There are quite a few different options, i think zipped front is a given, Carpe logo back and front (breast)
Do we want names on them?
Any other suggestions or ideas?

Moose,
I noticed this zipped Hi-Vis vest when I was in the workwear shop getting the Aviemore T shirts done.
Normally they are just Velcro, but I was looking for a zipped front.
I asked him to put the same logo on the back, I just googled Yamaha Logo in the shop and he picked a suitable size.
Simples ...
I am not that bothered on my name being on the front for UK use. But for Germany
Cheers, Ivan

I tried wearing a high vis jacket when on my DT125,. as loads of twats were pulling out in front of me etc. but it made no difference.
Just expect the twats to pull out in front of you, if they've not seen your headlight then what hope have you got anyway?
Dunno, just my onions

I always wear the yellow jacket. If it makes one twat see me and not try to kill me it is worth it.

I'm still wearing my Viz Vest that Ivan sorted, great bit of kit with loads of pockets.
I wanted it because of the zipper as velcro simply undoes.
But!, have to use a safety pin as the zipper comes undone above 80

I have spoken to several people about them and many have said that the cheap ones don't last and many have had zips coming undone issues.
So with that in mind I'm thinking along the lines of the Oxford ones that sell for about £30 but hopefully we might be able to get a good discount for a larger order.
I'm awaiting a call today re printing costs so will report back with that.
So what's ya onions on these?
