reflective letters

I have been looking into getting reflective tape but I'm very picky. I wish I could find some circles at least 3" in diameter that are diamond reflective rated. I can't find anything like that and I have to get a backpack cover and put reflective tape on it because the ones that would work perfectly for me are $60 after shipping which is rediculous. I live in the U.S. and nobody sells them from here so shipping is that much. I'm just wanting to see if there is any reflective letters that are bright and 3" tall if possible. Has anyone decked out their backpack cover or something similar with reflective tape?

They've got all kinds of reflective tape. Just get the size you want,trace letters/numbers with stencils,and cut it out.

I think reflective bike logos would be a nice touch on some factory commuter. Build in the reflectivity without having to increase the price too much.

Try writing "POLITE" on the back of a black shirt.
See the kind of respect you get biking.
