Hi Vis vest

[zedmeister]

We both just bought new shark helmets and in the box was additional reflective pieces for the helmet if needed.

tried once  , felt a bit of a tool to be honest . Ive got a good jacket with viz parts , I also sport a white schuberth c3 which has reflectant

We both wear them when compulsory and whenever we ride on motorways for visibility from the rear. Rarely use one for day to day except when riding blood bikes. I prefer sleeveless vest type with a zip that opens from top or bottom. Wife has a jacket zip up type.

If you do not get seen on a meter wide bike with burning headlights on then a bit of hi vis will not make much diffrence ,,,,

Exactly, my argument FOR wearing hi-viz is to make me more noticeable when I am OFF the bike, either intentionally or by accident.
People who have an accident in a car almost always stay or are retained in the car. On a bike you will be separated from it. If my hi-viz means I will be found more quickly when I am 100 metres up the road/in long grass or in a ditch then it gets my vote.
As for looking a bit of a tool.............................................

Pretty much what I said and being thrown off the bike is also why I keep my driving licence in the clear ID card pouch on mine.

On the bike a bightly coloured helmet is more useful as can be seen over the top of most cars (for example)  :)

I recently bought me a high vis helmet, schubert c3pro fluo red at half the price (cause c4 is there already...)

This is more effective in flanders, cause polivebikers wear same, so from far everyone becomes safer suddenly and riding slower always
Seen from the front the vest is behind the screen and from behind there is the topcase, thats why i went for the helmet too
So its nicer to go to a restaurant too in a black vest eg too.  I go working with my bike too , so wearing when go to shops and horeca too😋

Mines integral to the Halvarsson jacket, can be removed with a couple of zips.
Like Charlie says, anything that gives you the edge!
Too many idiots out there!

Me too

The military bases over here require them (US).  I don't wear them myself.  I usually have enough high viz on the bike with reflector panels    But if you have a top case, like most of us,  a significant portion is covered up.   Of course the sides do show up, though.
