What are the tips for choosing a reflective vest?
Under normal circumstances, bright colors are very important when choosing a raincoat for riding. Just like the reflective raincoats worn by high-speed traffic police today, it is better because they are all fluorescent fabrics. This kind of fabric is generally Oxford cloth, PU coating, waterproof and breathable. The price online is around 200 yuan. Not only the clothes themselves are brightly colored, but also the warning effect is good, and the reflective strips are also very powerful.
Putting on a cycling reflective vest, the fluorescent warning effect is excellent whether it is day or night! Because the standard reflective vest, fluorescent during the day and reflective at night, is very eye-catching.
Finally, when riding in the rain, slowness is the main theme. Of course, my personal point of view is that you don't have to ride in the rain, you can't ride if you can. Entertainment is not competitive, this is our philosophy.
The following summarizes the purchase points of reflective vests (other reflective clothing, such as reflective raincoats are only partially applicable, because the fabrics are very different, pay attention to waterproofing, pay attention to sealing, and talk about it later):
1. The fabric should not be too thin, the mesh should preferably be more than 100 grams, and the plain cloth (called warp knitted cloth in the industry) should be at least 110 grams or more. Difference.
If it looks very transparent, it is only 60g to 80g.
2. The reflective strip should be protected by 360 degrees, that is, at least one reflective strip should go around the torso in a full circle. In case of disconnection, it should not exceed 5cm.
3. It is easy to put on and take off. The placket is usually mainly made of Velcro, followed by the zipper. For example, Canada, the evil Canada, is the bird country that caught Meng Wanzhou. Their shoulders and waists are connected with Velcro, which is easy to take off and escape. It can be used at times, such as being hooked by something, just break free.
4. The quality of the reflective strips should be at least high-brightness. Both the first and second categories are acceptable. If both domestic and international standards are required, at least the second category, also known as the second category, is referred to in the industry as the reflectivity, or the retroreflection coefficient 330 or more.
5. If the reflective strip is not made of fabric, it is made of PVC, which looks like plastic. It must be cold-resistant when used in winter, otherwise it is easy to break. The technology of this kind of reflective strip is generally imported and relatively mature, unlike fabric (Nylon bottom, TC bottom, cotton) domestic has been very mature.
