You really haven't had fun until you have tried to find your way back to your test equipped with a light grey fly in falling snow; or tried to locate your white Suburban in thick fog.

When cycling I can guarantee bright colors are a safety issue.

Thinking back to the 70s and "rescue orange," one of the best all time garments I had was a light down jacket that was reversible - loden green on one side and screaming bright brilliant rescue orange on the other. Choose the color to fit the situation.
