One of the most important technologies coming out is an improvement in reflective materials. Being visible to cars, cyclists and pedestrians mean the difference between life or a new date. Most cyclists know enough to have a rear and front light on their bike when riding in low-light conditions, but the addition of reflective materials on their clothing can make them even more visible. Runners often try to fit their training time into a hectic day by running at dawn or dusk and many think wearing white will help them be seen. In the beam of a car’s headlight, reflective material can be seen at much greater distances than a white shirt, giving drivers more time to react. The new and exciting 3M Scotchlight reflective material uses retroflective material. Just like the eyes of a cat its especially designed to return lights back directly to its original source. This is done by using glass beads and prismatic technologies. Whats next? 360 visibility, yes front, back and from the side. 3M you have me sold, but buyers beware and make sure to look your best, you will be seen at every angle!
