A notable cyclist

The safety on modern roads with heavy traffic for cyclists is a serious problem. Drivers often do not pay attention to two-wheeled transport simply because they do not notice it. The cyclist and the driver have different opinions of the traffic situation, especially at dusk. The first is not taking the necessary precautions, and the second makes a hit. Cycling jacket, Visijax makes its owner visible on the road. Properties of the jacket tested by the experts of the portal Biker Radar.

In daylight the jacket is not impressive. Similar products of reflective materials – a dime a dozen, they are all similar, if judged from the point of view of influence on the safety of the cyclist. However, with the sun setting value Visijax becomes visible to the naked eye.





Feature of waterproof clothing – 23 integrated bright led, ahead of six white, five red rear and green, six on each sleeve. Their purpose is to identify the cyclist in the dark.

To power the LEDs, there are three batteries of format AAA. A plastic box with batteries and switch is a pocket. It is convenient. To get to the switch, no need to stop to remove a jacket or gloves. The alarm can be turned on by pressing the button through the cloth of the jacket directly while driving.

As for the power supply, in the opinion of the investigators Biker Radar, plastic box protects weak batteries from moisture. Perhaps a more plausible solution would be to use sealed batteries.

The LEDs on the sleeves operate as direction indicators. Unlike a car, for their on or off is not necessary to use a mechanical switch. Bike turns react to the position of the sensor and switch on automatically when the rider takes hands installed traffic signals.

The rear red LEDs are located at the level of the waist. Why in this place, it becomes clear, if you wear a backpack. The LEDs are still visible and doing its task.





The brightness of the LEDs is impressive. In combination with reflective materials, they provide excellent visibility of the cyclist. Perhaps, today, the Visijax jacket is the only product that has similar properties.

In addition, the use of the jacket gives the rider additional inconvenience. The jacket vented underarms, adjustable cuffs and soft collar. Testers say that when riding in cold weather it was warm but they don't sweat as often happens, if the fabric has the desired air permeability.
