Where are you?

It's a great idea but the cheap, inflexible plastic fit is a no go. I just don't like it. I don't know why. It's super inexpensive but integrated reflective material on a jacket seems like a far superior solution, although those jackets cost a fortune usually.
I put reflective tape on my jacket and mittens. On my mittens, I made an arrow pattern so when I stick my hand out, the arrow is my turn signal. I plan to put some more on my pedals and bike and shoes. Some of it is stealthy, so it won't show in the daylight if I can manage to match the colors.
