The gloves with reflective material certified compulsory from Sunday

Proposed by the Road Safety Committee (IRB) on 2 October 2015, the measure requiring mandatory gloves with reflective material certified on a motorized two-wheeled vehicle was validated and published in the Official Gazette on 19 September.

 

As a result, all users of motorcycles and scooters, pilots as passengers, must now be equipped with EPI-certified gloves in all circumstances. The measure will come into force on Sunday, November 20th. In other words, you have until Saturday to buy you a homologated pair if not yet the case.

 

As a reminder, any glove cannot be worn. The decree of 19 September 2016 specifies that the latter must be “in conformity with the regulations on personal protective equipment, like the safety vest“. They are recognizable by the CE marking specific to the practice of the motorcycle.

 

As of Sunday, any driver or passenger who does not respect this new regulation of the Highway Code will be subject to a third-class fine, a flat-rate fine of € 68 and a withdrawal of a point on the driver’s license.

 

In order to accompany this measure and to insist on the importance of adapted equipment, Road Safety launches a new prevention campaign. The latter reminds users of the need to protect their hands on a two-wheeler by using reflective accessory. This campaign will be broadcast in the print media and available on the web.

Reflective elements should be commonplace for pedestrians

The law not only thinks on motorists who must be from November 1 under the circumstances winter tires. Reflective material must be wearing pedestrians, who move in poor visibility on the road outside the village. Policemen but recommend wearing reflective elements for all pedestrians, not just those affected by the amendment to the Road Traffic Act of February this year touches.

 

That’s how it looked this morning at one of Karvina. Longer waiting period is annually subject to the obligation from November 1 for the winter in conditions which clearly stipulated by law. A continuous layer of snow has not yet appeared, but the potential danger of frost. They must have all year to wear reflective material.

 

Miroslav Kolatek, spokesperson for the Czech Police Karvina: “It’s not enough he only put on the strap of her purse, which is then hidden in the armpit, but keeps it visible on his hands, on foot, or on a cap or jacket so that it is visible to other participants.”

 

Wear reflective fabric in the village is not mandatory, but police wearing all pedestrians are recommended.

A spokesman for the PCR Karvina: “They increase their visibility and thereby contribute to their safety.”

 

A poll pedestrian: “I am a driver, so I know that I wear. I have the tape. “” I’m too pale dress. “” I do not wear them because when it’s dark, I’m home. “” Unfortunately, I have, as you see. “” I do not wear because they do not have it. I have to take it. ”

 

All walkers should be aware that if a man wearing dark clothes, a driver registers in reduced visibility to twenty meters. The white color is visible up to 55 meters. In doing so, the ideal distance for the reaction is 200 meters. And it guarantees only reflective accessory.

Reflective Light and versatile protection

Especially on long stretches of road cyclists is often exposed to a wide range of different weather conditions.

 

Here the new “Insulated Brevet” comes

From Rapha into play: Thanks to its “Alpha” filling on front and back, it makes for pleasant warmth. Since it is Alpha is a continuous, loosely knitted layer, the thermal insulation is breathable, and prevents overheating even at high intensity before.

 

The “Insulated Brevet” is equipped with a two-way zipper, the back pockets can be achieved quickly and easily. Reflective accessory details provide enhanced visibility in the dark.

 

Thanks to elastic sides the vest can

Simply be pulled even at full back pockets. The front zipper is highlighted, and keeps out the wind. A water-repellent coating offers additional protection in case of sudden rain.

 

Since Alpha hydrophobic, or is water-repellent, it sucks itself also not full, when things get wet, and also convinces through fast drying times. And if the driver no longer needs the safety vest, he can with the help of an elastic band, which is hidden in the collar, Curled compact.

 

Alpha was developed as an active insulation; the adaptive respiratory activity makes it unnecessary, while type clothing layers additionally on or takes off.

Therefore, the material is ideal for cycling. By water vapor can move freely through the material, the air exchange will promote the overall and extremely shortens the drying time. The result is an increased comfort through thermal regulation.

 

“Because it is a continuous layer of fluffy, knitted fibers, fibers cannot ‘moving’ the result is excellent stability and dimensional stability -. Even under heavy use and repeated washings,” explains Karen Whittier, as product manager for thermal protection responsible.

 

Warm even when wet and dries much faster than before on the market existing thermal insulation reflective materials. Very light and compressible, it provides warmth without much weight, and is also extremely wind resistant.

 

How does this work? Unlike down and synthetic heat-insulation is at Alpha to a continuous, loose knit, so only one layer.

The advantage: it remains stable, and cannot slip. In addition, fibers cannot solve. Therefore Alpha are processed with much more open, more porous and more breathable fabrics on the inside and outside to “Puffy” -like Styles.
