Safety vests can be described as jacket-like sleeveless reflective outwear that are worn by cyclists, outdoor workers and motorists in order to eliminate the risk of getting into an accident due to poor visibility especially at night. The common colors used are yellow and orange and a fusion of white stripes that are necessitated to enhance clear visibility in the dark by reflecting light.
