High visibility cycling kit

It’s dark out and high visibility cycling kit is a serious winter must-have. Check out Chloe Walker’s stylish finds to be seen in.

Dark evenings are a sure sign we’re well into winter, which means a lot more hours for night training. When you’re stocking up on your winter sports kit it’s vital that high visibility is a top priority. David Hammond, assistant buyer for seasonal and impulse at Halfords says ‘What matters most when cycling on the road during winter is that you stand out’. When it’s pitch black outside this isn’t exactly easy, so you need high-vis clothing that makes you visible to other road users. The important thing is to make yourself seen, so we’ve found five pieces which let you do this in the most stylish way possible.
