Childrens Hi Vis jacket / top

Villan11 · 01-10-2019 1:06pm #1

Hi All,

Daughter joined the local running club and is quite rightly made to wear a high vis vest when on the roads. She doesn't like it as it's baggy and "slows her down", which I totally understand. I am trying to buy her a yellow hi-vis top or jacket but so far am coming up blank.

Any suggestions?

The free bibs are fine once you get the right size.

Thanks All,
Unfortunately the RSA seem to be out of stock of their vests. I did see those jackets on SportsDirect, looks perfect but they don't have the right size. I might try some on of their stores and see if they have any in stock there.

Maybe try your local Garda station, sometimes they have a stash of RSA vests.

I have a couple of mesh vests similar to that one, which I find really good:

They are made out of mesh and unlike the RSA vests you don't even notice them because they really weigh practically nothing. I'd expect size is not really an issue unless your daughter is still very small.
