# Reflective Metropolitan Map Jackets Showers Pass' Atlas Jacket Keeps Cyclists Safe at Night By Joey Haar | Published 2017-02-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlas-jacket References: [showerspass](https://www.showerspass.com/products/mens-atlas-jacket) Showers Pass, a cycling gear and apparel company based out of Northern California, has released a new piece of safety clothing called the [Atlas Jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlas-urban-messenger). Like most other cycling gear, the jacket is printed with [reflective material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciele-nite-rite) that illuminates its rider during the night — what separates the Atlas Jacket from other is the pattern of that reflection. Showers Pass' jackets come with 11 designs, each of which displays the street map for a different cycling-friendly city. The cities depicted on the Atlas Jacket are: Portland, New York, Washington DC, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, London, Newcastle, Berlin, Sydney, and Taipei. Thanks to the way the material is cut during production, the maps are impressively granular, giving a detailed look at the cities depicted while still keeping riders brightly illuminated for traffic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reflective Metropolitan Map Jackets:** Opportunity for incorporating detailed street maps of different cities on reflective cycling jackets to enhance safety. ### Where This Applies - **Cycling Gear and Apparel:** Potential for innovative safety clothing designs that combine functionality and style for cyclists. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for incorporating reflective map designs into other outdoor gear for enhanced visibility. - **Urban Transportation:** Potential for integrating reflective map designs into urban commuter clothing and accessories for increased safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Adventure-Ready Durable Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/explore-collection.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [All-Weather Travel Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpargali-jacket.md) - [Phosphorescent Color-Changing Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollbak-firefly-jacket.md) - [AR-Themed Jacket Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beta-ar.md) - [Neoshell 3-Layer Textile Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squad-jacket.md) - [Stylish Safety Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-helmet-reflective-star-decals.md) - [Protective Silver-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket.md)
