Screaming yellow works

[chryss]

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.

My windbreaker is bright yellow, pretty bright, at that, but not typical hi-viz color. My winter riding jacket is bright red. I have the typical yellow-green hi viz vest, that I've been wearing a lot during this freezing spring weather.
I have a Nathan reflective vest I wear when I am riding in the dark or dawn. That, with a rear blinkie and 2 reflective bands which blink, on my ankles is quite illuminating. One time DH was coming home in the car when i came home from an early AM ride and he said he could see me half a mile away.
My regular jerseys are all kinds of wild prints. I do admit to having a black jersey, with print, but I usually wear it at this time of year, with the vest, as it's too hot to wear black in mid summer. Maybe not this year, though.

Ok, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Brooks NightLife SCREAMING green lightweight top, and also the black version with touches of screaming yellow for those 'slightly less screaming' occasions! The material is so silky and light and cool, no back/shoulder sunburn, and the sleeves can push up nicely without being bulky. The screaming green is way brighter than the picture- shocking!

That looks like a nice top, Lisa. I so wish that Brooks would make cycling jerseys....I really like their Nightlife stuff, but have a rear pockets addiction

Interesting thread here:

If I had a clue how to do it, I would start a company and make all high viz clothing. Screaming yellow is my favorite! Love this thread.

I wanted to mention that Rudy Project's Sterling helmet is made in screaming yellow and screaming green (and pink). It is very expensive, though:

After a nasty encounter with some bugs yesterday (eek), the bug stop this helmet has is making me think about it, but I cannot justify the price.

Also, Giordana has a jersey from a previous season (unfortunately not available on TE) that I love -- high visibility yellow with cranberry red accents:



It's on www.gitabike.com under the Giordana stuff for past seasons.
