Put the reflective vest in the clipboard

Reflective waistcoat – in Poland drivers of personal cars do not have to have it, but they should. It cost only 7-10 zł, and can save a life.

In most European countries reflective vests are mandatory equipment for cars and trucks (and some motorcycles, too).

 

Since July 1, the obligation to have a vest has been introduced in Germany. Its absence means a mandate of 15 Euros. It is true that only car drivers registered in Germany, but in the interest of their own safety, it is worth to voluntarily respect them also in Poland. In countries where vests are mandatory, they must be worn whenever the driver and passengers have to leave the vehicle, for example due to a crash or accident, on a highway or other road – except for car parks.

 

Reflective vests are already in force in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic (also for foreigners), Croatia, Finland (with reflective strips), France, Spain, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary in Italy.

The rules are not standardized – in one country only one waistcoat is enough in a car, others have to have all the passengers. In some countries, this also applies to motorcyclists and cyclists if they are traveling on dusk roads.

 

So what to do with a vest when planning a trip abroad? We advise you not to look for loopholes in regulations and apply the maximum variant – take to the car so much reflective vests how many passengers will be traveling.

 

The vest costs from 7 to 10 zł. You can buy it at any petrol station, in supermarkets, on the internet. Just remember to meet the standard – reflective vests are available in 3 colors: yellow, orange or red-orange. It must also have 2 reflective stripes on the front and back. When shopping for vests do not forget about children, in case of vehicle breakdown or accident they will especially be in danger. Reflective vests have to be carried around in the cabin and not – as most drivers do – in the trunk. The point is to be able to put on a vest before leaving the car.

 

By the way, we remind you: in the event of a crash or an accident, you should put a warning triangle in front of you; passengers should get out of the car not only on the road, but on the right side, on the shoulder. You must not go down the road or off the railing without having to be on the road.

Run into a gentle morning with a reflective jacket

Babe summer slowly takes his and, along with warm weather, blows somewhere far. In order to avoid something blurring during the autumn training, it is good to be ready. It’s not yet on the jackets, but the becoming safety vest of wind-resistant materials would still be great. The Kalinin brand has something nice, functional and affordable for us.

 

The steel-gray treadmill with luminous orange accessories is definitely interesting from an aesthetic point of view. She is not too shrill, not even loud. When you examine it thoroughly, you will find that at a favorable price, you get a pretty detailed detail in your hand.

 

The vest is based on two types of fabric. The mesh forms the entire back panel and the adjacent panels running from the armpit to the waist. The rest is non-inflammatory. Around the neck we find even smaller areas of the third kind of fabric, the finest. The entire inside of the collar, its outer edge and the inside of the shoulders are sewn on it. Its task is to provide runners the highest possible comfort. The waist is very pleasant in the area of the neck; it does not undress or thrash anywhere. The so-called zipper garage contributes to this, which prevents the unpleasant scratching of the ends of the zipper in the neck or chin.

 

The outlets for the hands and the waist end are covered with a soft elastic strap. Very practical on the reflective jacket are also three pockets. Their placement is not fortunately class – on the sides at the waist level. The exact place where you place your phone, for example, will keep you busy for hours or even less comfortable places downstairs. No, no, the manufacturer was wondering. One large enough pocket (about 15 × 15 cm) to fit your oversized smart phone is clever on the left chest. Just as with the main zipper, the YKK features a high-quality YKK. The other two pockets are located at the bottom of the back. It closes them with a single zipper and the pair of pockets is actually made up of one space with a sewn in the middle. The pockets are spacious enough (approximately 15 × 14 cm) to fit in, for example, purses, gloves, handkerchiefs, or some refreshments on the way. Thanks to the elasticity of the material and the proper placement of the cargo in the pockets it does not jump or interfere, the waist with its edge extends below the butt.

 

He also enjoys a smaller pocket inside the lower edge. It is not meant to keep things (it does not have a fastening), but its role is no less important. In this pocket you can pack the whole vest and secure the rubber strap while running in the hand or put it on the waist strap or the like. The manufacturer does not forget the safety, so he placed a vertical reflective stripe at the top of the back and the front pocket zip also fitted with a reflector. The waist is very light (about 130 grams) and stacks.

 

Engineers in France also thought of the convenience of the shopper as well as removing mandatory white signs. Did you even happen to have damaged the seam itself or even destroying the fabric of the product? This is not going to happen in any case. The stitches are cleverly sewn on the mesh stripe so you can cut them both safely and completely without the rest.

 

You can use the Vest for now, for example, during morning excursions or at weekends in the hills. Well protected from wind and at least its rip stop part is waterproof. It’s not a raincoat (back is mesh!), But when unexpected light rain comes, it is pleased that you are not “duchy.” I appreciate the well-designed pockets and overall quality and thoughtful processing at a good price.

Be an illuminant with in reflective vest

“At the driver more space than the frame or on the running wheels is” noted on Friday a reader to post “Everything Is Illuminated” and referred to the high visibility vests, available at the hardware store. He is absolutely right. In autumn and winter there are the cyclists in their own hands, to illuminate her silhouette in the dark in any form. This protects them and allows motorists often only to recognize them at all early.

 

Children get to school enrollment by the school or the German Traffic yellow vests or V-shaped luminous collar, they can coat the morning in the dark season. Your charisma is immense. And adults who are sporty machine often resort to neon-reflective vests. Depending on what date you drive, but the safety vest is not necessarily the garment of choice.

 

This is now but no longer a problem. The fashion industry has noticed that more and more people with the wheel are traveling, and has responded. Since two or three years, is slowly improving, but continuously quote for daily commuters. There are beautiful bike fashions that are functional clothing, but not out as such. The Jean producer has manufactured for the first time in 1895 Bike Pants. The trick is: The jackets and pants are not only breathable, but also equipped with reflectors, which can fold out when driving the back or that appear when you roll up the trouser leg. Commuters who cover long distances, the reflectors are not sufficient often. You access to sport jackets with reflectors on the arms and back. Some manufacturers equip their cycling jackets even with small LED light strip, such as here. Wolfgang Lingered has developed with the Institute for Reliability and Micro-integration high-tech jacket.

 

In the tissue red and white LEDs are integrated in the shoulder and back area. The lights are linked to the movements of the cyclist. They are controlled by means of a microelectronic system, sensors and control elements as well as switches and battery integrated into the jacket. The circuit board is flexible and resistant according to Institute to moisture. You could even be washed in the washing machine, they say. In last year Wolfgang Lingered received for Sporty Superheroes the Red Dot Design Award. Lingered wants to sell the reflective jacket via a crowd funding campaign early next year, by mid-year there will be the jacket also in stores.

 

Significantly cheaper and also very practical are reflective arm and leg warmers. They Evarts simply coat sleeve or pant leg. Which are much smaller driver bands – the modern form of trouser clip? They are made of Boot supervening, truck tarpaulin, or giant cinema posters that hung at international film festivals on facades. They are wider than the classic trouser belts and have a Velcro which holds really well. For better visibility, a relatively large reflective stripe delivers. And who needs a bag, can now rely on models that reflect also. A model has been here on the blog presented.
