People don't "not see you" because they can't see you, they don't see you because they don't fucking look.

All the high-vis shit in the world isn't going to help that.

Agree with this 100%.
Question: Is it required for military riders? I live near an AF base, and I notice every single rider has some form of reflective gear on.

Yes, reflective is required for military.

I'm considering getting a mesh first gear jacket and will get day glo if I buy anything.

Agreed. You just look like a fucking tool with your Day-Glo on.
