    I'm a big fan of screaming yellow. I would love to find some screaming yellow jerseys with a little bit of a pattern or design to them, rather than a solid color. Has anyone ever found anything like this?

    I have this, and this appeals to me. Any other ideas?

    The helmet's screaming yellow, my bike's screaming yellow the vest and now I'm thinking about these:

    Yes, not a scientific study but I sense and sometimes see drivers take that second glance.

    I can't remember where I read it, but high visibility chartreuse is supposed to be the most visible color. I see more and more highway workers wearing that color. High viz yellow is right up there, as is blaze orange.

    I used to ride motorcycles and I had a blaze orange helmet. There was a substantial difference in how cars kept their distance from me when I wore that helmet. I've wondered why bike helmets don't come in high visibility colors.

    I bought this windbreaker http://bontrager.com/model/07260 at a LBS, and am blinded by its brightness and feel much safer with the cars zipping by. Also, as a somewhat unexpected bonus, it turns out to be an excellent wind jacket.

    I have several screamin' yellow Brooks Nightlife tops and jackets---very high-viz! For summer, I have sleeveless and short-sleeved neon yellow jerseys by Terry.

    This is the short-sleeved version: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodTY_630024_0.html.

    I saw a jersey somewhere recently that combined high-viz yellow with a neon pink. Great combo! Wish I could remember where I spotted it.
