Being seen doesn\’t have to be geeky but if you\’re riding about at this time of year you need all the help you can get. Oxford Products carry a good range of affordable reflective, high-viz and LED garments to help you stand out. Like the back pack cover on the top of my GTS luggage for instance…

 

These waterproof backpack covers are an easy way to get yourself noticed and to give your rucksack some extra protection from the rain and road grime.

 

Although I\’m not really a big fan of high-viz, I do use one of these to cover the luggage strapped to the back of my scooter whilst touring through countries where the use of high-viz is either encouraged, or enforced. If it saves me the agro of getting pulled over I\’m all for it. Obviously you can also use one whilst wearing a back pack on your normal day-to-day commute. 

 

 

High viz

 

The back pack covers come in a choice of three colours, black, orange and yellow, cost £14.99 and measure 460mm x 260mm x 140mm. You can see them (and other bright goodies) at: Oxford Products but most decent scooter shops can order them in.
