SOLAS is the name an international treaty and stands for Safety Of Life At Sea.

The stuff slides around, so it's good to tack it down with a glue stick or something and then stitch (by machine or by hand).

Just finished adding the Reflexite on a backpack and making a reflective waist sash to go over the darker colored jerseys. The stuff is very easy to cut and stitch on.

Here's a pic of my first road frame (a touch too small for me), I cut sections of the "diamond" type reflective tape and had them on bits of the frame. As this tape is not very flexible, I used clear over th esections to keep them from falling off. I did'n't have any left over for my new frame, but I feel comfortable with my wearable reflective bits (leg bands, gloves, sash). I still use wider sections, taped together as reflectors on some of my wheels.
