Thanks Maz (though I do stand by my main point - hi vis is fine, but it's something of a last resort. First priority - your own hearing. Second priority - your own vision. Third priority - using your own common sense. Fourth priority - making sure you are visible) |

Old Croc - my hi viz jacket is only ever covered by a hi viz, highly reflective backpack. If I am ever knocked off my bike I wouldn't want to think it was something I could have avoided just by being more visible! |

Like so many before me, another vote for the Decathlon chest light. It's brilliant! Plus reflective clothing... |

+1 for the light. I saw a cyclist last night with multiple red lights, helmet, backpack, arms, bike. It made him very visible. Plus if any fail he's still got plenty. I agree with others, high viz/reflective plus lights. I don't always use lights at night when running, especially in a group on lit roads, but will dig out my flashing armbands for next time. |

The problem with all rationalisations about not making yourself as visible as possible is that you can't rationalise away the result of being hit by a driver with the best of intentions simply not seeing you. Proviz 360 is relatively expensive (although they have a 15% sale on right now which means that the vest provizsports.com would be about £30. I'm not trying to be a salesman for them but the "360" bit highlights the fact that you are covered in all directions. |

A search on Google for reflective running jacket gives a number of options such as mountainwarehouse.com As does a similar EBay search ebay.co.uk |
