Running in the dark with wearing reflective clothing

Especially in winter, when the sun rises late and sets early in the daylight savings time, it is inevitable go running in the dark, or otherwise in poor lighting conditions, it’s dangerous if you not wear a reflective vest. And unfortunately there is not always a way to go running on exclusive tracks for runners and closed to traffic: you often end up running in the street and on the sidewalks with the consequent dangers data from the car and motorcycle traffic.

 

When it comes to race with the dark, it is therefore essential to think first of their own safety, trying to make sure to be as visible as possible.

  1. Use clothing with reflective fabric inserts

Especially in the lines of ‘ clothing for running in winter now all brands fit Reflective patches or fluorescent colors at will: look for those with the greatest surface for high visibility (and obviously forgets jackets and tight uniform dark color).

 

  1. Highlight especially the moving parts

Put yourself in the shoes of a motorist lost in thought: see you better, earlier and more clearly if he sees something moving lighted on his horizon. Then add reflective bands on the legs, arms and if you also to shoes (you can also use the reflective tape on the heel).

 

  1. Use flashing lights

For the same reason, the flashing lights will capture more easily the attention of a driver with respect to the fixed lights: ok then the headlamp, but also holds a torch, or fastens forearm a small light bulb, and put them in the intermittent mode.

Test: RPM LS Jersey by reflective fabric

Spring has now arrived but despite temperatures above the seasonal average days still requires sufficient coverage of the body, especially the bust, to address peacefully the workouts in the saddle. The Italian Cycling RPM offers LS jersey made by reflective fabric, a jersey from thin cut that still offers excellent protection levels. That’s our opinion.

 

The LS Jersey is a knitted from very tight fit and made entirely with Roubaix fabric, a fiber cutting edge in the field of thermal clothing, able to maintain optimal levels of heat and at the same time softness and strength even in the most critical situations.

 

On the rear side has the three classic open pockets with the addition of a fourth hydrophobic pocket and with zip.

The LS Jersey has several reflective details. We find, in fact, along the top edge of the pockets, front shoulders, and on the logos on the side seam.

A very light-weight knit, in fact, the weight we found, in size M, was 292 grams.

The Jersey LS is available in sizes XS to XXL and in all black.

The LS Jersey has a very tight fit, but still allows you to accommodate an intimate mesh inside. The cut is equally soft, with the attractively sweatshirt inner surface.

 

The closure is comfortable, with the zip which can also be easily handled with the glove. The collar is slightly raised helps to protect the throat from the cold, also adheres well without causing discomfort, thanks to the presence of soft protective seal that prevents contact of zip in his throat.

 

The elasticity is excellent and comes out well to go along with every movement. The cuffs adhere well without creating any constraint; the sleeves have a length such as not to hinder the movements of the arms and the rear panel effectively covers the back, while remaining firmly in place also by addressing the technical sections, while not being provided on the brink of an internal insert in silicone.

 

In the presence of extremely low temperatures, the LS Jersey requires one additional outer layer, but it is during the autumn and spring outputs, with temperatures that are around approximately 15°, this reflective vest gives the best of itself. It can, in fact, to maintain a constant body temperature without excessive overheating. If, however, you start to sweat, we appreciated his talents and sweat absorption of perspiration, resulting in keeping the skin dry. Obviously this is not a windproof boss or rain, so in such cases is to be combined, for example, to a windproof vest or a light rain jacket.

 

The back pockets were large and well accessible. It should also be appreciated, the presence of the fourth zip pocket, which is useful to contain objects of a certain value, such as documents or keys, but it is also able to comfortably hold a mobile phone and protect it well from the rain, given that the interior is water-repellent.

As always, one appreciates the presence of numerous reflective tape details, which are always welcome on this type of mesh that will be used in the less long days and, therefore, more subject to the diminution of light.

 

RPM has become accustomed to Heads of highly technical clothing, as well as comfortable, able to enhance the athletic movement of the pedal. The shirt LS Jersey fully reflects these features, proving to be a solid choice for the weeks preceding and following the coldest time of the year.

Cyclists disagree with the duties of reflective elements

Associations that promote cycling as a mode of transport does not agree with the obligation to pedestrians in poor visibility had elements required to wear reflective clothing. That is the amendment to the law on road traffic promotes the Ministry of Transport. “This obligation is inadequate especially in the villages where you can expect the movement of pedestrians and drivers would thus they should be ready,” said Vice President of the European Cycling Federation Daniel.

 

“The implementation of the obligations of pedestrians wear reflective elements is inconsistent with the principle of responsibility stronger traffic participants (motorists) for the damage they can cause,” said Moore. Ministry proposal requires wearing reflective elements and in the community in places where there is no pavement and not sufficiently illuminated.

 

Such conditions but by the association fulfills a number of residential streets where pedestrians without reflective fabric clothing according to the letter of the law could not move at all. But in reality it will be completely different point associations and demand that even without the reflective elements could walker to communicate through. In this case, for example, could be required before the passage of the vehicle on the verge of retreat.

 

Besides wearing reflective elements associations require adjustments to the duties of cyclists in motion in operation. It includes the abolition of the obligation to always ride on the right side of the road, which endangers cyclist’s example when the side of the road parked car in narrow lanes or before the roundabout. Cyclists crossing for cyclists should also take precedence over branching vehicles. Preferences for these associations are demanding even in a situation where the vehicle comes from tertiary roads that may not have been marked trails in these sections interrupted.

 

Among the associations that submitted comments on the law, for example, was the association Auto * Mat, organizing bike ride with wearing reflective vest, association Brno bike or Partnership Foundation.

The breathable, weather resistant fabric the outside reflects light and draws attention in traffic to itself. The inside is used for heating the chicken and consists, which was developed by NASA and serves as an excellent insulator. Even if the chickens are not planning any space mission, they will be protected from wind, rain and snow. Cost point for a vest: 20 francs.

 

“At first, the chicken ran backwards …”

In the UK, the company meets with big run – which is obviously one million households who own domestic hens. These holders also include Sandaled Ali. They reported positive experiences with the vest. “We were looking for something that keeps you warm our chickens in winter. Then we came across these fluorescent jackets. Initially we found it funny, but then it turned out to be very useful. When the chickens were wearing the reflective vest, she suddenly ran back, but after a few minutes, she got used to the new cloak. ”
