Higher Visibility and Emergency Response – With Reflective Straps and Whistle
Reflective strips on the shoulder straps increase visibility in low light conditions, and an attached emergency whistle gives a simple audible signalling option. Both features are integrated into the shoulder area for quick access.
Greater chance of being seen at dawn or dusk and a ready whistle for attracting attention in an emergency.
