I was over at the Harley dealership the other day, and there was an OK
leather vest. The look I am going for is the "I am on parole and I will
kill you" look, and that vest was OK for that.
But on the other hand when I'm riding around I want to be visible. I've
thought about wearing one of those yellow reflectorized safety vests over
whatever else I'm wearing. Not fashionable, but will do the job.
Is there any interesting product out there that is very visible but very
cool? ... it has been a hot summer. Abrasion resistance to help in a slide
would be a plus.
Thanks, DF

Yeah, I will be riding home in about 10 minutes wearing this:

Makes a HUGE difference in visibility. I actually NOTICE other
motorists noticing me when I wear this helmet.

I've got the identical helmet here, Tim. It works. I also have an
Icon MilSpec Vest in hi-viz for when I travel on base.
