I had no desire to be unnecessarily pedantic but it does help if we are all talking about the same thing. When I think hi-vis it is definitely highlighter pen colours with reflective stripes.
And yes we agree I don't tend to buy the stuff because it is only useful on the bike. No-one would be seen dead in it elsewhere and that's a problem if you are riding to somewhere rather than just going out for a ride.
