Be seen in poor light
August 1st 2008

Glow Safe has launched a range of long-sleeved waistcoats, which help wearers to be seen when outside in poor light conditions.

The waistcoats feature flashing strips of material on the front and rear panel - which can contain a choice of words eg. BANKSMAN They are compliant with Class 3 of the BS EN 471 standard relating to high visibility clothing.

The waistcoats are robust and the strips of GLOWSAFE material can even be creased or put through a washing machine.

Paul Manning of Glow Safe explains: "Unlike traditional reflective waistcoats, there is no dependency upon an external light source in order to be shown up in the dark.

This gives, for example, a driver of an approaching vehicle extra seconds to register that a rider on a horse is ahead. In three seconds a vehicle travelling at 70 m.p.h. has covered over 100 yards. The wearer of one of our vests can be seen up to half a mile away."
