The 'Flasher' armbands are a handsfree safety accessory for cyclists and runners alike to keep them visible when taking to the streets in low-light conditions. The armbands work by being positioned onto both arms and will immediately turn on with a flashing effect. Each one will trigger an automative emergency brake light when the rider slows down and will automatically light up bright red to keep motorists or other cyclists aware of what's going on.
The 'Flasher' armbands also work in jogging mode to keep runners visible when heading out at dusk, early in the morning or late at night. The comfortable design of the armbands will fit wearers of any size and will automatically adjust to ensure a snug fit.
