Yes, I seen vests too. but often the work can be hot but the mandatory protective is still required.
Another issue is who issues the jackets? Not likely that the user purchases them themselves.

I wear hi-vis stuff if I am out walking early mornings or after dark - it is only fair to the motorists to make myself visible.

Re: Why Do Some People Wear Hi-Vis Jackets All Year Round?

Art is right, because I brought this up some years ago when I first noticed the trend.

And as for men wearing shorts in winter. Yup, see them around here. If popping outside the front door at night with Holly to let her do a wee, and I can't be bothered to get dressed again, I slip a coat on over my belted dressing gown, and I'm usually FREEZING!! Especially when she spends minutes sniffing round for the right spot. So how on earth these people can be comfortable walking the streets in shorts, just beats me.

Re: Why Do Some People Wear Hi-Vis Jackets All Year Round?

Thank You Morti and Jazzi for confirming l haven’t lost the plot....yet!

I remember a few years ago, posting on here about an elderly lady behind me in the queue at the checkout in Tescos. She was wearing a Hi-Vis jacket which seemed a bit odd at the time and she was holding a carrier bag.
As, l was taking my receipt from the cashier, l turned to smile at the elderly lady. Just then she her lost grip of one of the handles of the carrier bag, exposing loads and loads of money notes in the bag.

Maybe they're considered the height of fashion in certain circles.

And Poundland sell them for £1, you can't argue with that.

Eton boy endorses them.

Good point. I see a few here with their dogs in the evenings or early mornings. I have a couple of them in my shed but don't wear them at night - the risk factor.
