Reflective Ankle Bands with Very Large Reflective Area, 1,000+ ft Visibility, Straps for Biking, Running and Walking at Night - Bright, Lightweight & Comfortable

These have fulfilled their purpose and more. I selected these as my first piece of visibility gear, and wear them for running and walking at night. I wanted something removable that I could wear with any jacket and it had to be effective. I considered others that involved bright colors as well, but along the way I realized that I just wanted the reflective part (for fashion reasons as well as functionality) and found these. The product pictures sold me, and I can confirm their real-life potential. As reported by everyone else, they are super-bright when lit up by headlights; the reflectivity and surface area are spot-on. It's pretty great the first time you wear them and all of a sudden cars give you a lot of room and consideration! I am small, but wanted these for wearing over jackets. I was prepared to repurpose these if the fitment didn't work out for me. The length of the ankle bands fit the bill and more. I wear these around my upper arms (over winter layers) without issue, and they also fit without layers. They also fit me around ankle and knee for biking without my pant leg rolled up (their intended purpose). If I wanted to wear them around my wrists (I don't especially), I could even add more velcro elements (they make a wristband size as well). These bands have a comfortable amount of stretch that grips without being too uncomfortably restrictive. I have noticed that the reflective surface is cracked from being stretched to fit (this happened right away) but hasn't flaked off, which I was concerned about a year ago (when they were new) but not so much a year later. So far, I have refrained from washing them and they have a few smudges that I would rather live with than mess with. Looking at them now, I guess I can vouch for them working even when dirty (they deserve a wash, though). I often have these bands in my pocket and pop them on if I'm caught out after dark. I also have blinky l.e.d. armbands because I thought they'd be more attention-grabbing without the need for headlights (or whatever) to hit them (I decided this once I started biking). The blinkers do achieve what I wanted, with the limitations of being useless in daylight and annoying me to death, even when worn pointing backward. The end result is that I often wear an owl band on one arm and a l.e.d. blinking band on the other. I turn on the blinker when I'm around car traffic, then turn it off once I'm less in harm's way (the bike path, track, quiet neighborhood etc) and let the owl band do the work, leaving me in peace. In short, these bands are exactly what I was looking for at an attractive price. All around, the owl bands are more utilitarian for me than the l.e.d. bands (though I do use both). These are worth every penny and I would not hesitate to replace them if needed. If you're in the market for something like this, I think that you've found the best reflectivity for your buck. There are no downsides to the investment, just take a tape measure and pick your size.

I run and walk at night and needed a reflective band for my ankles. I wasn't sure if the size would fit me correctly so I also ordered the reflective wrist bands as well. While the wrist band wraps around my ankle, it leaves some velcro exposed because it doesn't wrap all the way around. The ankle bands, however, is long enough to leave no velcro exposed which is perfect! I was planning on returning the pair of reflective bands that doesn't fit my ankles correctly but I decided to keep the wrist bands as well as they fit perfectly around my wrist. As you can see from the pictures I posted, they're very reflective in the dark. I've got two other reflective waist belts next to it for comparison. What I like about these ankle and wrist bands is that the reflective strip is wide which occupies the majority of the band. Also, I do like the black color in combination with the reflective strip. The neoprene on the inside is also comfortable and soft. I'd definitely recommend getting these bands for your safety.

The ankle bands are excellent! Very visible . I bought extras

These are nice bands - they’re comfortable, soft, very reflective, and hold well. They’re just too short. I have average size ankles, and they barely close over pants. I have to wear them low enough to be in the smallest part of my ankle. I wish there was some adjustability to it. Maybe another piece of Velcro?

These reflective ankle bands are the brightest reflector bands I have ever seen; they work great at night for cycling, but they would also work great for running or walking. They are very durable as well.

Bought these because i walk and jog in poor light, often in the early morning or evening. The good: These bands are functional in that they do reflect a good amount of light back to the source. They are easy enough to put on and take off, and the velcro sticks appropriately. The bad: I own a pair of new balance bands with genuine 3M fabric. They are almost 5 *TIMES* brighter in terms of capturing light and returning it to the source. These work, but not nearly as well. The size and adhesion of the bands is inconsistent, and they must be 'tightened down' pretty good or else they come loose while running.

I’ve been using these almost daily for two years and they are still holding up very well. They also still look fairly clean even though I’ve never actually cleaned them. The reflective surface seems to repel dirt very well and this keeps them looking pretty sharp. Measuring over my pant leg my ankle measures about 11 inches in circumference, and these reflectors easily fit me with room to spare. I tried several different brands of ankle reflectors, and these are far superior to the others I’ve used. Money well spent.

I purchased the smaller size and wrap these around my rain pants every morning when I commute to work by bike. They hold my rain pants in place over my boots to prevent rain from getting in and provide amazing reflectiveness. You can definitely be seen in the dark when light hits your ankle which is the purpose. I'm very petite so my only wish is that I should have purchased the larger size to give me a little more room since they are going around my pant legs. Still I am very happy with the quality and purpose of these.

Not very reflective at all

OK so it is a bit sad perhaps to have strong feelings about ankle bands but... I cycle a lot and I am fed up with having bands that are too tight or which don't fasten properly or which you cannot find the ends of to unfasten. These are wide, fit easily and strongly, are reflective, could not fall off, are easy to take off and well made. They are quite pricey perhaps but they are the only ones you will need and I would buy the same again if I lost them.

Die Fahrradstraps entsprechen absolut meinen Erwartungen. Sie reflektieren gut und der Klettverschluss hält auch Bombenfest. Für den Preis kann man sich echt nicht beschweren! Gerne wieder.

反射してよく見える。海外のコメントで宇宙からでも見えるというのがあったが、それくらいよく光って見えるのは確か。あまり延びないので足首の太い人や厚手のズボンなどで間に合わない場合もあるかもしれない。私の場合はチェーン側の右足にしか装着しないので、2本あればしばらく使えそう

Las mejores tobilleras que he usado. Se sujetan muy bien y son muy reflectantes. Las compré a principios de año, las uso todos los días y el material resiste muy bien.
