reflective strips

Safety gear accents

Reflective strips are bands of material that bounce light back toward its source, making the wearer visible in low light.

They're standard on safety vests, running gear, and children's backpacks: The crossing guard's vest had reflective strips on the front and back.

Emergency workers and cyclists rely on them to be seen by drivers at night.
