    Out of curiosity I did a search. The only thing I could find were some UK sites. There were a few HiViz backpacks and a couple of places with backpack covers. I'm surprised that there aren't more out there.

    No sooner do I ask... there's a review of this one from RoadGear in one of the motorcycling magazines we get. It's not the screaming international lime, but it is yellow, and it has a reflective strip, and it only weighs 2# empty.

    Still keeping my eyes open for a real screaming yellow one with some more reflective strips, but might wind up with that one.

    I use my camelbak backpack without the bladder for my daily backpack. It's blue but has all sorts of reflective stuff sewn into it. I never realized how reflective it was until I saw a picture taken from behind me when we were riding through a very long dark tunnel. All you could see in the picture was my reflecting backpack. For my night time commuting rides I use my safety vest. The vest is my top layer and goes over the pack and makes me a screaming visible hunchback. I also have lights clipped to me, the packback and allover the bike. No one is ever going to say they couldn't see me! bikerHen

    You think that's hard, try buying a bright yellow bike helmet. Almost impossible to find.
    What are manufacturers thinking, anyway??
