I am interested in useing for night time bike rides. are the reflective strips picked up easily by a car's headlights, from a distance?

I've never worn it at night with cars coming at me but I can tell you it's very, very reflecting and visible in the distance with only an out-in-the-country yard light shining on it, so I would expect it to be good on the road. Hope this helps! : )

Honestly I don't know because I am the wearing the vest. I have been told by the folks I ride with they can see me if that helps

The vest is quite visible for bike riding at night. This is what I have used my vest for.

I would say no. I don't think they would hold up between the heat from the headlights and weather. They'd work if you were doing something inside your car...

I didn't use them for night driving. But, I don't recommend these for night drive. But these are great for computer usage for long times.

If you set several strips close to each other, yeah you can. Used on motorcycles ok.

Absolutely not. It enhances the glare from the street lights, if anything it's more dangerous when wearing them

I actually haven't used them in low light conditions. I purchased them for a music event that took place during the day. For being a low cost option they are very easy to use and offer a very nice clear view. I would imagine that you would still enjoy a pretty good view in a slightly darker setting.

yes they are bright enough to see in daylight for sure. I bought mine with the purpose of mounting to my Ducati Monster but the were more of a flood than a spot beam and too bright as headlights for night. I ended up using them as back-up lights mounted under my H3T truck.

No, these would be terrible at night. However, they are great during the day, especially for driving. What you're looking for is something like this HD Night Vision Wraparounds Wrap Around Glasses

They are actually pretty bright. I use them for brake light on my saddlebags, and they work well. I stuck them on the pc board that came with the bags. So they are behind red lenses as well. Hope this helps.

hi, they would be fine for night time use. I uploaded some pics ( in my review) of the goggles at night time, hope they help

yes they work great. I use them when I ride my motorcycle and they are tinted along with uv protection which makes everything clear and my eyes don't hurt even after being on the highway in the sun all day. Are they safe around a bright welding light no they don't take the place of welding shield but they work for daylight.

The lenses do not focus so it may not give clear definition of a trail during hours of darkness. I used them on my motorcycle so people can see me coming from a distance in addition to my normal headlight.

Candy, all I can say is for me they're ok as I have no trunk light for my 'basic' and economical motor vehicle. They're not BRIGHT, just bright enough to see a little without hurting your eyes. It was cold when I 1st bought the light making the push on/off feature a little difficult (it got better with the warm weather, no real problem now). There's no rust etc so you can say it's ok depending on what/where it's used. Probably a lot better somewhere stationary and inside.All that being said; I can't really say, sorry and good luck. :-)

i have them on my phantom and the strip is a tape with leds on it and just depends on how well you can apply the tape. i didn't have any problem and they do look pretty cool at night , really bright

Not if you mount them under the dash or seat. Only if you have them facing directly up is the intensity so bright you can see the glow outside of the vehicle

We purchased this for the exact purpose to find end of our driveway in the dark. It wasnt as what we expected. You can see some but not as reflective as we wanted. In the end we just bought some reflective markers and lenses from home depot. Hope this answered your question.

It works, but it has no reflective properties at all and it's barely bright enough to be seen. Also, it doesn't seem that every small part is aligned to fit well... things are kind of crooked and I'm pretty OCD so that bugged. I had to put it up under the fender far enough for some shadow, but still eventually had to go a different route. Good luck!
