New ICON milspec vest

[RamminBusa]

Awesome fit, the yellow is the new XXL - 4XL size, the orange is the small-Xlarge. Fits betters over the riding jacket. Also shows up better in the daylight but highly reflective at night.

First pic is just with the garage lights on, second is in the dark with the flash to simulate a cars lights (I hope)

A little overkill since the actual DOD reg says we just need contrasting for day, reflective at night, my normal riding jacket covers this at our base, but that looks like it might be the ticket for warmer areas.

My understanding is that ACC has a regulation that is more restrictive. It specifies a minimum amount of reflective area of 8-9 square inches. ICON built it to that spec.

I wouldn't mine having one of those for night riding.

You not at Fort Bliss, thats for sure

These guys here are nuts...

Reflective jacket does not replace (reflective vest) thats required by post regs

So much for military standards...LOL

I sometimes have a problem here getting in in the morning in the dark. The Reg says reflective vest at night and bright/white during the day. It depends on who is at the gate. I usually wear my Joe Rocket Suzuki championship jacket. Its reflective and bright at the same time. So when I get a newby who tries to stop me I just wave over one of the older guys who know that I control their budget and oversee their program. Then it's just, hey Dave, how's it hangin, have a nice day.

So when I get a newby who tries to stop me.....

I had one give me a fit the other day over my decal. He quoted the requirement of it being on the lower fork leg. I told the OPR must have had a broken crystal ball and did not think that a manufacturer would turn the forks upside down. "Now how long do you think they would last and how much damage would they do if I put them where you want them?" After I drew another mental picture for him, he finally sent me on my way! Contracted guards.....

I never argue with those guys. I just nod my head, say ok, then continue on my way.
