# Nocturnally Illuminated Outerwear The Crescent Windshell is Subtle in Daylight and Bright at Night By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crescent-windshell References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/sleek-and-stylish-lunis-crescent-windshell-cycling-jacket-increases-cyclists-visibility-at-night/) & [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lunis/lunis-redefining-reflective-outerwear-for-urban-cy) Many cyclists do care about how they look and often op out of purchasing [flashier jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anomaly-cycle), even if they guarantee superior visibility after sunset. The Crescent Windshell is wonderfully unoffensive and would certainly appeal to those bikers who appreciate a much more subtle sporty style. Designed by Lunis Reflective, this windbreaker is made in a [weather-resistant material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pieces-for-rainy-days) that's remarkably lightweight. The fine fabric can be folded or scrunched up into a tiny pouch and kept in your pocket when it's not needed. Made in a universally-flattering black, the Crescent Windshell is patterned with a repeated T-shaped motif that's applied in a [highly reflective silver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melin-agame-icon-hydro). The design is barely visible during the day but, after dark, it's discernible from quite a distance away. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Reflective Sportswear:** Designing sportswear with reflective materials and patterns for nighttime visibility. - **Subtle Nighttime Visibility:** Creating products with subtle daytime designs that become more visible at night with reflective elements. - **Multi-functional Apparel:** Designing apparel that is lightweight and can be compactly stored when not in use. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sportswear:** Opportunities to design sportswear with reflective materials and patterns for nighttime visibility. - **Outdoor Gear:** Creating apparel and gear for outdoor enthusiasts that can be compactly stored when not needed. - **Cycling Industry:** Opportunities to design cycling wear that balances both daytime subtlety and nighttime visibility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High Visibility Activewear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciele-nite-rite.md) - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Sleek Illuminating Runner Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumabelt.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Functional Timeless Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soeur-x-kway.md) - [Award-Winning High-Performance Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-bike-light.md) - [Illuminated Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight.md) - [Adventurous Alpine-Ready Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houdini-moonwalk-houdi.md) - [Omnidirectional Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vis-lightpool-taillight.md)
