Been trawling the web looking for high-viz jersey's to no avail. Don't really want tabbards or sam-brown type stuff, looking for something I can wear instead of a "normal" jersey that won't make me look like I'm on my way to work a night shift, something cool-looking but funtional. Do any of the pro-race teams wear stand-out colours like hig viz green or yellow?

Little help please.

    Fluo colours dont really stay very fluo with washing.

    Best bet would be to get a fluo gilet and bung that over your top - as you dont need to wash that as much as you'd need to wash a sweaty jersey.

    JJB sell them for under a tenner.

    Yeh, that may be the only option, was hoping to avoid that look though.

    Thanks anyway

    You're welcome - just to note, reflectives are far more effective in the dark than Hi Viz. Hi Viz is good in daylight and pre-dusk dull period. Some of those jerseys may have some reflective bits, but I would still recommend additional reflective stuff at night.

    Wow, the neoni (alfablue's 3rd & 4th links) is really, really ugly. I want one.
