Hi-Viz

Hi-Viz. 5 letters, that will make the difference between being seen and being invisible, as the picture shows.

I can't stress how important Hi-Viz is when riding out on the roads, it gives drivers an extra 3 seconds to see you, which, if a car was driving at 30mph is the length of a dressage arena.

I think we also owe it to other road users, as a mark of respect to make ourselves as visable as we can. We need to give them EVERY chance to see us, and (hopefully) slow down!

How much to wear?
I think there isn't a limit as to how much Hi-Viz to wear. I wear a neckband, rein band (on the right rein) and fluro/hi-viz tabard at all times (even in the summer) and in the winter I use an excellent jacket from Rockfish and a quarter-sheet

What colour?
I personally prefer pink, as I think it does catch the eyes of drivers more-so than the standard yellow (which drivers as so used to seeing) But there are a vast array of colours available, Pink, Yellow, Orange...even Blue & Green!

So, to summerise; PLEASE be aware, be safe and BE SEEN!
