Proviz launches Reflect360 reflective helmet
Proviz has announced the launch of its Reflect360 helmet that turns bright white when light is shone directly at it.
The Germany-made helmet uses what’s called the KStar reflective system with reflective particles embedded into the microshell covering. The reflective particles are protected by a clear outer casing.
The helmet has a pearl grey colour in daylight, but becomes brilliant white when caught in direct light from other road users.
The helmet features Proviz’s Quicksafe headring fit system with two independent LED flashing lights for additional visibility.
The Reflect360 Helmet is, of course, certified to European CE EN 1078 standards and it is priced at £79.99.

Personally, when crossing the road, going up the stairs or getting out of the bath I'm not going 30 mph and will hit tarmac with my head at that...
Especially because of the lack of any rise in fuel duty, 10th year, I believe.

I'm sorry but more than half of these aren't close passes. Ride in the middle of the road. Problem solved.
Ouch! Those are actually painfully similar!
Merino is the answer, especially for the winter Agreed! Especially for skull caps and reduced smell bottom layer. If you see any in Aldi, get them!
