Looking for gold dust it seems.

Can any one recommend one please.

The main thing is pockets as I need to keep car fob and phone on me. The one I have is padded and far too warm just now! I really like the look of the fitted Equisafety ones but unfortunately I’m not a fan of the ‘polite’ at the back. If it comes to it then I’ll buy it.

I’ve got a HY one, it’s only got one Velcro chest pocket which might not be enough for what you want? It fits my phone, that’s all I take. It was very cheap but is light mesh kind of fabric so I wear it in summer easily.

They do ones without the Polite wording. I’ve got an older style with Please pass wide and slow on it.

This is a good idea. I bought a really small money type bumbag, the kind you take on holiday so keep a bit of cash in!
It was great as it was so small it didn’t bounce round.
I only thought of it as I saw a hi vis one whilst looking for the link above!

I too wear a travel purse belt for keys and wallet. About 20 years ago I was given a (staff issue) high viz waistcoat by the YO at the hacking centre where I rode. It is not fitted. It is very light, with velcro fastening and no zips or pockets.
I still wear it. Riding gear seems to last for years. I also still wear a navy summer polo shirt printed with the name of my very first riding school.

I’ve got an adjustable one by equisafety (please pass wide and slow) and a “camera in use” one by v-bandz, both can be adjusted with Velcro to make them fit and both have good size pockets. Out of the two I’d say the v-bandz one is my favourite and is extremely reflective.

I just use the high viz waistcoats designed for runners, cheap, thin, bright and come with nice secure zip-up pockets. To be honest, I'd like one in blue for schooling so I can still keep my phone on me and use Equilab, but I haven't found one yet.
ETA- Well that's just depressing, just discovered the one I use was from JJB sports who are long gone and no one else seems to make them now. Sorry, I'm no help whatsoever.
