Susieque Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm looking for some suggestions for something to wear over my textiles to make sure I can be seen!My jacket and trousers are all black, and I only have little reflectors on the knees of my trousers.Not keen on those band thingys and bearing in mind I'm a girlie, looks/image plays an important part in my choice!

Susieque Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Good idea Craig, but can't afford a new lid - mine's not very old anyway. Its patterned but only black/grey/white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 @ Cruz!!!Cheers for the link Rosie - I remember noticing yours and thinking it looked good! There are some nice designs and I like the way they zip rather than velcro. As well as being Hi-Viz, are the white designs reflective - and how do the sizes compare to girlie sizes?Should get TMBF ones!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 no they don't really - just don't want a normal builders type vest! The zip vests like Rosie has got fit quite snugly and can be adjusted I think, so they don't flap about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 the "Zip-vest" I use is mesh so it doesn't flap around and there are laced eyelets down each side to pull in to fit snugly.I find they look "different" during the day and really come into their own at night AND you can choose which design that you want or even get them custom made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
