Really Reflective Clothing / Bits

[MikeF]

Don't confuse HIViz with reflective clothing or strips. HiViz is for daylight use.

High Viz includes both colours that stand out during daylight, and reflective material. There are standards that define this, like BS EN 471

I stand corrected. However many people use clothing of a bright colour which doesn't have reflective material. I'm not sure if the Altura Night Vision actually meets the standards of "hivis".

No, only yellow and orange with strips of reflective material meet the standards.

But the standards are defined for personal protective equipment where workers must wear them, such as railroad, hightways, etc.

Altura Night Vision has reflective material on it, but it does not meet BS EN 471. Cycling garments don't need to. They just need to be easily visible in a variety of conditions.
