Nice one, Chris.
Its actually quite a pleasant job in many ways ... just a bit of a drag when its on every run.

Last year I borrowed an orange hi viz vest, but that one was really only intended for pedestrian use and as a consequence, the front fastening constantly came undone in the wind blast when riding.
After much fumbling, I eventually resorted to tying the front together, but it still caught the wind badly.
Also, being made of "solid" material, it got rather hot wearing it in the sun.
Hence the plan for a stretchy, close fitting, breathable one.
I'll still go ahead and get one because it will probably come in handy on other rides in the future.
Dunno whether yours is as described above, Chris, but mine will be there to borrow if needed.
