I got my Alertshirt package today. Bright. Sheesh, really
bright. My green laser does a fabulous show on the
reflective striping. But listen, if you order some of these,
you've got to get a size larger than you think you need.
Wicking knits usually stretch but the reflective taping on
these shirts doesn't give. Not at all. Not even a little
bit. So if you like to wear a stretchy medium to show off
those abs or pects, you won't be able to get one of these
over your chest. No way, you just can't.
I was planning on sewing a zipper into one of mine for some
added ventilation but now I must do so just to get enough
room to make it wearable.
Good quality microfiber, excellent craftsmanship on the hot-
glued 3M reflective tape, reasonable prices. I got 2 short
sleeves and one long sleeve for about $60, including
shipping. That starts at only about $8 each for the shirts
but the striping is another $7 each and almost ten bucks for
shipping. Hmm, come to think of it, that's $20 a shirt,
perhaps that's a bit steep. Oh, well, at what price
visibility? I'm worth it.

You'll notice the recumbent rider at their Web site. I think
they could reposition the striping to more appropriate
locations for us, high up on the shoulder blades and down
the bakc of the arms, but the company doesn't respond to
product suggestions.
