reflective at night, hi viz in day time~!
« on: October 06, 2023, 06:07:15 PM »


I'm a believer~!
Three times this morning the reflective strips on my sleeve were used to wave cars past in the dark.
The chex on the helmet are black in the daylight.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Nice!

Why are you waving by so many cars?
Just interested because 3 in one morning is a lot!👍😄

I have a white helmet (when i wear a helmet!🤪) which i think helps visibility day or night.

No doubt your reflective jacket is super visible- day or night!

When it comes to visibility driving with your lights on full beam in the day is essential, low beam at night. But I think extra lighting can hurt - even cool colorful under frame/wheel lighting is good!

Typo…correction….on my previous reply it should have read ‘extra lighting CAN’T hurt!’  Not can hurt!

Luckily my riding skill outweigh my typing skills….😄🛵
