Running in the dark – ABSOLUTE360 Performance Running Quarter Crew Socks have received an upgrade to deliver 360-degree visibility
Running in the dark adds an extra set of challenges, one of which is to be seen and be safe. With that in mind, the ABSOLUTE360 Performance Running Quarter Crew Socks have received an upgrade – two retro-reflective stripes have been added to the cuff to deliver 360-degree visibility for your late night or early morning runs.
These performance running socks are part of the [BE SEEN] Collection, featuring bright fluorescent colours and highly reflective elements to aid visibility when running or exercising in hours of darkness.
Hi-vis garments feature materials which are retro-reflective, meaning they are effective at returning directional light striking their surface, back towards its point of origin. Vehicle headlights are a great example of how hi-vis products reflect the light coming their way.
In most cases these retro-reflective materials come in the form of a sticker which is heat-transferred to the garment. Over time, these stickers will peel off or crack. This is especially true for running socks, where the cuff, where the retro-reflective sticker is normally applied, gets considerably stretched.
The [BE SEEN] Performance Socks are different. A highly retro-reflective yarn has been used to create two luminous stripes on the cuff, to provide all-around high visibility reflection for safer running. This retro-reflective feature is built into the sock, which means it will last the lifetime of the socks and will never crack or peel off, like reflective stickers do.
Be Safe, BE SEEN
