Tinwolf relective motorcycle vest

I don't know about you, but I like to be more clearly seen at night - hence my wearing a helmet with reflective stickers and my jacket also has reflective panels. But there are a lot of jackets out there that do not have this feature - so you're literally hidden from short-sighted (and possibly night-blind) car drivers.

Of course, the simple solution is either a Sam Browne belt or one of those yellow reflective jackets. Trouble is, they don't look good (unless you're trying to impersonate a traffic cop!). Tinwolf make reflective vests, but the reflective panel is patterned, so you can have something like skull and crossbones or whatever. In the photos shown in this link, they've recreated the Moto Morini logo. I reckon they've done a nice job of this.

So if you want to be seen, but want to wear something a little more stylish, then this might be the answer.

I have to admit, im not keen on the stupid looking safety stuff but this looks great

, where do you get in NZ? Im guessing you have to do the picture thing yourself? Maybe a KB one could be a possibility.

:edit: they come in the pics, i should have actually read past the first line.

Hm. I like those. Very sensible. I wonder if someone will import them.

I sold one yesterday, as the rider (who shall remain nameless) rode off, in the dark and with her man following closely behind, the jacket was like that one in the photo......i had never seen it at night but wholy fuck, i think that if a cager (or biker for that matter) was go high beam on a straight thinking there was nothing ahead, then that person would could read Yamaha from 200 mts. I got it in from the states late last year......

According to Tinwolf's website, it is £30 per vest plus £5 p&p - though it'd be worth checking to make sure that does cover international orders.

Might also be worth - if you guys are genuinely interested - in seeing if there would be enough that would like the KB logo shown - and what the cost would be... or indeed if there would be any discount for bulk ordering. Don't ask, don't find out and all that!

If you do go back to him, it'd be nice if you could mention the review on Motobke.co.uk, as it is handy if they know where their product was seen.

I'd like to make it clear that I do NOT earn a single penny from any orders, I was sent the review by a happy customer and reckoned it was a good product.
