I've clicked 'other' (just to be difficult) as I mix 'n' match - I have various things in yellow, orange and pink and I try to incorporate at least one of each colour each time I ride, so no one could possibly miss us!!

Sorry K8, you'll need to have 2 sets! Pink for Summer to show up against the leaves and yellow for Winter conditions!

I'm with Lesley and Jenna, need various colours, it's not only about being seen on roads but off road too in case of accidents. If you fell in a rape seed field you would be quite well camoflarged in yellow. I have both yellow and pink for me and horse, and have had some really nice coments about my pink brushing boots and even though I'm not a pink person they looked really good on my dark brown pony. She also had a yellow breast strap and a pink and yellow tail guard. It was the yellow breast strap which allowed my friend to find her in the woods when I had a nasty fall and she ran off in panic, it was Christmas eve a few years ago.

Im sure I read somewhere that scientifically it had been proven that yellow high viz was registered by the brain x amount of seconds or points of a second, before any other colour - cant remember the actual figure - and thats why it is used so widely eg police / services - but cant for the life of me remember where I saw this.
So yellow for me too. ;D
