I have been told that it was my bright yellow that was visible in the morning sun. Of course, my wide profile (the bike more so than my backside, I hope) helps, too... get an Xtracycle for visibility!

I just bought this red jersey: http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=31148
Is that not bright enough? I was looking for a high-vis yellow jersey, but couldn't really find anything that looked shockingly bright. I don't want to wear a vest over my jersey on my normal rides. Does anyone know of a jersey in that colore?

Look for international lime shirts. Why WOULDN'T you wear a safety color/vest over your jersey if you are worried about visibility?

I guess I'm concerned about restricted movement from the extra layer--and overheating in the summer (although it's winter here now, and I'm wearing my yellow windbreaker without any trouble). Originally Posted by Irulan

Has anyone ever tried a Danskin jersey?

Voler and Pearl Izumi both had screamin' yellow jerseys in their summer lines this year. Not sure what's still available now that fall is approaching....

Great source for safetywear, including international lime. Good prices, too.
