    Question Hi Viz Jersey for Women?

    Has anyone found a long (or short, I guess) sleeved jersey (not jacket or vest) that is VERY high visibility, but also decently cut and perhaps a little tiny bit less ugly? Like maybe another color around the collar or something? Or curvy accent colors? (Hopefully no elastic at bottom...)

    Our traffic has increased a gazillion-fold, and the level of driving seems to be going downhill at the same time.

    I want a truly high visibility jersey I can wear this spring and summer more or less day in and out on the bike; and, of course, I hate wearing ugly jerseys!

    Thanks for any recommendations.

    This isn't ugly at all , (but it is a little spendy):

    Not sure if this is truly "hi-viz" yellow but it looks pretty bright.

    Terry is worth a try, they make lots of hi-viz year round (not quite as stylish as the Exte Ondo option though).

    Also PI is a good bet for hi viz. I hate PI jerseys though. They're always too short for me.

    I see this one at PI...would sure like to find a long sleeved one. I want my arms visible for signaling, and I hardly ever need a hot weather jersey.

    I would just like to find a truly hi viz, long sleeved jersey with pockets, etc.

    I like the various "Night Life" his-vis gear by Brooks. Terry sells some of it:
    http://www.terrybicycles.com/product...idc=b7515a0770
    So does Footlocker.com, which has some at a slightly cheaper price.


    It's as hi-vis as it gets.

    Thanks...this looks like very bright stuff! I'm puzzled as to why they don't seem to have one in a true cycling jersey, with pockets, etc. Just the runner's type tops, it looks like?

    If you'd be willing to try men's jerseys, check out the Nashbar & Performance men's sections, there are a few hi-vis and/or bright yellow long-sleeved jerseys there:

    Team Cyclist & Colorado Cyclist both have a few bright yellow long sleeve jerseys for men (but not necessarily that weird "hi-viz" color). They might be more stylish.

    I got two nice high vis shebeest jerseys at sierra TP, both long sleeve. One in yellow http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html and one in orange http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html, both w nice accents.

    The yellow one is a little lighter weight than the orange. Another option for commuting is to get either a yellow wind vest, or I got the PI vagabound jacket in screaming yellow, so then I can wear whatever jersey I want. Its a versatile piece, if its cool in the am I'll wear it with sleeves on, but if it warms up I'll zip off the sleeves to ride home. They are on sale right here at TE.

    Here is a short sleeve option at stp: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html (I have this jeresy too and its nice)

    and here is a wind vest also at stp: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html (I used to have this, nice vest but not so visible from behind as the PI ones)
