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

This thread has been an eye opener and not just because it's high visibility! I didn't realise high vis were the shell suits of the new decade. Thanks Art for highlighting this issue

I don't see the jackets at all, but I do occasionally see the vests.

We have a couple thousand retired snowbirds who come here for the winter and it seems that this is some kind of mandatory dress .

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

I have a hi vis jumper that my last employer gave me just before I retired. I still wear it occasionally because i don't have that many warm clothes.

It is rarely worn where I live because it doesn't get cold enough but if i go inland it can get very cold especially at night so I wear it when I am travelling.

BTW I retired 13 years ago and the jumper is in very good condition so you can see it doesn't get much use.



The only thing wrong with it is that it has the company logo on it.



But it is better than being cold.

I don't wear shorts all year round but I do for 10 months of the year - July and August can get below 10' in the evening and night

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

These jackets are designed to be "Noticed".

And they are being noticed.

Some people are desperate to be noticed, others do it for safety.

Also, volunteers, at the Vac centres, are getting these jackets free.

Maybe all the ones being noticed are working there?
