This hi-viz vest works for me

Post by fish »

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.

Very cleaver, and expect pretty effective where the police actually wear something like that.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

That is exactly what happens to folks behind me when I ride my scooter.
I need a hi viz vest for my black leather ICON jacket (the only color in my size) so this is it! Worth the price , and dealing with the comments.

I bet an officer would be one of the first to give Me the Eye here on L.I.
Understandably so. I think this vest is smart.
What shall I say to him/her? .... Ah, I know :D Want One?
On that note fish,
....you purchased this "polite" vest where? Got a linky?

I'd think about buying one if it didn't say 'polite".
