Next helmet, think of a lighter color.

Your head is the highest, most prominent thing on the bike.

The hazards that matter most are those in front of you... and your fairing, windscreen and headlight will obscure most of that vest.

Observe:

The following rider in this photo is wearing a hi viz vest but the helmet is far more noticeable.

Which do you think would do more to improve your visibility: A bright helmet or something bright on your chest?



I don't bother with a hi-viz jacket any more. My jacket is black. But I do wear hi-viz on the stuff people are more likely to see....
