Winter brings short days and long hours of darkness, and being visible becomes a safety issue for walkers, runners and cyclists. Jackets with reflective details help drivers see you from further away.
Reflective strips on the sleeves, back and hem catch headlights and make the moving shape of a person easier to recognize. Placing reflective material on arms and legs is especially effective because the motion draws attention.
Bright colors help in daylight and in fog or snow, while reflective trim does the work at night. Combining both gives the best result.
If your favorite jacket has no reflective features, add a reflective band or a small clip-on light. A few minutes of preparation can make every winter journey safer.
