Dear Cycling Family,
Before launching Backerkit (get ready for that it's gonna be fun) we wanted to clarify the difference between the red and hi-vis color in terms of visibility.
Why ? Because you asked!
Here's the story.
One month ago we had a meeting to pickup the official "red" color that will be used for your jackets.
Today we are happy to share with you the results! They look very similar on the photos but they are quite different in real life haha.
Of course, we tried to make it as bright as possible for visibility purposes.
Still the Hi-vis Yellow is brighter than red. Red is the next brightest color after hi-vis yellow.
In anyways, both are very visible thanks to the reflectives stripes and the real difference can be made by integrating the magnet lights in your jacket.
If you could not order them via Kickstarter, no worries, you will be able to get them in Backerkit.
We also wanted to share a picture of all the friends who gathered to spend the last seconds of the Kickstarter Campaign with us.
Our office is on the last flor.
Last but not least, we wanted to feature some friends of us who helped us during our campaign as well:
Ride in Peace!
