A new company out in Pittsburgh called Fiks: Reflective Clothing has been working on a line of apparel that reflects light and helps bikers and runners become visible while out at night.
Based on the idea that most reflective clothing companies do not provide clothing that is stylish, Fik: Reflective Clothing is designed to be fashionable so that you can wear it out to social events without looking silly. The shirts contain three separate reflective graphics; one on the front, one on the sleeve and one on the lower back so that messenger bags/backpacks won't block the reflective writing.
All of the shirts are made with fresh guard technology and created using a commercial heat transfer process.
Fiks: Reflective Clothing is owned by designer and entrepreneur Nick Drombosky.
