I don't think brand matters. I have the cheapest possible mesh day-glo orange thing with some shiny
reflective bands. It looks moderately dorky, but I find as a motorist, shiny reflective bands, even
teeny bits of them on the back of people's shoes, are much more noticeable at night than blinkies or
even typical bike headlights. Also, my everyday jacket is blue, not the world's most eye-catching
color, so if it's raining or otherwise dank out I'll throw on the vest just so I'll be more
noticeable. That, plus the green/yellow reflective stickers on the helmet I figure will help the
cars know I'm there.
I have no problem pulling off the jacket while keeping the vest on. I did it this morning and
yesterday morning at a stop light, for example, without much hassle. I then just stuff my jacket
into my front pack, and am ready to go before the light turns green.
Warm Regards,
