Portland Reflector has released a big, shiny, detachable reflector that will turn any commuter’s jacket, bag or mumu into a cosmic space beacon of reflectiveness. Dubbed the Afterglow, this pair of large triangular (6.2″ on each side) reflectors uses incredibly strong magnets to allow the user to attach them to just about anything. On a coat, for instance, one reflective magnetic triangle is placed inside the coat, the other is placed on the outside, over the inner magnet and *plink*, there’s now a big reflective triangle attached to the coat. The obvious beauty of this design is the versatility. Keep a pair of these in your commuting bag and, should you get caught out after dark, you can attach it to almost anything and stay seen on the road…
The Afterglow comes in pink, blue, orange and chartreuse with all colors coming with a reflective silver mate, so either the colored triangle or the silver triangle can be visible, all for a reasonable $19. Also on offer are two other reflector products designed to fit on straps – backpack, pannier, messenger, whatever kind of straps you’ve got. All Portland Reflector products are made in the USA. Check them out if you’re a commuter, because you know at some point you’ll find yourself getting caught out after dark. And when you do, Portland Reflector reflectors don’t mess around. You will be seen.
