Car headlights contain no UV light, so fluorescent gear goes dark after sunset. Retroreflective material on your moving ankles and wrists sends headlights straight back to the driver, and lets them recognize you as a person from about 410 feet instead of 55. This kit puts it exactly where the research says it works.

Why ankles and hands beat a vest
Your brain is wired to recognize the swinging pattern of human limbs, a phenomenon researchers call biomotion. A static glow on a torso reads as an object. Moving points of light at the ankles and wrists read as a person, and drivers react to people sooner. In closed-track studies, that difference is dramatic:
The socks put retroreflective yarn on both ankles, where your stride creates the strongest signal. The gloves cover your arm swing, the second strongest. Both are machine washable and work over or under anything you already wear.

What Cyclists Are Saying
"I have had neighbors ask me about the gloves after they passed me in their cars and were telling me how far away they could see me walking... I highly recommend the Reflectoes products. Stay safe!"
"...you sure can't miss seeing them! My hands feel warm, which allows me to cycle longer and feel comfortable and gives me peace of mind because I know that cars can see me day or night!"
Quick questions
Will the reflective survive the wash?
Yes. The retroreflective yarn is knit into the sock and the glove panels are bonded, not printed. The sock yarn is rated for 50-plus wash cycles. Machine wash like normal athletic gear.
What if the size is wrong?
Check the size charts above each item, and if it still is not right you have 30 days to return or exchange, even if you have worn them. Email us and we send you a return label.
Do these work if I already wear bright colors?
They are the missing half. Neon works in daylight by converting UV from the sun. After dark there is no UV, so you need retroreflective material that bounces headlights back. Wear both and you are covered around the clock.
I walk on unlit paths with no cars. Does reflective help?
Reflective needs a light source, which is why the kit add-on includes LED clip lights. Blinking light covers trails, side streets, and side angles where no headlights point at you.
Try it for 30 nights
If you do not feel more visible, send it back, worn or not, within 30 days for a refund. We even send the return label.
