Reflective and safety items will be available while supplies last.
To increase your visibility at night, add reflective materials and items, as well as lights (lights are a safety plus!). And, while wearing light-colored or florescent clothing is the better option compared to dark clothing, including reflection to your everyday wardrobe is essential to visibility during low-light hours.
There are lots of ways to add shine:
- Wear clothing and accessories with reflective material. It's common to find reflective material on outerwear and accessories such as coats, jackets, scarves, caps, gloves hats and umbrellas. Looks for these items with a high amount of brightness and reflective material.
- Add a reflective vest over your regular coat or jacket. It's easy to throw a reflective vest or sash over your clothing. You can find these items at construction, outdoor, sports and bike stores.
- Slap a reflective band on your arm, leg or ankle. Using reflective slap bands is a really easy way to add reflection to your body. These show 360° movement, which can be seen from all angles and is more likely to attract the attention from drivers. Some bands include lights, which is even better.
- Add reflectors and lights. Add flexible reflectors with Velcro to purses, helmets, laptop cases, shoes, zipper pulls and backpacks. Lights come in all sizes—there are ones specific to bikes and wheelchairs, and smaller ones for strollers, backpacks and purses. The possibilities are endless.
