Maybe everyone already knows this, but you can order high vis running bibs, armbands, bag covers, bags etc from RSA, all completely free
http://rsa.pmms.ie/ProductDetails.aspx?Option=Group&OptionParameter=HIVIS

I got a couple of boxes of bibs this week

Ososlo · 18-10-2013 09:14AM

That's fantastic! Thanks raycun

rob w · 18-10-2013 10:12AM

Picked up a few bits myself too, thanks for the link!

career_move · 18-10-2013 04:11PM

Thanks a mill for that Ray. Was looking to buy a high vis running vest last year but I didn't find one and now I've got me one for free. Sweet

is this only for clubs?, asked for Organisation.

FrClintPower · 18-10-2013 04:30PM

Thanks for the link, I've ordered a few bits there myself.

Nice one Thanks Ray

crisco10 · 18-10-2013 07:41PM

Pretty sweet, very tempting to go mad and put in big quantities! but that would be against the spirit of it I feel.

Nice one RayCun

G3467 · 18-10-2013 08:10PM

Thanks for the info. I registered with them and ordered a few of the high-vis items. Cheers.:)

Is it hanging on the order page right at the end for anyone else?

EDIT: Damn, the little "order confirmed" window wasn't coming up on the first browser I tried. Hopefully they don't get 5 orders from me thinking I'm taking the piss.

SCOOP 64 · 18-10-2013 11:43PM

I gor a email after order saying this,

Thank you for your order.

Your order with RSA Reference (xxxx), has had the following update:

Order sent for approval. The approval can take 48 hours, and you will be notified as soon as it is.

Does this mean you might not get them?

Depends if your order is for loads of items for personal use etc, they want to make sure it's a genuine order.

Just 4, one each for the family.

bag covers,

Anyone who rides a bike should have one of these. It's amazing how a dull black bag on your back hides the nice reflective hi-vis jacket you have underneath.

simon255 · 20-10-2013 12:23PM

Thanks for sharing this

new parent · 21-10-2013 11:18AM

Thanks RayCun for this great info. I used the old fashioned method of phoning up and placed an order for the whole family to be decked out in hi vis all for free. Lots of you posters are very generous sharing these wonderful tidbits with us new people - MANY thanks.

SCOOP 64 · 22-10-2013 02:23PM

Just got email that my order has been approved, thanks op.

crisco10 · 22-10-2013 02:43PM

Same here. Someone in the RSA is wondering where this rush came from!

martyboy48 · 22-10-2013 09:28PM

My orders been approved too... Thanks again RayCun:)

Cabaal · 23-10-2013 01:36PM

Got mine in the post today

rob w · 23-10-2013 09:45PM

Mine arrived too!:D

FrClintPower · 24-10-2013 03:11PM

Got mine today too, so it arrived in 4 working days. While I think it's great that they're giving it out for free, I was surprised that it was delivered by courier, surely that has to cost more than just sticking it in the normal post?

career_move · 24-10-2013 03:26PM

Ya I got mine today by courier

They'll probably hike up VRT or similar to offset the recent surge in demand for high vis stuff

You'd be surprised - using the likes of Nightline or Fastway for parcels can often work out cheaper than standard parcel post, especially if they negotiated a good rate for this exercise.

Exactly. Especially within dublin, there are plenty of companies undercutting An post, especially if you give them lots of business.

leahyl · 24-10-2013 04:21PM

This is excellent - I just came across this thread and ordered myself a few vests and and arm bands - no excuse now

Btw whats the difference between a running bib and a vest?

vests have cut-out armholes by the looks of it

Good to know!

mikemac1 · 26-12-2013 09:45PM

Small bump

Put in an order, thanks OP

I've no idea if the stock is gone but they have another campaign for 200,000 hi vis jackets for OAP's so they seem to buy plenty when they launch a campaign
