I was in a M/C accident "still a little skittish". Healing OK now, I went around the block 1st time since the accident. I already added a Headlight modulator .

I've got a Sonora Air, mfg by Tour Master in a bright neon yellow/green. It's got good protection in the right places including back. Ventilated for good air flow and has a wind/rain liner and a insulated liner that snap and zip into place quickly. Both can be used at the same time or just one. Lot's of pockets. Overall very versatile and highly visible. $197 @ Motorcycle Superstore. No complaints! BTW: I had ordered the Joe Rocket 5.0 jacket at the same time, nice but no comparison in features & protection to the Sonora. Sent back the Joe Rocket!

This is my next jacket for sure. Its got all the same features as my current black fieldsheer jacket but in a color that gives me a fighting chance to be seen. Although I've been told that the PIAA lights on my bike make me highly visable. In fact I've had people in the middle of the sunny day flash me for bright lights. Screw them!!! Thats the point.

FWIW, you can also buy aftermarket fluorescent/reflective striping, very similar to what the fire department guys have on many of their suits. Check out the safety supply houses for reflective belts; i.e. public service and/or airport required. Wear 'em as is, or stitch a stripe or two on arms and waist. Sometimes it's the oddball stuff that gets attention instead of a solid bright color.....
