Unfortunately, we are in a world where distracted driving injures or even kills pedestrians often. It's not unusual to see people driving in their cars, heads down without a care in the world - glued to their phones like a monkey to a banana. It's sad, really.
I don't know about you, but that is pretty scary. It's even more scary as a runner. Because most of my running happens in the wee hours of the morning, oftentimes I run in total darkness. I absolutely need to take extra precautions so that I am safe and I am seen!
I have been using these strips for almost one year now and they have been amazing. Brilliant Reflective strips are extremely easy to use and are a MUST for added reflection. They can be used on multiple items, from bike helmets to dog leashes. They also come in four different colors and two varieties: iron-on and stick-on.
Each package has different sizes that are easily affixed and all can be cut according to your specific size needs. I had a little fun on my last run with the strips! I wonder if cars thought I was funny??
Brilliant Reflective designed these strips to activate the bio-motion of a person. Place these strips to accentuate your human form for even more visibility! They are the highest reflection possible in a strip and actually bounce light back to the source. Can you image what a driver will see when the light of their headlights bounces back to them?
I am truly in love with these strips. I use the iron-on strips on gear that I don't wash often, such as my winter running jacket. I use the stick on strips on other clothing and gear. The iron-on strips are permanent once fixed. But, I have washed this particular tank top three times since this picture and the stick-on strips are still there!
Plus, if you don't think that Brilliant Reflective is already cool, they are donating 500K in strips to running clubs and non-profits. They feel that every person needs to have the extra protection to be safe. If you want more info check out the link here.
Also, you can now score 20% off the Multi-packs of strips with code "BRPmulti."
These strips are affordable and help me to be safe and seen. I am so happy to be wearing these on my morning runs!

So, a question. Do the strips stay on your clothes permanently? Or are they reuseable?
ReplyDeletethe iron on ones are permanent. The stick on ones are not but they do last more than one wash. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have flashing lights to wear when running in the wee hours of the morning.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Can never be too safe!
DeleteI wear a reflective vest and a headlamp. Yet I've still almost been hit before, so the more reflective gear I can get, the better!
ReplyDeleteI love these strips! And brilliant reflective just let me know they are giving away the stick-on, multi pack and the iron on! Wahoo! :) What a great company!
