Orange Safety Vest Car Repair Biking Walking Jogging Rescue Security Visibility

Description: Wisdom Creek Trading Company Howdy and Welcome to Wisdom Creek. Today I want to help you get one of our Brand New Bright neon orange safety vests. It's a Great day here on Wisdom Creek and I’m wearing one of these now because this listing has a lot of traffic; So saddle up and lets get started! I used to wear a lot of camouflage but, it caused me a lot of problems. Hunters shot at me, Motorists ran me over, The Search and Rescue guys passed me by and I could never find that long sleeve shirt I hung on the tree to dry. I wanted to switch to fluorescent blaze orange but when I wore those plastic vests I was hot. No, I don’t mean I looked incredibly sexy in it. I mean they didn’t breath and I was sweating in about 30 seconds. The vest came off and I was not safe. Then I got a hold of these vests. They are comfortable, lightweight and breathable. Most importantly they save lives. Why is it we are all real good at buying things we don’t need? Like that extra beer, potato chips or that inside the shell egg scrambler. Yet, we aren’t real good about buying things we should have like a fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, a good pair of scissors and of course bright orange safety vests. We tend to neglect those things which may save life or limb and squander our dollars on all the other stuff that doesn't help us. You may ask “Why would I ever need an orange Safety vest?” To which I answer; “You’ve never changed a tire on the Highway at night have you?” It is a downright frightening experience. You’ll wish you had also worn a fluorescent adult sized diaper when that Semi blasts by at 75 MPH because your going to….Well you get the picture. Fluorescent orange seems to scream “Don’t run me over!” and “Rescue Me First!”. If they didn’t work they wouldn’t be standard issue for Police, Fire, Road Construction, Runway personnel and those teenagers who guide you to park as far away as possible from the entrance to the concert or amusement park. Truth is, I own several of these vests and I keep 2 in the glove box of each car. 1 for me and 1 for the Misses. (If she gets run over who’s going to hold the flashlight? The Highway patrol? or the paramedics that are there cleaning up the mess?) Fat Chance. I need her. And they aren’t just for breakdowns either. We’ve been the first on scene at many accidents and I can just pull it out of the glove box, with the first aid kit, and throw it on. I don’t want to get run over while I’m at an accident scene looking for that loose change that was flung from the ashtrays and consoles of those vehicles when they collided, especially at night. (I’m just kidding.) Seriously, I don't want to get hurt helping others because that helps no one. So I wear the vest. We always keep one in our survival packs when we hike out of camp. If something goes wrong I want search and rescue to be able to see me. Safety experts claim that the distance at which a person is “clearly visible” is increased by 2 ½ times with the vest on. That kind of improvement can save a life. The reflective stripes can be seen from even further away than that, increasing your safety, especially at night. Think of that extra distance as how far your body will be thrown if you get hit by a car. C’mon, sure they look silly but, they make sense. My Motorcycle helmet is a pain, My seatbelt isn’t comfortable and My life jacket when I water ski doesn’t make me look any thinner. Have you ever seen a flattering pair of safety goggles? No. But I’m not going without them. I don’t go without a safety vest either. There are only 2 reasons the government would require them to be worn by workers in hazardous environments. One is that they work and two the politician is getting a kickback from the orange vest manufacturer. (The answer is probably both.) This vest is made of an extremely lightweight mesh and is a 2 XL. It will fit anyone from 5 foot 5 to 6 foot 6, with a chest measurement from 38 inches to 51 inches. It has a Velcro closure in the front. It comes in a variety of colors. (Ha! Gotcha! It’s an orange vest. That is the only color it can come in.) I don’t care if people look at me and say “Did you see that moron in the orange vest?” Of course they did. That shows that the vest is working. This concludes another fine value offered here on Wisdom Creek.
