I'm all for high visibility colors.

As a noob, I think every little bit helps, and it essentially takes no effort. I've got a bright yellow helmet, but a matching jacket is obviously overkill (although i do wear a reflective vest at night). I don't really like the traditional all-black "biker look" and it doesn't suit my bike either. Though I might reconsider if I was on a cruiser or some retro standard like a Bonneville

I have a white icon merc leather jacket on which i painted flourescent orange patterns, and a white full face helmet the same - looks sharp imo and makes a difference on the mean streets. Wear the brightest you can stand

How would you rate a metallic silver helmet, visibility wise?
