How Reflective Jackets and Raincoats
Provide
Daily Safety
Recognisable at a glance
Distinctive blue, reflective strips and an inclusive symbol give sighted people a clear cue that the wearer is blind or visually impaired.
Respectful help, sooner
Recognition helps people slow down, give space, communicate clearly and ask before offering assistance.
Visible across conditions
Reflective elements increase conspicuity in low light, while raincoats carry the same recognition signal through wet weather.
