My wife's jacket is solid black and doesn't have any reflective material at all. I've added decals to her helmet but I still think she could use something more. Maybe a leather vest with reflective trim. Any suggestions?

Some would consider these as rating high on the dork-o-meter, but they're good for conspicuity (man, I love that word).
I have often suspected target fixation on safety gear or road-side 'event' as a possible cause for some wrecks. Never could find any research on the subject. Conventional wisdom is not always correct.bluedogok said:Our surveyors always said they had more close calls when they were wearing their jobsite vests than when they werejust in normal clothing. Sometimes I guess others can target fixate on what is suppose to be conspicuous.
