Abstract
A reversible garment comprises first and second surfaces, each of which are capable of forming an outer surface of the garment when worn in reversible configurations. The first surface is generally ordinary in appearance while the second surface is highly visible. The reversible garment is preferably a bicycle jacket. The second surface may at least partially comprise a material that is reflective, bright in color, or luminescent. The second surface may be comprised of an elastic material to make the garment close-fitting in a high-visibility configuration.
