i see people wearing fluorescent jackets. in the day time, this seems like the most visible color.
but at night, wouldn;t white be better? or/plus something reflective?

Yes, you are quite right.

A lot of night gear does have reflective strips on. Mine does. :-)

I have a jacket made of Illuminite: illuminite.comindex.aspOpen ↗ . It's supposedly reflective
across its entire area. I bought it from Performance a while back, when they combined yellow fabric
with the Illuminite coating. It appears that they've gone back to putting the Illuminite on dark
fabric- stylish, but less visible in low-light (dusk) conditions.

Large swatches of white/bright colors are most visible in most lighting conditions. Reflectivity
helps- but it shouldn't be relied upon.
