The darkest time of the year is here. Take care of your own safety and that of your loved ones. Help others in traffic detect your movements.
According to the Finnish Road Safety Council, a driver using high beam headlights can see a pedestrian on a dark road without a reflector at about 150 metres, depending on their clothing and the car’s lights. A pedestrian wearing a reflector or reflective vest can be seen from more than 600 metres. In a collision situation, a motorist driving with low beam lights will only see a person without a reflector from about 50 metres away, while a pedestrian’s reflector can be seen from as far away as 350 metres.

The reflector no longer needs to be a separate object, the reflective surface can be conveniently carried in everyday accessories: hats, gloves, backpacks, bags, umbrellas, and shoelaces. Reflective yarns, ribbons, fabrics, and tapes also tempt you to tinker with something new or tune up something old to improve visibility in the dark.
Our range of reflective accessories is truly extensive and caters for all types of wearers. You can browse the full range in our webstore, send a message to sales@tammerbrands.fi or contact your sales representative.
