| About V-BandzHigh Visibility Products for the Rider - Horse - PetV-Bandz has been a leading innovator in equestrian high visibility for 10 years. Our product range for the rider has been tested and certified to the European standard of EN1150 (waistcoats and tabards) and EN13356 (accessories such as rider hatbands) which means that you can be sure you are buying a quality product which will last and provide additional safety day and night. CE-certification is compulsory for all rider high visibility wear - if the item doesn't comply - DON'T BUY! . We are part of the BETA CE Certification Scheme for high visibility. Look for garments with this logo on the product or packaging. These products have been accepted by BETA as fully independently certified products.
Why bother to wear Hi-Viz?Wearing High Viz means even in the brightest of sunlight you and your horse will be much more visible to drivers. The fluorescent colour is seen by the human eye up to 3 seconds sooner than any other colour, even white. This means that a car travelling at 50mph could see you 250 meters sooner than when you are wearing no hi-viz at all. Take a look at the pictures below; these were taken on a bright sunny day under the shade of trees.
We are not saying that car drivers cannot see the horse on the left - but they will certainly see the horse on the right first - hence the extra 3 seconds - Keep Safe!
