The Infinity 2 Flare boasts greater night time visibility for riders
If you ride in low-light conditions and don’t want to use a hi-viz vest, this jacket might be the one for you
THE INFINITY FLARE 2 jacket is textile all-season motorcycle jacket with the added bonus of featuring 3M Retro-reflectivity. The material ensures riders are seen in low light conditions, but without having to wear the brightly coloured hi-visibility clothing worn by road workers and riding instructors.
Retro-reflectivity helps the eye perceive objects in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source, for the rest of the time (normal daytime riding conditions) the reflective area remains grey. Retro-reflectivity, as the name suggests, occurs when light rays are returned in the direction they came from – e.g. from car headlights – therefore appearing brightest to the observer near the original light source. In the case of car headlights, the jacket would appear brightest to the driver and passenger of the car. Due to the way the light is returned, the retro-reflective materials enhance the contrast of the wearer for the observer near the original light source as little of the returned light is scattered.
Based on the popular Infinity 2 jacket, the Infinity Flare 2 boasts features such as D3O® armour at the shoulders, elbows and back as standard, an Air Vent System (AVS) to keep riders cool and two detachable layers – a thermal liner and a removable waterproof membrane – to ensure riders are kept warm and dry. This level of customisation makes the Infinity Flare 2 extremely versatile and a perfect choice for those riders taking to the road all year round in all weather and light conditions. It is also washable so riders can keep it fresh and clean.
The Infinity Flare 2 jacket is available in black/grey/fluo in sizes S-6XL with an RRP from £269.99.
