Jackets with reflective stripes began to be produced in the middle of the last century. It was mainly products for people whose profession is connected with work on the road. And later, the world's giants in the manufacture of sportswear began to produce whole collections of models with reflectors for pedestrians, runners, cyclists and motorcyclists. Today, jackets that reflect light are very much in demand and are not only safe, but also very stylish.
How to choose a jacket with reflective elements?
The latest collections of many clothing manufacturers: Nike, Ice Cold, Supreme, The north face, Rapha, Stone Island and others - include jackets, trousers and shoes with reflectors. These elements make it possible to make a person's figure noticeable with poor visibility. To date, there are many fabrication technologies that refract light and reflect it. Therefore, to choose a suitable jacket, you need to consider several factors:
- Why do I need a jacket. If this is a run, then choose light reflective jackets with elements on the sides and back so that the driver of the car can be aware of your parameters. For skiing or walking, winter retro-reflective jackets with stripes on sleeves, pockets and hoods are usually selected.
- Brand and price. Often things that reflect light are worth an order of magnitude more than other clothes. Therefore, when buying a jacket, you need to decide on the manufacturer that suits you. And after pick up the model, color and size.
- The very elements. It is best to choose those models in which the retro-reflective elements have a tissue base - such a thing will last longer. When buying, inspect the surface of the strips, it should be smooth, without cracks or breaks.
Today, manufacturers offer jackets with light-reflecting strips or completely made of reflective fabric, like Nike's. Adidas equips jackets with a reflective mesh, while Stone Island uses liquid reflection technology (sputtering).
