A little incongrous to say the least. Just been handed an old copy of equestrian business monthly- not of heard of it and was flicking through.

There is a section on be seen be safe and wearing hi vis, both riders are hi vised up but one is wearing a poorly fitting beagler and jeans lol. Not sure completely getting the point across there!

Well if the point was about hi viz safety, and they are wearing hi viz clothing, I would say the message had been put across?

only cos they keep going on about saving peoples lives. Don't want to get into a full on beagler discussion but person in said pic seems to be struggling to see out.

Just thought it was a bit odd if you are dressing people up for promo pics and let me have a little giggle.

But obviously you see the irony? Ester is saying the whole point of high viz is to be safer on the roads and try not to get hit by a car, but if you fall off in a beagler you may be screwed anyway.

If it's a trade magazine then it has a slightly different audience. Perhaps the image was supplied by a hi-viz company, therefore the emphasis was on their hi-viz products.
