Backpack with reflective tape for camping

The drawbacks are the cross of these advantages, and can be summarized in one: completely sacrifice comfort and functionality against the provision.

A good example is Trail Running backpacks. To avoid being disturbed in the least, they are designed as a safety vest. Clearly, any professional or advanced amateur competition day, you receive benefits.

It is also clear that ordinary users will suffer more during their training or mountain outings, the discomforts and prices to be paid by the high performance benefits obtained from it.

Here we test the backpack Trail Vest Light, Camp of the Italian brand. It is very light, it is designed for performance, but when choosing the design thought of a combination vest and backpack load. It is less radical, less tight, but more comfortable.

Some of us have tried in competition with excellent results, being better the longer the test, due to their capacity and comfort, but its use is extended to all those who enjoy mountain races in a more popular form both participating in them as training or going to the mountain.

We have chosen a very special testator, which can be a symbol of the popular corridor. Thomas, 70, is commonly running trails, hiking and practicing. During his long sporting life, plus large practically climbing, mountaineering and skiing (he is the son of the founder of Mountaineers of Aragon and the scout movement in Aragon), has been a great runner who became runner Decathlon.

His passion for the mountains at his age remains intact, even participating in the Marathon Aneto (where use reflective backpack), and his experience makes him particularly appreciate these nuances that younger we sometimes overlook, concerning the difficult balance between enjoyment and performance.

This is the second backpack vest I use for my regular trips to the mountain to run and make long marches. The above was highly effective, but I must say that I was uncomfortable compression and small load; although I understand that for those looking for the podium or time to be effective, to me, at the end of time, it bothered me more than helped me, and that affected my performance and, above all, to my enjoyment.

When I first got the backpack Trail Vest Light, Camp, the first thing I felt is that the absence of oversized lateral adjustment, leaving the hands adjustment system chest and belly, me “overwhelmed” much less. I felt more comfortable backpack. It remained to be seen how it worked the subject in motion.

It notes that the size backpack. We must choose our own if we want to fit well.

When one hand the backpack for the first time strange. The brand claims that the backpack is 10 liters, but first thinks that capacity is lower because the back is very ergonomic. But then you realize that the front of the backpack has two pockets at the waist, two straps, and two cages and other hitches. I decided to start filling everything, and indeed, it is what fits in a backpack load of 10 liters. But yes: much handier.

The back has two compartments: a pocket on the side closest to the back for a hydration system 3 liters, independent and even that can be accessed without removing the backpack with reflective tapes, and farthest from the main compartment part body, which in turn leads two inner security pockets for important possessions: documents, money, etc.

It also incorporates an ingenious system to load the rods, which allows extracting without stopping. I will elaborate on this later.

School uniform with reflective tape for children’s safety

Each year, the state enterprise conducted research of quality school supplies. But since most of them are not subject to mandatory certification, this year such large-scale test was not. “In order to check any goods to us no one spoke – said” Glared “in the” Ukrmetrteststandard. “- And for their own means, we decided not to. Until this year, we ourselves buy samples for testing and then inform the public about the results “.

This year, for checking the quality of school products took. She has not found a single case when the school uniform can be dangerous to health. “Research within the control of the law” On Protection of Consumer Rights “, showed that the product may be of poor quality, but to represent the danger, these facts were not – told reporters the Acting Head of Market Surveillance of the State Inspectorate of Ukraine on Consumer Protection Nikolai Dmitry. – You cannot argue that it is safe in general, but the products that are tested, and those examinations, which were carried out until the facts of the danger of production of school reflective uniform have not identified. ”

However, the head of the Scientific and Technical Center of conformity assessment, standardization and light industry product testing SE Natalia Popover advises parents to carefully consider the product, check for information about the manufacturer, trademark, address and phone number to search for the enterprise. And on the label must contain the name of the product, the size, and the composition of raw materials, operating conditions and care, the date of manufacture.

When you select a shape necessary to pay attention to the lining – Polyester will soar. According to the rules, the lining 32 uniforms size should be used natural materials – cotton, linen and rayon fibers, and 32 may be sized using fabrics having no more than 50% synthetic fibers.

“School uniforms made of chemical fibers and threads, can cause chronic allergies, skin diseases provoke, to cause recurrent symptoms of fever, chronic rhinitis, asthma attacks, eczema, headaches,” – warn in the “Ukrmetrteststandard”.

If you have any questions after purchase on a form – always keep a check, if any items can be returned.

You cannot forget about the shoes. The older the student, the more expensive clothes – with dimensions rising prices. So on clothes for the parents of high school students have to pay 20-30% more.

Another school is quite expensive purchase – a bag or briefcase.

Above the question “What to buy?” often scratching their heads parents of first-graders. Manufacturers and sellers of portfolios to them ruthless – on children’s products, meet the entire requirements put childish price – 500-1000 hryvnia.

Satchel for first-graders should be comfortable and safe. When selecting matter the size, weight, color. The first thing you pay attention to the sellers – orthopedic back. Satchel should be so designed that, when worn, fixed child’s spine. Orthopedic backrest follows the natural curvature of the spine, and therefore does not harm, but on the contrary, helps to form a correct posture. In the lower part lumbar support, a small cushion which when properly worn backpack will account for the main burden. Thus, the portfolio should be backed with a rigid bottom and rigid.

The second presence of reflective tape on the front, side and top surfaces are of valve products. It is necessary that in the dark or dusk when drivers can clearly see that the next student. Third – dimensions. The width of the student’s backpack should not be wider than the shoulders of the child, the upper edge – not above shoulder height, the bottom edge – not below the hips.

The fourth criterion – the shoulder straps. Their width should be no less than three centimeters and a length – adjustable. Not more than a kilogram. After all, there are requirements to the weight of the bag with textbooks in different classes. In the 1-2 class kid can wear behind no more than 1.5-2 kg, 3-4 Class – 2-2.3 kilograms, 7-8 Class – 3-3.5 kilograms, 9-12 – class 3,5-4,5 kg.

After the purchase of the portfolio at an average price of 600 hryvnia, the total amount of the check will be 3050 and 3300 hryvnia for boys and girls respectively.

Now fill a school bag. Besides textbooks, which must provide the school, you have to buy yourself a few dozen notebooks.

Their safety depends on the quality of raw reflective material. In “Ukrmetrteststandard” say, for example, “page in the notebook should not be pure white; white above 88% is not allowed regulations and current health and hygiene standards for printed materials for children.” After all, white is achieved by optical brighteners, which are harmful to the child’s eyes and lead to vision problems; resulting in a fourth grade students have half wears glasses.

Also, when choosing notebooks need to pay attention to them there was no wrinkles and folds on the pages, dirt and tears – that is, anything that interferes with the quality work of the student.

Metropolitan Traffic Police advises pedestrians have reflective tapes on clothing – it will reduce the risk of accidents. It is particularly important to provide a children’s clothing.

Meanwhile, traffic police found eight cars that were on the wanted list.

In the capital, continuing preventive measures “Pedestrian. Crosswalk “,” Rows “,” Avtokofeyni “,” LFA “,” Primrose “and” excise duty “. In the Kiev region in the day there were five accidents in which five people were injured. Recorded 218 violations of traffic rules, in particular, the driver drove 21 transport in a drunken state, 34 – exceeded speed.

Shopping bags with reflective tape

See and be seen. The basic rule for pedestrians is be seen on the road. Doubly true in bad weather or at night, wear reflective safety vest increase the distance up to ten times at which the pedestrian is seen. Due to the unfortunate experience of senior arise equipped hall in Jedu Bran all pensioners’ reflective tiles.

“We had a few unpleasant when even two cyclists died. Then there was also an incident with two small children, “he recalled Mayor Jed ​​u Bran Jan Hardily (before.). After the municipality in cooperation with the police endowed schoolchildren reflective pendants turn came to earlier. “Thanks to the guesthouse we have multiplied the number of seniors, so they have more moves. After several incidents, we decided to help them, “added the mayor. Town Hall for the oldest residents of the village, therefore, had made 120 shopping bags with reflective tape.

According to a police spokesman Bohemia Alaska seniors are a risk group because they dress in darker colors. “I wear black pants and a gray dress. Similar colors but they are not visible from afar, “said Malaren. To wear reflective elements they want the police to convince the elderly and children as well as in the streets.

“I’ll be careful. Although it goes only one car, so I better wait until it passes. Nothing with reflectors although I have not yet, but the bag will wear it when I go somewhere in the evening, “she promised senior Ditka Fuchsia.”Personally, I do not go in the evening too, but perhaps grandson and the other children you have reflective elements – such as the legs,” recalled the previous security event hall Josef Role.

Reflective elements are mandatory maybe soon. At night or early in the morning, most of the pedestrians died on Czech roads. Due to the unfortunate statistics aspire police, traffic experts and the Ministry of Transport of the compulsory wearing of reflective elements. Getting should have prepared an amendment to the Road Traffic Act. Pedestrians would have to wear a reflective element or apparel when they will move in poor visibility along the road where there is off street lighting. Potential sinner’s police would be able to grant up to two thousand fines.

In many other countries, wearing reflective elements for pedestrian’s worth. For example, the Slovak Republic declined over five years the number of dead pedestrians from 184 to 64th.

Reflective tape to seniors and children for safety

“Better preventive increase security, rather than wait until something bad happens,” says Vera from Slim and yet put reflective tape on the sleeve of his coat.

Just like many other seniors and children receiving free reflective tape yesterday handed out at the crossings in slim city police. “Every night when I come home at night, so I have to go down the road a piece, where there is no sidewalk and street lighting is poor,” explained its concerns about the collision the car working pensioner.

Since grandchildren knows that she sells clothing, which is equipped with reflective elements from the manufacturer, but according to her, only for the younger generation. “Moreover, it is expensive,” she complained seniors. Yesterday’s “gift” in the form of tapes officers over the sleeve so immensely appreciated. “I now feel much safer on the road,” she smiled with a noticeable calming voice.

Police officers are aware of this evidence is indeed sad cases.

To one such took place late last year in the Unhorse Hradiště. Without any reflective elements in dark clothes he went out of thirty-two pedestrian who had been knocked twenty-five drivers. In the darkness, the driver cannot see it.

“Obviously, the situation did not watch enough in front of him and did not go so fast as to be able to stop at the distance at which he had before him perspective. Therefore, it does not hit the obstacle or person who would appear before him, “said the sad incident that killed a pedestrian, a regional police spokesman Ales Marginal.

Now alarming statistics conflicts with pedestrian’s cars were the main impetus to the slim officers in cooperation with slim municipality decided the situation with observance of the principles of pedestrian safety in traffic addressed.

Therefore yesterday morning drove traffic safety campaign has distributed to children who went to school at the crossings reflective tape. “Currently we respond to the clothes of pedestrians, especially children, who are often dark and without reflectors in reduced visibility is easily overlooked,” explained the director of the municipal police in Slim Milan.

Belts received in addition to older children and older people. “These are groups of people that are running on the roads most at risk,” said Milan.

“I am very glad that something is being done for the safety of children,” praised the action of officers Santa Kolouchová that morning accompanied their children to school. Even children with tape and liked them immediately deployed. “It’s great,” praised a schoolgirl Margaret and Sarah. The tape was a lot of interest among the elderly. “I think it’s good, especially at dusk on a walk. I’m sure we’ll use it,” promised the couple shaking.

“It’s great, it is least visible. We use reflective accessories, even children have to dress and act plays, “revealed Peter’s mother.

“I use a flashlight, because the greater part of the year I live in a cottage on the Resave and constantly walk the path. This is new and I’m glad I got it, “said her Yaroslavl Hrbek.

The event also acknowledged the regional coordinator BESIP Zeneca Patoka. “The more people use safety reflective elements, the better. I’m sure it will have a positive impact on pedestrian safety and reduce accidents, “he concluded.

Fashion designer use reflective tape on clothing

Fashion designer argues that saves lives and our reporter checks in practice. Reflective safety vest is the heroine of the clip made by … road workers.

Bet on reflective tape!” It is to convince young people that although life jackets are not too chic, you might want to wear them, because they improve safety.

TVN24 reporter checked how many nights assumption gives the garment. Walking with reflective tape is visible from almost 100 meters, while a man in a black jacket hood appears before unexpectedly, a dozen meters ahead of the vehicle. In such a situation there is no time to react.

The guarantor of security

How important is the visibility on the road, also convinces Joseph Klimczewski, head of the Traffic Department of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Poznan.

Adequate visibility is primarily a guarantor of security. Reflective clothing is a way to make pedestrians visible. Then when we are visible, the driver can react and avoid an accident. Safe distance is a standard range of beam that is 150 m. This distance is sufficient to control the vehicle, provided, however, that we are indeed visible?

They went on the bandwagon.

Drastic cartoons teach behavior on the highway.

Vest of years, has the same cut, but it is further appealing because of years of saving people’s lives. This is what we intend to promote – says spokeswoman, Kwiatkowski.

Help you have at this person from the world of fashion – designer Rosen Opalińska and Clara Kenton and Antonia Smack, founder of Brand Risk.

The result is short film collaboration with reflective vests in the lead role. – We want to persuade most people to hold such vests – he says in the clip Opalinska.

To promote safety vests invited once a well-known designer, Karl Lagerfeld. “It is yellow; it is ugly and does not fit into anything. But lifesaver” – argued in the campaign. So we can say that the road builders from Greater … go for fashion.

Improve cyclists’ safety with reflective tape

To improve safety for cyclists on the road, not only should change the culture of driving, but also their own cyclists should take care of their visibility and has the awareness to equip themselves with reflective tape. Cyclists often do not have a vest or other reflective elements. They should possess them due to their own safety – says Lech Piasecki, cycling world champion.

Vivid Lubuska Catherine Osos encourages cyclists to have glare and appeals to retailers: Join the bike vest. There are, however, already the first positive results.

Some shops distribute vests bought by you; others will join willingly to share, if such a vest receives from us. So we’ll talk and find common solutions. Life and health is most important. It is still too many accidents involving cyclists. Every initiative, every action that would reduce the number of accidents is needed – says Solos.

Lech, world champion amateur and professional track world champion, winner of the Peace Race, the five stages in the Gyro the leader of the Tour de France: – action is most needed. It should be promoted. We see many cyclists, who move in different places. Many of them are invisible. They have no vests or other reflective elements. They should possess them due to their own security.

The legislation does not require that the cyclist was equipped with a safety vest. Mandatory bicycle is the only lighting after dark. The rules also require individuals to have reflective elements moving after dark outside built-up. Although the reflective elements of cyclists are not required, it would be reasonable to hold them.

Our bike shop joined in the action. For each purchased a bicycle adding a reflective vest. We do not have small sizes for children, but we will soon have them. People driving competitively in most cases, these reflective fabrics are, maybe not in the form of vests, because in them you cannot ride, but e.g. the clothes fitted with visible fluorescent colors. Very popular is also a rear bicycle lights, often much stronger than, for example. Indeterminately fog in cars – says Piasecki.

To improve safety for cyclists should also sensitize drivers who should pay close attention to what is happening around them. I recently came into force a new provision allowing the rider to overtake cars on the right column of this page. This requires not only a driver of looking at what is happening in the left mirror of his car, but also pay attention to what is happening on the right side, especially in times of approaching the intersection.

Culture driving should learn as cyclists and car drivers. The potential collision situations, however, the cyclist always suffer more than the car. The bike simply has no chance to win this clash – says Piasecki.

Wear a helmet

Polish law does not require the cyclist to this was equipped with a helmet, but hit his head on the ground can be fatal. About he also should not forget cyclists.

While cycling, I noticed that drivers who themselves may not drive or ride bikes very little, they respect cyclists that wear reflective tapes on clothing on the road. Anyone who rides knows how to behave cyclist on the road. Not all cyclists are perfect and do not always behave the way as they should – says Piasecki.

This is not the only measures planned by the governor. – Before the summer holidays we want to reach our appeal to teenagers and give her vest. Students also should not forget the flares. Vests received from us or the police and Road Transport Inspectorate officers to during their work when they encounter a cyclist without glare, they could give him the vest – says Katarzyna Osos.

Vivid do not want to limit itself to working only in the immediate area.

We would like to manufacturers of bicycles joined to make this vest with reflective material become a standard feature of the bicycle. With this appeal will be paid to producers across the country – provides Solos.
