There are Most reflective material is designed for
white light and will glow whenever some light hits it. There are also fluorescent
materials that convert UV into visible light or may require special glasses and
the tritium based products which are actually radioactive. I prefer the
prismatic materials because they are brighter, usually have a clear coat so
they can be cleaned, and are widely available. It all depends on whether you use your
gear for all your riding or just some of it. If you can afford to
dedicate a set of tack for MSAR riding, (headstall, reins, saddlebags, saddle)
then striping with reflective material makes sense. If you can’t,
or don’t, investing in a fluorescent orange helmet cover, a reflective
vest, may have to suffice. You must be comfortable while in the saddle
and not worrying about what you are wearing or how it affects your ability to
ride. A uniform appearance is nice, especially for parades, but
effectiveness in the real world is what counts. Irv Lichtenstein From:
