So after a run in with a driver last year that didn't see me, on my black bike, with a black jacket, black helmet on new black tar, I am a big fan of the high viz yellow jackets.
I bought an Olympia Airglide 3 because I had the original airglide and it was a great jacket. Here is the problem. Somewhere along the way Olympia changed the fit of the jacket and it's too big on the chest. The next size down is too small.
Does anyone have any recomendations for jackets that are offered in high viz yellow? What I really liked about the airglide is I could wear it in temperatures from 40's to 90's.
If you want to be seen, get a PathBlazer and a TailBlazer for your bike. You will never be missed.
Revzilla has a section devoted to Hi(er)-viz

One option you might consider is a high-viz vest. You can trade it from jacket to jacket and less costly.
And here's a detailed review of a Rev'it jacket

Aerostitch makes Hi Viz jackets in both the Darien and Roadcrafter cuts. I have the Darien and love it, although the Roadcrafter is probably better for a sportbike style seating position.
i hav ethe bmw version of the high viz summer jacket with thermal liner, i use it all seasons, though in the winter below 40 you have to put on another layer undreneath its good definitely 3 seasons and the summer with the liner out its identical to their airflow jacket as far as the amount of air that moves.
Some of those Hi-vis 3/4 length jackets make you look like a european policeman. Not in anyway saying thats a bad thing.
I have a few jackets I like to wear throughout the year. Currently, I use an $8 lightweight construction safety vest and throw it over whatever jacket I'm using. Its super visible and if I want to ditch it, I could roll it up and stick it under my seat. Its probably not as refined and a Hi-Vis jacket but it does the trick.
