Title: This hi viz vest works for me
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on May 22, 2018, 12:45:13 AM

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.

Cute idea. Although I wonder if I'm short enough to hide fully behind my top case. :)

Won't the Rhinos spot you coming in a hi viz bush jacket?

I dunno about that "polite" vest; I once had a very angry Harley rider in my face because I was wearing a black and white helmet, riding a BMW look-a-like-a-cop-bike. He was fooled, then pissed. Luckily, I'm too old for a self respecting Hog dude to engage in battle.

Some forums have said this vest will get me shot in their area.
Wouldn't that be a hoot....
I have nice KLIM D30 T5 armor back there.
