  • Another exemplary dangerous situa- tion is a cyclist or a pedestrian walking in cases of bad visibility.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a garment which is quick and easy to manufacture.
  • the present invention provides a garment for being worn over ordinary clothing to attract the attention of a third person to a wearer.
  • the garment comprises a back panel and a front panel extending straight down from the shoulders of the wearer, with an opening at the shoulders to accomodate the neck of the wearer.

  • the front panel is configured to cover the chest and the left and right arms of the wearer.
  • means are provided for connecting the back and front panels to each other at both sides of the wearer's waist such that, when the coat is being worn by a person, said back and front panels are held close to the wearer's body.
  • the garment of this invention is lightweight and allows full freedom of movement. Further, it can be quickly and easily donned in any situation. For instance, a car driver can easily slip the inventive garment on, while still sitting in the car. This insures that, on leaving his car the driver can be clearly noticed by the drivers of oncoming cars, thereby reducing considerably the chances of the wearer being hit.
  • the garment is advantageously made of a supple material, preferably of a fluorescent and/or reflective material, whereby the wearer is perfectly visible to a third person whatever the environment may be, e.g. on highways, dark or poorly enlightened places such as underground car parks, works, yards, warehouses, etc.
  • the garment panels are prevented to be raised by the wind or by an air blast.

They are only provided at waist level so as to leave ample space between the front and back panels for allowing easy passage of and free movement for the wearer's arms while ensuring that the garment completely covers the wearer's body.
  • the garment shown in Figs. 2 and 3 can be quickly and easily donned by a user.
  • the user only has to unfasten the front fastener means when so provided and to wrap the garment round the shoulders.
