High-visibility apparel isn't just for work—it's also popular for fun. Runners, cyclists, and pedestrians often wear neon reflective shirts or vests for safety. Studies show that wearing fluorescent and reflective clothing can really improve drivers' visibility, which can prevent accidents. For example, a bright reflective shirt can make a jogger visible on the roadside well before a driver gets close.
These athletic safety garments usually have lightweight polyester blends and reflective striping (often as arm or shoulder bands) so the moving limbs also catch attention. Lots of sportswear brands now sell ANSI-compliant running vests and jerseys. In cold weather, reflective jackets or illuminated vests (LED-enhanced) are also used by outdoor enthusiasts.
CustomTok's safety tech works for these activities too. We've got printed reflective shirts that are perfect for teams that play outdoors or for recreational events. The same thermal transfer printing makes sure logos stay sharp on Lycra or polyester bike jerseys. The care advice is the same: wash it inside out and let it air dry to keep the fabric elastic and the reflective features in place. At the end of the day, whether you're working on a construction site or participating in a 5K charity run, reflective clothing is all about the same thing: making sure people can see you and stay safe.
