Reflective jacket keep you visible at day and night

This is a jacket with reflective material that should appeal to both fans of daytime discretion as fans of the high nighttime visibility. The MACNA Concrete Night Eye will make date in the motorcycle and scooter equipment.

 

Jacket motorcycle and scooter reflective MACNA Concrete Night Eye This is not because the idea of imposing biker’s retro reflective elements (day …) is – fortunately – suspended the ability to make themselves more visible when conditions warrant is totally crazy. Dutch brand, MACNA recently presented the Night Eye technology. Placed on a tool and it can be more visible when it is in the headlights of another vehicle and totally unobtrusive the rest of the time. We tested the Concrete jacket equipped with this high only night vision technology.

 

Jacket motorcycle and scooter reflective MACNA Concrete Night Eye If the Night Eye looked promising at the Cologne Fair, the MACNA stand, we especially wanted to know what it looked in real conditions. Indeed, in the studio, the jacket goes from gray to bright white when it is taken in the flash.

 

During our first night travel with this reflective jacket, people seemed a little surprised, even in urban areas, strangely fixing the Concrete once stopped the fire. Under the streetlights in the city, the jacket is not noticed much as the surrounding brightness is ultimately quite important. But when we find ourselves in a less lighted area (which is always the case on the road), the MACNA jacket equipped with Night Eye seems to be lit from within. From the front, it will obviously never more visible than the beacon of motorcycle or scooter, but as soon as one is monitoring or lit from the side, the visibility offered is unrivaled even at long distances.

To find out what effect the Night Eye technology, so we made a few pictures from a distance of 50 meters and set a Go Pro HD Hero2 camera on the hood of a car. The result would happen almost comment.

 

It is clear that the jacket already reflects light when the car is simply code. As soon as it goes into high beams, the MACNA Concrete Night Eye becomes highly visible. And while the distance is greater than 100 meters and the position imposed on a sport bike offers less reflective surface.

The rain jacket of reflective fabric for safety

With zipped vents under the armpits, Rain Jacket is waterproof, but is also breathable for guaranteed comfort.

 

For this season, we tested a vest from the Look range, “Rain Jacket”. This jacket is designed to protect elements in rainy weather all the advantages of an excellent quality product. First, it provides optimum protection against the wind and rain, allowing the rider to stay dry throughout its release. In fact, the reflective fabric used comprises two impermeable layers not letting the water penetrate even after several hours of cycling in the rain.

 

This seal is enhanced by the sealed seams and closures used and the end of the elastic sleeve. Moreover, the particular cut of the jacket very covering the buttocks further protects the rider projections of the road. Although the jacket also has the advantage of having excellent breathability compared to other products sold commercially.

 

The latter, by its membrane allows optimal transfer of perspiration outwardly so as to remain dry inside even during intense efforts through wide side vents pockets located under the arms which provide excellent control body temperature. Regularly, windbreakers and reflective jackets have the advantage of being waterproof, but the excess heat created by the effort can no longer effectively remove moisture. With Rain Jacket, wide zippered openings revolutionize its use and comfort.

 

Its excellent breathability offers the possibility to use this rain jacket as an excellent windbreak when temperatures are cool. The tissue of the cervix and its full zip-center reinforces the comfort of the jacket limiting any irritation to the throat.

 

The fabric used, extremely light, guarantees a minimum weight of only 140 grams. Without being a really compressible fabric, it still makes it easy to store in the jacket pocket of a shirt. An unusual extra strength is to meet on this jacket. This is totally hermetic zipped back pocket allow to store a mobile phone even when it rains. The bag is relatively large and its easy access.

 

As for safety, the neon red jacket and two reflective strips on the back pocket allow the cyclist to be seen from afar. But we would have appreciated a reflective portion on the front of the jacket to strengthen the security of the cyclist overcast.

 

To conclude, we can say that the side zips the jacket are an essential accessory for your outings. This highly effective rain jacket can be worn as a windbreaker or extra layer of winter. Done effect “pressure cooker”! The cyclist can finally control his body temperature under the jacket. The Rain Jacket is available in Black or Red color Neon in size XS to XXL for a price of 129.90 Euros.

A giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake

They sweated and worked underground for 17 years, 360 days a year and 24 hours a day. When the Gotthard base tunnel is inaugurated with great pomp next week, many of them have already left the scene. The 2,000 miners employed at the construction site remained anonymous, while they realized the work of the centuries.

 

Nostalgia, pride and satisfaction; this is what René Kaufmann feels when he thinks of the tunnel. René Kaufmann, a giant with a reflective jacket and a solid handshake, has just spent 14 years in the Gotthard base tunnel. First in mine rescue, then in equipment management and finally as a locomotive engineer in Sedum (GR), where the difficult geological conditions allowed to work only with explosives.

 

Blasting is the queen discipline in the tunnel. The blaster master performs a final check round before proceeding with the explosion. The detonation is deafening, the huge shock wave. The acrid smell of ammonia rises to the nose of the miners. It’s hot – up to 50 degrees – wet and dust is ubiquitous. Thus the 46-year-old man described his daily task: “I had to carry comrades out of the tunnel because they collapsed.”

Team work in the heart of the mountain is hard: ten days of work, four leave. Quick starts are not uncommon. “Either you’re done for the tunnel, or you’re not.” René Kaufmann has been doing this job for thirty years.

 

His great-grandfather and grandfather were already working in the mines. A small town in East Germany, this is tradition. The locality was known for decades for its pure copper ore. Since he was sixteen, he is in the mines. The daily work has undergone dramatic changes: while René Kaufmann has learned the craft from scratch, satellite-guided machines perform many tasks today. The first workers in reflective vest were still attacking the rock with pickaxes and shovels. But for Kaufmann, the challenge remained the same: “snatch” a tunnel into the mountains.

 

What has also remained the same: risks? Despite the most modern technology, the fear is there when the elevator drops 800 meters to Sedum and a new day begins. Blocks of unstable rock, chemical substances, fires or accidents: many dangers lie in the mountains. Kaufmann learned it painfully: two comrades lost their lives in the tunnel. The memory of this 28-year-old German is lively, has become daddy shortly before and crushed dead between two wagons of ballast.

 

“These were hard times. Also because these accidents could have been avoided, “explains René Kaufmann. His compatriot had forgotten to press the emergency button to stop it. A miner must not only respect the mountain, but also the machines. The miners also count on Sainte Barbed, their patroness. There is no tunnel under construction that is not guarded by the saint.

 

It is not only the blows of fate that bind miners. Their lives reflect their work in the mountains. In Sedum, Kaufmann and his comrades lived on the outskirts of the village, in containers installed above the building site. Each had a single room. WC and showers were upstairs; meals were taken in the canteen.

 

All the minors came from abroad, especially from Germany, Austria, Portugal and Italy. Fellowship is crucial: “We are a small family”. We invite ourselves for grills, we play football or cards. René remained in contact with some colleagues, “thanks to Facebook”. Only teamwork allows for a real family life. After eight days, Kaufmann wear safety vest took the wheel of his car and was 800 kilometers. He spent five days with his wife and two sons before returning to Switzerland.

 

The future remains open. And René Kaufmann is a bit disillusioned. He expected a little more consideration here: “Once the tunnel is over, they drop you like a hot potato.” Currently, he takes care of the last interviews in the gallery. His contract expires the day before the festive inauguration of the tunnel. It has already been announced at the ORP, the regional placement office.

Car Exam of drivers for road safety

Car Modified Exam. A legislative initiative submitted to the Senate provides for the introduction of new first aid samples in traffic, keep the road safety.

 

If it is approved by the Senate and then the Chamber of Deputies, which is the decision-maker, will be the project signed by 31 MPs, it would complement the 1952 Government Emergency Ordinance 195/2002 on the introduction of two new items aligned to the article Number 23:

 

– “In order to obtain the driving license, the candidates have the obligation to carry out during the theoretical and practical training activities and to promote a first aid course in traffic”.

– “The program, the modalities of organizing and developing the first aid course in traffic, the list of authorized centers for theoretical and practical training and practice and the promotion scale are established and updated by joint order of the Minister of Health and the Minister of Internal Affairs”.

 

Currently, concepts of first aid in traffic in the event of an accident are included in the theoretical exam for obtaining a driving license.

The life of an injured person depends, to a large extent, on the moment of first aid and on the understanding of the person who first intervenes at the scene of the accident. Basic first aid is just temporary emergency relief to save life, prevent further complications and relieve suffering until an appropriate medical service can intervene.

 

The four steps in giving first aid

Situations in which first aid is needed may be very different, but first aid providers will need to take four steps, regardless of the situation.

The four important steps are:

  1. Taking safety precautions.
  2. Assessing the victim’s state.
  3. Requesting help.
  4. Getting First Aid.

 

Taking safety measures in the event of a road accident

Indications for first aid:

Always follow the Road Code.

Gradually reduce speed and do not brake suddenly as you approach the scene of the road accident.

Stop the car in a safe place, on the refuge, on the roadside or outside.

Put your reflective vest.

Use warning signs (such as the reflective triangle) to alert those approaching the scene of the accident.

Do not try to cross a highway.

Pay attention to the electrical cables on the floor and make sure that no one approaches these cables and they are not touched.

Try to prevent a possible fire by stopping the electrical contact of the vehicles involved in the accident and not allowing anyone to smoke in the immediate vicinity.

Please note that the airbags that have not activated can suddenly swell.

Try to immobilize the injured vehicles by pulling the handbrakes.

 

Emergency removal of the victim

As a general rule, you should not move the victim from the scene of the accident unless the danger is imminent and cannot be controlled, if safety measures cannot be taken and only if you do not expose yourself to any danger. If necessary, move the victim to the nearest safe place.

If the victim is conscious, explain what you are going to do and ask her to cooperate. If possible, immobilize the neck of the victim while traveling. Turn as little as possible the neck, head and body of the victim.

Try to apply the correct techniques, even if the victim’s movement is the number one priority.

Protect the victim from cold or heat, but move it only if it has been too cold and if this can have serious consequences. Cover the victim with a coat or blanket to protect it from cold. You can also use a thermo-insulating blanket.

To protect the victim from heat, make shade with a reflective jacket, blanket or umbrella or just sit down so that you shade with your own body.

Care more about drivers without safety vest

Motorcycle police recommendations: Beware of the vehicle when cornering and junctions! Most motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who are not sure when or left lane change

 

Dear partners of the road, we know that during nice and dry asphalt bring joy in the soul of every lover engines. We also know that with the beginning of spring actually riders out of clothes heavy winter and go to reflective jackets and boots protection and helmets freshly-cleaned, so necessary for their safety, notes the Romanian Police in a press release.

 

“To be able to fully enjoy the spring, we, the police, we recommend:

* Use a homologated helmet that meets current safety standards.

 

* Always wear protective clothing because only this can provide good protection during an accident and protect you from the weather. We advise you to opt for modular equipment, in stature- so it can adapt to changing weather conditions.

 

* Be visible! Wear bright, reflective! Add extra reflective material or carry a reflective vest. Always keep the lamp lit and run in place where drivers can easily see in the rearview mirror (2/3 of the width of the strip). Avoid blind spots of other vehicles.

 

* Approach curves moderate speed, without them “cut”! Many accidents happen because of penetration on the opposite.

 

* Keep eye contact – does not mean I appear. Always try to have eye contact with drivers who may be about to cross your path. Partners predict your way! Even when drivers, cyclists and pedestrians see as you approach, they often misjudge the distance and speed. Do not rely only on their good reaction.

 

* Beware of the vehicle when cornering and junctions! The most common type of motorcycle accident is caused by drivers who ensure the execution turning left or changing lanes

 

* Be prepared for hazardous road conditions – wet, liquid spills, sand, gravel driveway tram, potholes and other road hazards that can affect surface grip generating serious injuries and … THE ENGINES! Romanian Police in safety vest wishes you dry pavement and traveling without undesirable events.

Everyone involved has to put reflective vest

There is not one day, and especially on weekends and public holiday’s periods, which may not occurred road accidents resulting in deaths and injuries, keep road safety is important. Beyond the statistics absolutely horrendous and unacceptable for various reasons, another reality regrind-ability does not decrease the number of victims: most drivers do not know how they should react after such an undesirable event. And, unfortunately, negative graphs grow every year.

 

In case of accident, the first step should become reflex: call emergency number 112. Experts warn, however, that in fact a triad of elements is to follow in the shortest possible terms: protection, alerting help. Placing protection even before the alarm is motivated by the need to avoid so-called supra accident (chain accidents caused by the first), which could be worse than the “basic”. Everyone involved has to put reflective vest, to report the accident within a reasonable distance before the site of the impact, then retire to a safe place and only then to call for help, which will determine as accurately as possible what happened.

 

These aids may be specialized medical teams, the cars of extrication, fire etc. They can even guide him through phone call to make first steps necessary – say, first aid for victims – as appropriate. Very important it is that the caller not to hang up until they call the dialed aid.

 

Removing or maintaining injured / damaged vehicle depends on the concrete situation, the type of lesion etc. Of course, the victim should not be immobilized useless because – for example – may have fractured spine. In contrast, some wounds require special emergency intervention (stopping of bleeding, cardiac massage and others), for that person to survive until the arrival of the ambulance, I Note so few that can extend unpredictable.

 

These include brief information as a message is clear: each driver must wear safety vest, at least once, to attend a first aid in case of accident. Lack of legislation profile so far from us, such a provision is currently in legislative attention novel.

Every student has its own reflective vest

Especially with the arrival of spring, there is no better way to go to school except with a nice walk: and so the administration a few days decided to extend one of the Pedi bus lines up in places Cabining, also equipped with reflective safety vest.

 

The aim is to push the “dragon” (that’s how it is nicknamed the Pedi bus, also thanks to the logo) farther and farther away from the center, in order to limit the radius of action of the school bus only to peripheral areas. In 2008 by the will of the Councilor to education, the service works like a real bus (walk), with its route three lines covering the entire historic center, times, and stops indicated by reflective signs.

 

During the journey from home to school to have fun with his friends, they exchange the figures, and with the help of the guides (parents, grandparents and other volunteers) will have returned verbs and tables, and you learn to cross the street. All while they are standing in line, each with its own reflective vest, to start the day full of joy, movement and ecology.

Some people scam with wear reflective vest

“Golden Systems and cash in the freezer. We need to make the system of controls water. Need to ask worker wear reflective clothing to deal with these. “A proposed script and repeated here and there for Employ and beyond. Taking its toll on victims, at the end of ” checks stripped of their assets, in exchange for nothing. Cheated well in the ‘name’ of an alleged serious malfunction of the system of drinking water, but is not.

 

Those fake workers dressed to the nines are always ready to point the finger tap, sometimes accused of being poisoned by mercury sometimes instead of not being able to be ‘supported’ by a working meter. And they have also tried the other morning in that Mozzarella area. But this time their ‘business card’ did not work: in front, found a very strong woman, smelled the scam, has established itself with an air of decided and great determination. As usual, they showed up at the door of the Carboy Street, in the green part. It was almost noon. They rang the bell and stood as the water authority workers Waters Spa: a very credible visa of work clothes complete with a helmet and reflective vest wearing them.

 

“Hello – they have stuck with doing extremely polite – We need to make checks on the water system of your home.” The strangeness came shortly after and immediately jumped to the eye to the lady, a person who gives a helping hand to the family living in the house Mozzarella. The two ‘colleagues’ work would in fact ask to go into the house to do some special tests, to be carried out using equipment and substances that could damage jewelry in gold and cash.

 

At those words, the caregiver was suspicious and without beating about the bush invited the two to leave, warning immediately after the police in safety vest of what happened. The two apparently would have run away aboard a work truck, ‘neutral’. And the same white vehicle and no writing would have been spotted around even by other residents of the area, the series scam and con artists do not know the word vacation.

 

So it is perhaps appropriate to review the good rules of thumb to keep in case of ‘workers’ suspicions. To suggest the same manager spa waters which emphasizes that “no officer or agent carries out checks on the operation of facilities or audits on the quality of water supplied inside the home? And they do not perform inspections of any kind in the house, except in pursuance of an appointment with the user. “So if insiders insist on crossing the threshold, there is something wrong.
