Cyclists should be familiar with this debate, as it is closely mirrors the bicycle helmet debate.
Seems like it should work, and there is some weak evidence that it is better than nothing, but mostly we wear it as a talisman to ward off evil car-spirits. Despite weak evidence (because of it?) opinions run strong, and some cycling forums have to ban the subject in the interest of civility.
