Reflective clothing mandatory?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is anywhere in the world where the wearing of
specific reflective or hi-vis clothing is mandatated for cycling (either for
adults or children)? This is not a question about the standard
lighting/reflectivity requirements for the bicycle as a vehicle itself, but
rather on the rider's attire.

I've certainly never heard of such a thing, and I've been interested in
night riding issues for a long time.

I doubt such a law would exist, simply because reflective clothing is
very rare.

Also, reflective clothing mostly sucks except for those saftey vests with
reflective tape.

That's what I'm talking about - I was wondering if they have been made
mandatory anywhere. If if anyone knows of any jurisdictions that have even
attempted to make them mandatory. (helmets were pretty rare once too, but
since they've been made mandatory here, they're not rare anymore...)

In spain you can put the reflecting stuff ether on the bike or on your
clothes. But I would not call this mandatory reflective clothing
according to your definition.
