I have a Scorpion helmet in the Hi-Vix green/yellow, and after a ride one day where we got somewhat separated in traffic one of the guys said that he could see my helmet above the traffic when I was about a mile ahead of him. He and a few others went out and got some more-visible gear. I still have to occasional idiot that tries to merge into me, but far fewer than there use to be. My wife wears an Olympia riding suit in Hi-Viz, along with a bright yellow helmet. I had to settle for the grey suit (if I didn't want to wait for a long time for the Hi-Viz in my size to come in), but the helmet is definitely visible.
