    I think the nikkalite from paperco is a class 2 product, the flourescent you need to be aware that alot of them only have a six month shelf life but i am fairly sure that scothcal do one with a 2 year life that will be Spandex then!

    good advice here from Martin. Most reflectives are class 2 unless they say otherwise. Andy Gorman is ‘da man’when it comes to that sort of advice.

    3M & Oracal both do a two year fluro. Pretty expensive too.

    CAREFUL! Class Ref 2 (BS12899) Is actually the old Class 1 (BS873). The people who write the regulations are obviously having a giggle because class 1 and 2 switched in the new standard.

    Regards

    Robert

    By the way try Rennicks for the Class Ref 2 material. Speak to Linda Young at Runcorn. Tell her Robert @ Parkes referred you.
