Hey now,

Read angriecow's post about the PI windbreaker and I just had to chime in. I have the screaming yellow PI Vista Jacket and I had always felt ridiculously conspicuous in it. However, I swear it saved my life a few weeks ago. I was turning right onto the bike lane of a busy street on a cloudy day at dusk. (I was late, didn't have my lights on me, I know, I know...) Somehow I slipped and fell to the left, into the busy street! I am convinced that it was the super high visibility of my screaming yellow windbreaker that saved my life - the oncoming traffic stopped just in time.

(My SO was out in front of me and nearly had a heart attack at the sight of me on the ground with a huge car looming over me!)

Visibility is a GOOD THING!
