Reflective tape for panniers

[mckeown]

Im wanting to sort some reflective tape for my panniers as the nights draw in. I typically use SOLAS tape. Does anyone have any other recommendations? And where to purchase from?

3M black reflective tape. Reflects at night but you don't look like Superintendent Safety in the daytime.

I've used 3M before also
It sticks tight - line it up well before it goes on!

ive a piece of the red 3M tape on the rear of my black helmet....apparently its super bright at night even compared to the bike tail light.
The black version is epic....ive seen a few cyclists using it on mudguards.

Thinking about this again and my suggestion of the 3M black tape, you might not want it on the back because it reflects white, not red.

I used the black tape on the handguards of my last bike and they really did glow like lights when shined on. I have it the front of my car on the black trim of the door mirrors cut to the same shape and you would never know it was there in the daytime, but it looks like lights at night. (sad, I know)
