Visibility Rules on the Roads!

With the clocks going forward, many people think with the lighter days and evenings, comes greater visibility when riding to and from work. This is a common misconception and RESPRO, the experts in Hi-Viz safety products, advises that the rule on high visibility is that it should be a consideration ALL YEAR round while riding on the roads.
RESPRO MD Harry Cole advises; “Just because the clocks go forward, it doesn’t mean you can get rid of anything that resembles fluorescent yellow to keep yourself visible.

In fact more bikers on the road during the summer months could be said to potentially equate to more accidents. So – the ‘Visibility Rule’ is…use it all year round!”

The Respro Hump backpack cover is a simple effective solution to resolve Hi-Viz concerns as it performs several functions at the same time.

It will give fantastic visibility from behind and the sides night and day – it’s waterproof too so will protect backpack contents from water damage and can be simply removed and stored in a rucksack when not required.

Available in several ‘Day Glo’ colourways, the Hump is perfect for daytime visibility. Its 3M silver reflective strips afford night time visibility by reflecting light from car headlights, enabling motorists to clearly see bikers.

The Hump backpack cover fits over an existing backpack (15- 30 Litres except H60 version) and fastens around its waist. It also features an elasticated edge that grips the backpack, stopping it from flapping around.

The Hump is available in 18 different options and the new Motorcycle range features the same waterproof and Hi-Viz qualities as the very popular cycle Humps but without being totally garish.

The motorcycle Hump is £19.99 and available from Infinity, Metropolis and Hein Gericke dealers or online at www.respro.com.
