It seems that no one is allowed an opinion , it just ends up one big argument, not a discussion. For what it's worth, I gather the makers of these hi viz contraptions assume women don't need to wear them, just try to buy one that fastens on the other side. I have one in my bag, If a particular airfield insists it's worn, so be it, who cares what it looks like. Bet if they made them with Pilot written on the back, everyone would wear them to go out in.
