works for me
« on: May 22, 2018, 12:45:13 AM »
Started wearing one of these vests over my black leather ICON armored jacket. Black was only avail. in my size, but wanted a way to add Hi-Viz.
These have been used in the U.K. for 8 years.
I've tried a couple of different hi viz vests....but I notice that following cars give me noticeably more space  when I'm wearing this POLITE vest.

Cute idea. Although I wonder if I'm short enough to hide fully behind my top case. :)

Nice!

This is the one I have:



This is the one I want:

Two things to consider...
1) The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese.
2) Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.

Won't the Rhinos spot you coming in a hi viz bush jacket?

I dunno about that "polite" vest; I once had a very angry Harley rider in my face because I was wearing a black and white helmet, riding a BMW look-a-like-a-cop-bike. He was fooled, then pissed. Luckily, I'm too old for a self respecting Hog dude to engage in battle.

Some forums have said this vest will get me shot in their area.
Wouldn't that be a hoot....
I have nice KLIM D30 T5 armor back there.
