The rider is a big part of a motorcycle's visual presence, and wearing bright or reflective safety gear is an easy way to stand out.

Choose light colored gear, and try to find jackets and pants that are treated with a reflective finish. Some apparel now comes with a reflective finish that's only visible at night, adding an element of style to safety gear.
