Mounted search and rescue

[Andrew Hennell <andrew@hennell.com.au>]

here in the state of New South Wales, Australia - our State Emergency
Service (www.ses.nsw.gov.au) has very bright orange (with reflective
striping) cold-weather jackets which are very warm.  I can dig mine out
of my cupboard (it's summer here) and find the manufacturer for you if
you like (email me direct - andrew@hennell.com.au).

My preference for riding, however, would be a bright reflective vest
that you put over whatever cold-weather jacket the rider wants.  That
would allow them to wear what is comfortable for them - taking into
account their body shape, what insulation they need, comfort, etc.  Also
much cheaper.

Cheers,
Andrew
