Depending on the weather, here are my three go-to pieces for being highly visible
For warmish weather I have what I call my 'safety cone orange' shirt. Sometimes worn with some pretty wild arm arm warmers. But I couldn't find it. So this will have to do.The black shorts, the skirt, even the arm warmers don't really stand out in this blurry camera phone photo. But the safety cone orange shirt does!
For cooler weather I like my Brooks Night-life half-zip. I'm told that the green color really glows in the sunlight. In this photo, I was standing in the shade, and it still stands out (which is good, I want to be seen in both good and poor lighting conditions)
When temps are frigid, I wear this jacket with the florescent yellow body. Yellow in the front and back. Black sleeves. Even in the photo, you can see how the yellow stands out and the black just disappears into the background. That's why I try to avoid running in black as an outer layer.
Your turn! What are some of your favorite hi-visibility pieces?
I love it! You are smart for standing out so well! I think I kind of fail in that department, but I do have a lot of light colored running clothing!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would be VERY impressed with your high visibility.
ReplyDeleteGood post. Visibility is very important. If I run in the dark I have to forget my total black armor and I wear a yellow jacket too.
ReplyDeleteYou have the perfect clothing! It is so important to be seen especially in the dark or during rain/fog.
ReplyDeleteI've got a brooks hi-vis sleeveless shell that's great for running after dark. I want one of their fluoro hats too
ReplyDeleteI love loud borderline obxinous running clothes, I just learned by accident my PureCadence neon green shoes glow in the dark
ReplyDeleteI have lots of fluorescent yellows in my running wardrobe. The problem here in OC isn't the cars as much as it is getting mowed down by a cyclist on a running/cycling trail!
ReplyDeleteHi Vis clothing earlier had been introduced for individuals working in hazardous working industry but now it has become a safety wear which can be worn by all who need to work or drive specially at night. Fluorescent colors are utilized in the manufacturing which enable the wearer to be clearly visible even at nights.
