Reflective jacket Nike, Supreme - a new word in the youth fashion

The reflective effect is widely used in various areas of our life. But hardly anyone would have thought that someday it would become an important element of clothing. The relevance of the reflective elements on jackets, shoes due to the fact that the person is poorly visible in the dark. That is why light-reflective clothing is an indispensable attribute of people who are engaged in road works or perform their professional duties in poor light.

This technology has not been ignored by fashionable clothing manufacturers, including Nike, Supreme, Adidas, The North Face, etc. They managed to combine security issues and fashionable solutions. Light reflectors are widely used in the manufacture of footwear, clothing for motorcyclists, runners, cyclists.

The author of the creation of the first elements based on light reflection is the American company ZM. It happened on the territory of the United States of America in a rather distant 1939.

The invention was a film that was originally pasted only on roadside signs. Today they are used everywhere, allowing at the expense of the headlights at a sufficiently far distance from the sign to clearly recognize the inscription.

Soon, light reflectors appeared on cars, and then began to use in the production of workwear.

In the production of certain types of clothing with a reflective effect, certain technological nuances are applied. But they are all based on a single principle.

To create a surface that reflects the light directed at it, glass microspheres are used. When a light beam hits this surface, it is refracted inside twice. Therefore, the light is reflected in the opposite direction. If it is simpler to say, the light directed at any angle relative to the reflecting element will return to it without scattering and without changing its direction.

It is this brand that heads the list of manufacturers of sports gear, which most actively use inserts with a reflective effect in their collections. Therefore, if you like evening jogging and take care not only of fashionable appearance, but also of safety issues, we advise you to pay attention to Nike sportswear and shoes. Some models of outerwear are completely made on the basis of reflective fabrics, which provides excellent showiness and efficiency.

This company is very popular among those who need stylish windbreakers, equipped with the effect of the reflection of light rays. Developers use advanced technology to create collections. Some models can not only reflect the light, but also emit their own glow.

Excellent quality, excellent work of reflective elements is observed in the collections of specialized sportswear from The North Face. Not so long ago, they released a new line in conjunction with the Supreme, which created a sensation in the rather new segment for clothing manufacturers.

Maybe not so popular manufacturer of jackets with reflective elements, as the same Nike, but the brand managed to win their fans. One of the latest original designs is socks made in peas. What is most remarkable, it is these "peas" that provide effective light reflections. They make a person not only noticeable, but also quite original in the eyes of others.

It is desirable for both an adult and a child in the wardrobe to have at least a couple of items of clothing, the distinctive feature of which are reflective elements.

• When choosing a jacket for an adult, preference is given to ordinary elements, stripes without intricate geometry, the main task of which is to make you noticeable in the dark. In practice, it has been proven that the risk of accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians wearing appropriate jackets decreases significantly.
• If this is a jacket for a child, light reflectors should occupy more space than on an adult's jacket. So try to buy clothes where there are large, well-visible, even at a great distance, reflectors in the form of some drawings, images.

• Examine the list of brands available in your city that manufacture such jackets. Plus, there is always the possibility to order via the Internet, if the options presented in stores do not satisfy you for one reason or another.
• Price is not always an indicator. The scope of production of casual clothing with elements of light reflection is quite new, because most of the models presented are of good quality.

• The presence of the hood, pockets, rather an individual role, because here rely on personal preferences.
• Fabric against the film. Modern companies and leading apparel manufacturers have begun to use reflective elements based on special fabric. Cheaper models of jackets apply stickers. Here is the question of your budget. But still, in terms of practicality and durability, the fabric base is unrivaled. It withstands active use, does not wear out over time, can last far more than one season.

• Workmanship. The reflectors on the jacket, regardless of the complexity of their forms, must be smooth, smooth, without any defects on the surface.
• Feel and bend the reflectors. On good jackets, these light-reflecting elements should bend easily, but not be torn. If the flexibility is good, the effect will last quite long.

Jacket manufacturers have learned how to perfectly combine fashion with security. Such decisions have repeatedly saved lives.
