I fear that you chaps are failing to treat this issue with the seriousness it deserves. Are you the kind of flippant fools who would make their aeroplane go upside down, risking the famed 'dive of death', with little thought for those beneath? Cads!

My quest for a deeper understanding of high vis issues had lead me to ponder the question of standards.

Is there an EU standard for tabards? Why is the full specification not more readily accessible to those amongst us who hold a deep concern for safety issues? Should I, for example, purchase a sub-standard tabard from a disreputable trader, how would I know? Surely a publication is called for listing the important features I should look out for when shopping for flight safety items.

Can anyone help, or must I turn to the BBC's most excellent 'Watchdog' programme for advice?

Yours, Coriolis xx
