Nothing against Hi Viz AT ALL, i think its wonderful. I dont use it, but still. I think its a very good thing. I will say that a Hi Viz helmet REALLY pops to me when I see one in traffic, it's like my eyes just automatically dart to it immediately. I see Hi Viz jackets too, but not nearly as quickly and effectively as a bright yellow helmet. Prob because the helmet is just much higher up on the rider. A jacket or vest can be obscured almost completely by a windscreen/fairing. If I ever decide to get some Hi Viz gear I think a helmet would be all that I would do. If someone plows into me with that thing on, it was meant to be. Just my 2 cents.
