They help without a doubt, especially when raining at night with less visibilty.
Makes a big difference wearing a decent well made hi-vis singlet with a zip though, rather than using those crappy flappy builders ones that are shite over 10mph.
That's a fair point darrsi, luckily the one I've got seems up to the job even in strong wind and rain. It's only two strips of velcro but it holds together well . . . Probably because it's not been washed yet!

The one i've been using for quite a while now is really well made and quite a heavy material for what it is, so doesn't budge at any speeds whatsoever. I've even tried it with just a t-shirt underneath in extremely hot weather and it still doesn't move.
It has adjustable sides to accommodate any size jacket, although i actually replaced the woven elastic for some with a bit more give as i wear a large textile jacket which is rather bulky.
Must've had it a good 5 years now and it's not wearing out or broken anywhere, plus they do it in orange too if you wanna be a bit different. Money well spent in my opinion.
