Reflective helmet paint helps night safety

Created as a limited run in Italy, these Arai Vector helmets use a retroreflective paint to increase safety at night. That reflective clothing and helmets increase safety is a given, but they’re often not used because they make you look like a hall monitor rather than a badass biker. Paint like this, available from 3M and other companies, could be incorporated into helmet designs straight from the factory with little to no effect on their daytime looks. We just hope to see better integrated designs than these flames. Laek House bicycle clothing is a great example of how good looks and functional safety can be combined.
