Visible Through Autumn And Winter: This Is How It Works

It’s that time again! As summer comes to a close and the days grow shorter, it’s crucial to ensure your visibility during twilight and dark hours. Whether you enjoy a morning jog, an evening walk with your dog, or a late paddle tour on your SUP board*, being visible to others is essential for your safety.

Achieving Good Visibility Made Easy

Achieving good visibility in everyday life doesn’t have to be complicated. By incorporating simple measures, you can significantly enhance your visibility to others. Consider wearing eye-catching clothing with integrated reflective elements or our Reflective Clip. Reflectors are an affordable alternative, particularly when it comes to being seen by approaching cars. As soon as you enter the light cone of a car or streetlamp, the light reflects off the reflective elements, making you more visible.

In addition to reflective clothing, a safety light like the Orbiloc Safety Light is a must-have. Proper lighting ensures that you remain visible even in complete darkness. It’s also important to provide good lighting for your dog. Allowing other road users and yourself to see your furry companion in the dark. For added safety, consider carrying a headlamp or flashlight to illuminate your surroundings and avoid potential hazards, such as protruding tree roots.

Colour Coding for Better Group Visibility

If you often engage in outdoor activities with a group or multiple dogs, utilising different coloured lights can greatly enhance visibility and group coordination. For example, when jogging with others in the evening, colour coding helps everyone keep track of their favourite running partner, identify anyone falling behind, or spot someone trying to escape from the group. Similarly, when walking multiple dogs in the evening, colour coding prevents confusion and ensures you know the location of each dog.
