Visible Clothing for Inclement Weather

[Jules]

Do you dress with the intent of being seen in inclement or dark weather?

With short daylight hours and dismal weather, many of the people involved in pedestrian accidents are wearing dark clothing.

Lately I’ve been looking for a non-neutral winter coat. Red would be great but so far haven’t seen anything warm enough.

If it’s dusk, I wear my reflective vest. There are lots of little flashing devices that we can carry. Unfortunately they work best in non-urban setting and just get lost in city lights and traffic

For rain my travel umbrella is multi-coloured with flowers. It’s ugly but stands out vs the standard black ones that blend into the dismal day.

Too bad more umbrellas don’t have reflective markings. Some have a few stripes.

I think it's an excellent thing to do, intentionally, for multiple reasons.

Especially if one is near any road or driveway (or bike path, etc)
But even when not, especially if there is any danger at all, of slipping and falling, and then, not being seen, or noticed.
