In your experience, is it the one that specifically tells the cars pass wide and slow, the ones saying you're on camera or the polite range or anything else?
rachk89, orange is THE most visible in hi-viz, hence used for working services (rail repair gangs, motorsport marshalls etc, etc). It does need the 'silvering' stripes on arms & body to really work best on the road.
The yellow is probably the best on the road, unless mid summer when people can still blend in with surroundings, thats when I pop on the orange so can still be seen.
If at all foggy, then I will don my orange hi-viz jacket too instead of the yellow.
OP, I find a std Dickies workers Hi-Viz with striping on arms and round body, works well with most traffic, along with having hi-viz yellow brushing boots behind too
Never ever wear anything such as L plates or vest with message on saying "young horse in training" as you are admitting liability straight away in case of an accident
This is a myth.
Ditto!
If I am totally honest as little hi viz as you can get away with . there is a phenomena called hi viz blindness which is well known in H&S were if it becomes to common a sight your mind ignores it. I know I will get shot down for that .

I have to say fatty and H wearing a polite rugs stops the traffic like nothing else two ID's two abreast they look like police horses .
