"As a Road Safety Officer for Motorcycles I would like all motorcyclists to wear a bright yellow hi-vis jacket, but let's face it - they are not cool.

When I first saw this 'Black' Hi-Vis jacket I was amazed. Looking across a crowded carpark the chap wearing one stuck out like a sore thumb.

I have been riding for 10 years I have only worn a conventional Yellow Hi-Vis jacket a couple of times - for my test, and for my A.I.M. training. The reason I have never worn one since is I feel like I look like a trainee, or just feel un-cool.

How things have changed! The Cool Silver Vest is now a permanent fixture to my leather Jacket, and people ask me where I got the Jacket from! The Quality is excellent, with plenty of useful pockets including an easily accessible mobile phone pocket which is really useful."
