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.
