Hi Viz
If you do any amount
of cycling at night then you will be aware of the treacherous situations
that can affect a cyclist at this time. In reduced visibility, even the
most cycle-friendly motorist can struggle to pick out a cyclist who has
hit the roads unprepared for the vastly different conditions you can
encounter when cycling in the dark.
Of course, a prudent cyclist will ensure they have the right kit to
cycle safely during the evening. Bike lights and brightly-coloured
clothing are important, as are reflective straps that can be easily
affixed to a bike or clothing, but the best way to ensure that you are
seen is by wearing a Hi Viz vest.
It is true to say that cyclists have adapted this simple piece of
clothing from other uses. Typically, this type of vest is used in
industrial areas or work sites to ensure that people are seen around
dangerous equipment both during the day and at night. It is this very
fact that makes the vest absolutely ideal for the cyclist.
The bright reflective material not only reflects any ambient light but
does so brightly, making the cyclist plainly apparent to any passing
vehicle. The large area of the body covered by the vest means that the
cyclist is much easier to spot for a motorist in comparison to bike
lights, or a reflective strip. The fact that the vest can be slipped on
over your clothing and stored easily on the bike means that if you plan
to cycle at night, this is a must-by purchase from the Foxster range.
