French Theatre company KTHA have created these ULTRA bright safety outfits using fabric supplied by Ahead Solutions. The fabric made by 3M is used in the manufacture of our (also world famous) MovoBright personal safety reflector which works from 360 degrees. The hydrophobic surface is covered with millions of microscopic glass spheres; every one acting as a separate reflector. The effect similar to safety vest tape is stunning. So if you happen to be in Paris and see what looks like an extra terrestrial coming your way... do not be alarmed... it may just be a member of KTHA! More product details on the fabric here.

So we were shouting about this back in 2013 perhaps a little prematurely but you know the saying... all good things. MovoBright Red is now officially available from the MovoBright website and from here on this site. This product has been requested by many users of our original MovoBright 360 reflector launched by Lee Cunningham & Phill Connell of MountainBikingResources.com at The NEC Cycle Show 2012. See launch video here. Product features: MovoBright Red
World's Most Effective Cycle Reflector?
So what would it take to be the world's most effective cycle reflector? Visible to motorists from the greatest distance or visible to the most number of motorists simultaneously from all around a cyclist? MovoBright cycle reflectors are highly effective for cyclists in both these areas but we've taken into account a third safety factor: -
We're delighted to be creating a brand new range of t-shirts for cyclists with designs by Phill Connell. "I've Got This!" is the first of a number of designs that we've commissioned to be created in reflective print and has already had great interest from cyclists throughout the UK. Phill joked: "The t-shirt is a celebration of cycling mediocrity. It captures the moment where enthusiasm and gravity triumph over talent. We've all been there." Click the images to have a closer look at this great design or go here to get yours. Get ready for a rear cycle reflector that waves goodbye to the 60 year old limitations of the conventional cycle reflector. MovoBright Red reflects from any angle from all the way around; there is no diminishing reflection - no limited effectiveness. As you would expect MovoBright Red uses the same powerful combination of bright reflection with a gentle random movement to maximize motorists' attention of the cyclist / rider from the greatest distance. More very soon! Following the success of its range of 360 degrees safety reflectors Ahead Solutions today announces that it will launch MovoBright 360 Tail; a 360 rear reflector in 2013. The original MovoBright is the world's first ever 360 degrees cycle safety reflector. It was launched at The Cycle Show (2012) and has gone from strength to strength. MD Lee Cunningham commented: "MovoBright 360 Tail is both challenging and exciting. The excitement occurs when you physically see the effect - and huge additional safety impact - of what a 360 reflector achieves; when its brightness is coupled with its gentle random movement it's really difficult to miss it. The challenge has been what material to use in the construction; to date red retro-reflective material used on say a fireman's uniform actually shows up brilliant white to a driver. Of course it needs to be red. We've finally cracked it and are really excited to announce that we expect to launch the new product later this year. Ahead Solutions manufacture a range of 360 reflectors: MovoBright, TubeBright and MovoBright Ice.
