Product Description

Motorcycle Reflective Safety Tape - Black Sew-On
Stealthy Satin Black during the day blends with dark clothing, but turns bright, for visibility and safety at night.

This kit contains 48 inches of 1" wide, 48 inches of 2" wide, and 24 inches of 4" wide Black Reflective Fabric. In all, 240 square inches of bright nighttime visibility. Material is a blend of 35% cotton, and 65% polyester. It's soft, washable, easy manageable in cutting, slitting and sewing. It can easily be cut into strips or pieces, any shape, and sewn to shirts, jeans, jackets, and even leather.

This tape is machine washable up to 105ºF (warm) and can be machine dried, however, to maximize its life, we recommend washing on gentle cycle and use of a low temperature dryer setting, or line drying. Be Seen, Be Safe!

How This Material Reflects Light
Amanet Reflective Tapes and Stickers contain a layer of microscopic lenses coated onto the surface. An auto's lights hit this and the bright light will shine back to the driver's eyes, making you visible from a very long distance away. The best way to test this at home is to put the reflective material at approximately 20 feet away, flat against a wall, at eye level, directly in front of the sticker or tape. For testing once installed, put the headlights of an auto at approximately 200 to 300 feet directly behind the bike, on a level road. At just 10 feet away you won't see the brightest reflection because the angle of the headlight-reflector-eye is too large (See the illustration below). In the real world 10 to 20 feet away is too close for a car to first notice you and stop. The reflective tape or sticker is designed so an auto can see you and your bike hundreds of feet away.

5 out of 5 stars Can't believe how good this fabric is   May 20, 2010

I was hesitant to buy this at first, but its cheap and it comes with plenty of fabric.

Ever since there is a new law in my country that requires all motorist to wear a reflective vest after 5pm, I've been looking for some sort of tape or vest that its not like the regular green/orange/white ones that are used in construction.

Be careful when you sew-on this fabric it only reflect from 1 side, the kit comes with 2 diameters, and about 4m of each which should be plenty for 4 jackets or vests.

I sew on quite a few pieces to my leather vest without actually testing it first, and when I went out at night it turned out to be too much... The reflection is like nothing you have seen before. I ended up only using a couple of stripes in the back, similar to the picture, and a few in the front at chest level. The best feature of this is that its black during the day, so it blends in with the black leather just fine during the day to be almost unnoticeable and then at night its like you had a reflection vest. Great product highly recommended.

The material is strong and very reflective. I glued it onto my motorcycle jacket and it kept its shape and reflectivity. Good product.

I have several late classes this semester, and I ride a motorcycle as my main mode of transportation. My bike pops out thanks to some LED lights, but I noticed there was nothing to alert the people behind me that I was there. I decided to put reflective tape on my backpack. I didn't want white tape because it would stick out during the day too much. So I looked into this.

After receiving the product, I promptly opened the package to examine what I obtained. I placed one of the the rolls across the room from me and shined a flash light on it, and I have to say for being black it shines like it was white to begin with. One of the reviewers above me noted that spray adhesive can be used without affecting the reflective material, so I decided to try Mighty Mendit and had no problems either. There's plenty of material, and the varied cuts are very convenient. I'm very happy with my investment.

Some of the answers to the questions that I had were, it is not exactly tape because it is not adhesive. It is reflective on one side. It is thick enough to use spray adhesive and it will not bleed through. I used it on the back of my leather saddle bags and it worked great. When you cut it, it does not fray as well. It is a great product and the only I really found out there without buying a commercial role. The bags look great and you can barely see the satin black fabric during the day. They were at my door step in 1.5 days from CA to NJ.

This is an outstanding product! Works best on a dark fabric, as in daylight it basically appears black, but that would be a matter of taste. But at night, when hit by light, it's like it has its own batteries! The photo really gives you a good idea of its appearance in a headlight beam. Very lightweight & flexible; sews on very easily. I bought it for my teenage daughter's "messenger bag." She didn't want a backpack with already sewn-on reflectors (e.g. LL Bean), and coats with reflective patches were out ("not cool," but I also wanted something she would use every day - well, she has to take her books, but doesn't always need a jacket). I needed something that would blend in with the bag & strap material (teens are so conscious of appearance!) and not "stand out" when it wasn't needed, yet blaze out for safety. We also wanted something "passive" that she wouldn't forget when running out of the house to catch the school bus or have to turn on. This is PERFECT. She's happy, we're happy; she's safe. Outstanding product. There's also enough that when this bag wears out, we have plenty more to do another bag (or two). And, to top it off, the merchant was excellent. Received it even faster than estimated, as advertised, well packed and in perfect condition. If I needed more, I'd buy again in a second!
