Dritz Iron Reflective Ribbon in Vibrant Yellow - Enhance Visibility and Safety Review

Just a few minutes with a hot iron and I saved my two grandchildren (6 and 8) from traffic accidents. This is especially important NOW when it gets dark in the wintertime when school closes. My only complaint is that they don't work when the fabric is nylon. I solved this problem by threading loops through different parts of their backpacks and welding the ends together with an iron.

This product is pretty easy to use once you read the instructions. Use a dry, warm iron and don't remove the plastic wrap until you're done. At night I was told that it properly lights up my jacket and I can be seen clearly by the cars behind me. I still can't tell if they're on the sidewalk or the street, but at least they can tell where I am. After washing my jacket, the corners dangle a little but barely move from the edge; That's why I only give four stars.

My camera flash lets you see how reflective the tape is and one without…

The tape appears to have melted into the fabric, glued very well and the film peeled off with no problem. I put some tape on the end to make it easier without tinkering and the tape peeled off right…

In the box it looks disappointingly dull, not at all like the photo. When ironing, however, it reflects the light just as brilliantly as advertised. The instructions on the back of the packaging were simple and correct: unfold, iron on, then peel off the protective film. Black. Problem solved, cheap, quick and easy! Edit: It's been about a year and I still haven't been hit by a car, which is good. However, the tape is slowly peeling off in small strips. It's on the back of an unwashed coat…
