Hi all,

I've been doing early morning road rides several times a week for the past month or so. By the time the sun has risen, I'm usually about an hour into the ride. As of right now, I'm riding with a blinking LED light in back, and an L&M lamp on my helmet. However, I still don't feel that it's enough to make sure that drivers see me. Thus why I'm looking into buying a reflective jacket (and maybe a vest once June hits). So, what do you use, and how do you like it?

As always, thanks.

I have an illuminite jacket and vest. It lights up pretty nice when a light hits it.


Something like this might be nice...

Looks like it would be easy to stash in a pocket.


I don't know what rear blinky you have, but I have a nightrider(15 leds???), and it is plenty bright. I wouldn't trust one of those cheapo 3 led blinkies though.
