High Visibility Gear

Reflective Gear Saves Lives

Are you visible or invisible? When you’re out walking, running, or riding, especially at dawn, dusk, or when it’s dark out, you need to help drivers see you. For your safety, light it up!

  • Use your phone's flashlight to stay visible when crossing
  • Bright Colors Are Not Bright At Night
  • Get reflective gear or accessories to help ensure you can be seen.
  • No White At Night
  • Myth: White or light colors make you visible at night – watch and learn how wrong this is.

Visibility vs. Distance

In dark clothing, you might be visible only from 100 feet away, giving a driver less than three seconds to react at 25 mph.

Reflective gear extends that visibility to over 500 feet. That extra distance buys a driver the precious seconds needed to react, slow down, or move over. Reflective gear isn’t just an accessory; it’s a tool that speaks to the driver before they even see your face.

Reflect Yourself!

Did you know that in Utah, the hours between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. are the deadliest for people on foot? Most drivers don’t see pedestrians until it’s far too late.

The Challenge: Watch this video and count how many runners you see. We guarantee you’ll miss at least one.

Don't be a shadow. If you’re jogging, walking, biking, or even on your motorcycle, use lights and reflective gear to stay visible. Your life depends on being more than just a silhouette.

How To Gear Up

From minimalist stickers to maximalist vests, there is a visibility solution for every style.

  • Visit your favorite online retailer for inexpensive and easy-to-carry gear to help keep you and your family safe.

  • Use your phone's flashlight, or add reflective stickers and decals to your bike frame, helmet, or shoes. These small additions create "points of light" that define your shape in the dark.

  • Visit sports stores for LED armbands and reflective activewear. These provide active light and passive reflection for dual-layer safety.

  • Local bike shops and hardware retailers offer high-visibility vests that can be folded into a pocket and thrown on as soon as the sun starts to set.
