A safety garment with integrated earplugs designed to provide both hearing protection and high-visibility to the user in a single garment. The safety garment with integrated earplugs includes a garment, such as a vest or sweatshirt, designed to enclose a user's torso, with a neck aperture along a top end designed to receive a head and neck therethrough and a pair of arm apertures on opposing sides, wherein each arm aperture is designed to receive an arm therethrough. A reflective material is disposed along an exterior surface of the garment, such that the garment qualifies as a high-visibility safety garment. Additionally, a cord having a pair of opposing ends is affixed to the garment, wherein an earplug is affixed to each end of the cord. In this way, a user is able to wear a single garment that provides both high visibility to the user and has hearing protection attached.

A half mitten apparatus to safely demonstrate motorist hands during a traffic stop includes a first half-mitten, a second half-mitten, and a flexible connector. The first half-mitten and the second half-mitten each comprises a visually accentuating outer layer, an inner layer, a finger receiving receptacle, and an eyelet. The visually accentuating outer layer is externally connected about the inner layer that delineates the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet traverses through the visually accentuating outer layer and the inner layer, adjacent to an opened end of the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet of the first half-mitten and the eyelet of the second half-mitten are tethered into each other by the flexible connector as the flexible connector fastens both the first half-mitten and the second half-mitten within the close proximity of each other.
