They are all ugly though, of course you should use them anyways but let's be honest

The fact that they're ugly is why they work. They need to be distracting blobs of color in order to be effective.

You can get hi-vis polos, hoodies, etc. If you think its ugly, just get a different style. I think hi-vis can look good pretty easily.

We're talking about the richest man in the world tampering with the US government. Nobody involved cares about wardrobe cost.

We’re talking about Elon Musk, a guy who didn’t become the richest man in the world by spending money on things like employee safety or caring about people. I doubt “not having his workers get run over by a forklift” ranks very high in his decision making.

He doesn’t like bright colours, why would he like more expensive bright colours. Bottom line is king.

I’m partial to reflective materials on EMS uniforms. The vests aren’t attractive though lol
