I have a Belgian Baleno jacket that I bought in the UK. They're practically standard uniform for despatch riders (m/c messengers) there. The only online link I could find was: http://www.sioen.be/eng/products/apparel/aindex.htm Which doesn't have my exact jacket, but I did buy it 6+ years ago. Follow the link and click on "high visibility clothing". That what you're looking for? Tony.
