Yeah, didn't look so great. I'll stick to my day-glo vest, lights and reflective tape.

Might be OK as just an add-on or along-with but not on its own. I'm not sure cagers would decipher the light code either, or for that matter notice different colors.

Yeah, maybe it is a cool concept, but i think that cagers need something simple like a bright light as some reflective tape and such. I imagine all the lights on that jacket just confusing a driver making him run right into you.

He needs to get a vest like I have with two rows of red blinking lights front and back. It really shows up in the dark

I like how the name of the product (or company?) is REACTIVE.
Shouldn't safety things like that be PROACTIVE? hahaha
