About this deal

By the way, there’s an interesting twist to this story: LEDwear, the company that developed the technology, found the webBikeWorld review of the Roadgear LED vest (review) and read the comments submitted by wBW visitor “D.J.W.”. As the nights draw in, it is important for cyclists to be seen. Photograph: Alex Broadway/Getty Images for OVO Energy Up to 10 business days for delivery. We do not take any responsibility for unforeseen delays at the customs. Thanks to its state of the art wearable technology, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you will not fail to be seen. That is to say, my first reaction was that even our desire to be seen can be taken to an excessive level, where our “cool factor” is totally negated by our outerwear (let’s face it, motorcycles are cool, implying that we, too, are cool).

LEDwear has a patent on the design, so it’s possible. But they are certainly very intense — more so than the typical LEDs used in motorcycle brake lights or LED flashlights I’ve seen. This contrasts nicely with the high-viz yellow and to a certain extent provides a different type of visibility due to the contrast.The only down side I see to this item would be if the female scientist from The Andromeda Strain happened to drive up behind you. Sure the brake light flashes “Bored to be Wild”, but that probably doesn’t offset the geek factor [no I didn’t misspell bored]. All seriousness aside, I wonder if anyone has ever spent a few hundred million taxpayer dollars studying the effect of flashing lights on motorists. The flashing pattern is somewhat mesmerizing.

LEDwear says the batteries should last about 100 hours and the LEDs have a projected lifespan of 100,000 hours. What is the use of all that visibility if you can’t see? Scary stuff. Definitely not for motorcyclists! For that they would have to install a switch for the front LEDs and make the vest fully waterproof.” All that front illumination would be dangerous as it would create reflections on your windshield, your arms (covered in bright yellow material), handlebar, etc. The battery box has a rubberized membrane switch on top, and each time it’s pressed it cycles the lights through 3 different stages. Editor’s Reply: I think you’re right on the money here, I should have emphasized this more, the idea wasn’t to wear it all the time with the LEDs on (although I suppose it could be done).The high-visibility yellow and bright reflective vertical stripes alone would be probably be enough to warn away sleepy cagers, but the LED light sequences are phenomenal. First, the LEDs will blink in an intermittent mode that looks very much like the light cycling seen on a police or fire vehicle.

The flashing red lights would put her into an epileptic seizure, and she would plow through you and your bike like a hot knife through butter, never even knowing she hit you. The third press puts the lights into the “always on” mode, which would probably be best for motorcycle riding at night, because some local laws may prohibit riding with blinking lights. And I am not a slave to looking cool. I admit to having added an extra flashing LED brake light and flashing LED turn signals to my cruiser. The LEDs could then be turned on in foggy conditions, in stop/go traffic, when pulled over to the side of the road, during maintenance or on courier duty in the city.LED suits are cool but this suit has an incredible design that allows the material itself to light up. The fabric actually illuminates! TrYptiX Fashion’s LED Suits are among the only ones in the world that actually change color. What does this mean? It means not a lot of people will be dressed like you, which is good. You deserve to feel special. It works very well as a highly visible over-garment; the reflective stripes provide visibility at night; and the LEDs are there for emergency or low-visibility conditions.

The garment isn’t designed strictly for motorcycle use, but LEDwear promises more uses of the technology in other apparel designs. One more press turns the lights off, and then they can be cycled through the different modes again.
