i see people wearing fluorescent jackets.
in the day time, this seems like the most visible color. but at night, wouldn;t white be better? or/plus something reflective? because the fluorescent stuff, depends on ultraviolet light to activate its glowing properties. at night, there is little if any uv from headlights and streetlights.. wle. |

Yes, you are quite right. A lot of night gear does have reflective strips on. Mine does. :-) I have a jacket made of Illuminite: http://www.illuminite.com/index.asp . It's supposedly reflective across its entire area. I bought it from Performance a while back, when they combined yellow fabric with the Illuminite coating. It appears that they've gone back to putting the Illuminite on dark fabric- stylish, but less visible in low-light (dusk) conditions. Large swatches of white/bright colors are most visible in most lighting conditions. Reflectivity helps- but it shouldn't be relied upon. Jeff |
