Recommendation for High Visibility Rashguards

(1/2) > >>

Bulky:
Trying to take reasonable steps to stay safe on my morning solo paddles out on the ocean, as I need some new rashguards, I figure it wouldn't hurt to get some in hi-vis orange or green.

Surprisingly, nothing pops up very quickly in my internet searches.  I usually buy the Victory Koredry stuff but they have just standard colors.

Any recommendations out there?

hbsteve:
Xcel Wetsuits usually has lifeguard yellow.  Also try Vapor Appreal.

JimK:
SUPreme has a florecent yellow Lety me know what size you are looking for

Wetstuff:
Bulky,  Why not a simple flagman's vest? ...those meet all kinds of Hi-Vis specs for cheap.  Use your regular rashie or rubber for comfort.

Bulky, I just wear a red hat. The problem with that is all the power boaters think I'm a buoy and use me as a turning mark.  ;D  But seriously, they do anyways with or without high visibility gear. What's up with that? A wide open ocean and they have to clear me by 50 feet.
