How to choose a reflective vest?

For sports who train outdoors in the dark morning or at dusk, the reflective vest is essential to be visible. Safety first!

 

  1. It must have reflective materials

Or rather “retro reflected material,” that is to say, which reflect the light in the direction of the source. Thus, reflective materials attached to the clothes become shining lights and at night when they are in the axis of a beam of light (car headlights, illuminated windows, flashlights, etc.).

 

  1. 360 ° visibility

To be sure to be well visible during his night out, a jacket with reflective material is selected on the front, sides and rear. Then ensures that the reflective surfaces are sufficient (a small logo or a mini-zip is not enough if we want to be visible 360 ​​°). If it does not, do not hesitate to wear, in addition, arm bands, for example.

 

  1. A reflective jacket has light colors

More color is clear, the greater the chance to be seen when it is dark. Then we opt for light colors and / or fluorescent yellow, white, pink, green … Fluorescent fabrics are brightest, especially in low light conditions. They are more visible than non-fluorescent colors at dawn and dusk, offering better contrast with most backgrounds.
