Sure, making yourself more visible doesn't make you any more visible. Stands to reason.

Mostly Crap News.
Exile71 wrote: | statistically more people wearing vests have accidents than those not. |
Which, even if true (MCN), says nothing since as you note, we don't know what proportion wear and don't wear hi-vis.
Even the comprehensive MAIDS study (https://www.maids-study.eu/pdf/MAIDS2.pdf) couldn't draw any conclusions, although it concluded that the majority of riders involved in accidents weren't wearing conspicuous clothing.
That may have changed since then. Got MCN link, or statistics?

You could, if you were absolutely determined to invent reasons to justify wearing Stealth Ranger Black.
I have never, not once, made a riding decision based on the colour of clothes that I was wearing. It's a ludicrous suggestion.
This is in contrast to what helmet I'm wearing. I do accept that open face makes you more aware of your vulnerability, and that full face might have a risk compensation cost.
However, if you ever catch me wearing a POLITE vest, I fully endorse you running me into a ditch. It'll be the least I deserve. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
