I get stares where ever I go with my textile motorcycle jacket. Hi-Vis will do that for you. 
Ofcourse I get similar stares walking into a store in bicycling shorts and a hi-vis jersey. Good thing I don’t care. 
The advantages of being older with wife and kids is we don’t have to care what others think. Young a single you have to worry much more about peers and girls (or guys).
My wife says I look like robocop in my full gear, but she puts up with it because it helps keep me safe.
