I've always heard people talk about getting high viz yellow. I am no longer a believer in wearing it for motorcycle riding. Working for a Sub of AT&T we get sent out on broke poles. On this
one right here (Poles got yanked down at noon and we left at 5:30am) I remember one of the AT&T boss men coming down the road. The road was also shut down by police so we could roam wherever we wanted too. My partner (Big 6'7" guy in one of the pics) had on his yellow DOT class 2 high viz vest on. Camera had a night setting so it's darker than it looks. But the Bell man said that the only thing he saw of my buddy and anyone was the reflective strips. That included the AT&T orange vests.
Reflective stickers are the key. As for high viz yellow. We have a saying about that at our work. The Yellow is so they can find the body after it's been hit.
