Hi Viz Jersey
Quote | Reply
What are some good recommendations for some nice hi viz jerseys? I keep getting reminders of why I like hi-viz stuff.

It seems like bright jackets and baggy jerseys are easy to find, but something nice and form fitting is much harder. Wish I had picked up the Pactimo ones while they were on sale. Any other suggestions?

If you're looking to be seen while cycling, a high-powered blinking light front and back may be best. The problem is that in high contrast situations caused by sunlight, drivers will have a hard time seeing any color.

Also, I've learned over time that what is "hi viz" in one situation may not be so much in another. For example, flouro green gets lost against a backdrop of spring time new leaf green, but is great against the drab colors of winter. For all around visibility, I've found hunter orange has the most applications.

Very much agree with that. I try not to skimp on the bike lights. If I haven't blinded someone behind me, then I need a new one. I just know from a number of personal experiences that I can see other with a hi viz item from much further away, even if it's just a helmet. Comments from some people I have passed biking would reinforce this. As far as high contrast, I'm in West Texas, we don't have any tree tall enough to cause contrast. We don't have a local version of a tree lined road...

.

Would love some good option on the hunter orange. I see some orange jerseys, but not really the hunter orange I'm looking for.

It depends on why you want high viz. If you want to be seen during the day bright colors may be fine. If you want to be seen at night reflective elements on the jersey are better than bright colors.

Both Trek and Tinkoff did hi vis team kit a few years back, so you can now get those racing cut jerseys at a deep discount.

the best "high viz jersey" is a 1000 lumen front blinky light on your bike and helmet.
