Hi-vis waistcoat with pockets?

[nikicb]

Has anyone got one, if so where from? Just so I can carry my phone without having to wear a gilet/fleece with a pocket as well in this warmer weather.
Thanks!

My POLITE one has 2 pockets that zip and I will keep on wearing it until I'm taken away in handcuffs

Thanks both! We do very little road work and what we do is on remote country lanes so I won't worry too much about the Polite issues. I just like to have one in case I fall off in the middle of nowhere! Although with all the rapeseed around at the moment, I've been considering getting one that isn't bright yellow.

Who said anything about horses? One needs sustenance, doesn't one?

I have the equisafety one BUT the front zip has never been very good and often opens up when hacking and the tag on the zip on one of the pockets has come off so I only have one good zipping pocket. It's probably about 2/3 years old, I should probably buy a new one!

Got mine of ebay for about 4 quid.

Try googling 'Executive Hi Viz Vest' for hi viz without the silly equestrian prices.

For example:

Apparently 'executives' need pockets

I wear a bright pink one! but alas, no pockets, so I wear a really small shoulder bag slung across the body ;-)

 

[nikicb]

Thanks everyone! Lots of great suggestions. Just off to sort the neds out then will have a look at all the links.

Hmmm. Now wondering whether I should get one with room for a hip flask.

I have an "executive" hi viz with 3 velcro pockets ftom eBay. Don't waste money on equestrian-specific vests as they are a rip off.

 

[little_critter]

I have a Hy one in pink. It has a Velcro pocket. Only problem is I find my phone/keys clank on the pommel when I trot.
So I made my own pocket and sewed it on the chest.

I have a pink zip up vest with zippy pockets from Stockley. Perfect for my phone and no saddle clanking! Only problem is their website isn't working so I can't tell if they still sell them... :-(

Try Hiviz.net. They have executive vests in a range of colours. Cost including postage just over £9
