It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Same as title, looking for the essential hi-vis gear. I don't plan on riding at night but sometimes you're out a bit too late.

I have a reflective harness kinda like this with my gear for night riding. Extremely compact, but still gives relatively good reflective coverage.
But obviously it lacks a lot in the neon green/orange part.

Oh, also, you can get black reflective tape/patches, I use the ones from Prym. You can cut and slap these on almost everything to make your gear and/or scooter reflective without it actually looking like it during the day.

Not bad, thanks for the link!
