Annelie, for example, the only woman who won twice – to keep running races during the winter is one of the secrets behind the success.

– I think it will be easier to get back to racing form if it runs during the winter. I recommend that you run 1-2 times a week to avoid losing running feeling. Do it, it is really difficult to get out so take a while on the treadmill at the gym, says Annelie.

– Add also the more alternative training in the winter, when the body gets the chance to repair itself from any flaws. The key is to maintain fitness and cross-country skiing can be a very good option.

Before each winter season, many wonder how to dress when days and nights are dark and cold.

– I usually have winter tights and a little warmer running reflective jacket or shirt with underwear shirt underneath. It is like the foundation, and then I build on how cold it is. Is it really cold, it becomes both wind panties, knickers and an extra sweater or vest over the top layer? Maybe I change even out skin layer against something that resists moisture if such snows a lot, says Annelie.

The collection Craft Brilliance are tights with napped inside that keeps the heat and uppers with wind panels that protect against wind and rain. The garments are the extra reflective prints for good visibility in all directions – and, moreover, the collection of fluorescent paint to increase visibility. Other items in the collection Craft Brilliance here!

Annelie mean that there are few things that bring so much energy to get out and move around in the fresh air, even if you feel tired and tough when it gets dark early.

Reflective Clothing and Accessories for the Honda X-ADV

A complete line for the Japanese brand scooter, Termoscud apron, rainproof outfit, touring reflective jacket.

Tucano Urbano presents a range of clothes for the brand new Honda X-ADV scooter-trailer. The Italian brand wanted to design a complete line to pass safely from the city to the dirt roads, whatever the weather conditions.

Rainproof Super-Compact

The equipment maker this time drawn in his collection to offer a waterproof package to ride under all climatic conditions. Its polyamide exterior and welded seams are made not to let drops of water pass inside. The set includes a jacket and pants with reflective fabric prints on the back of the jacket, designed to be identical to those of the Honda X-ADV.

Touring Jacket

To keep you warm, Tucano Urbano has completed this line with a 4-pocket Touring jacket. This one is made of Oxford and Mesh fabric which adapts to all the conditions: it is in fact equipped with a detachable windproof lining and a waterproof insert against the rain and the wind.

Termoscud Apron

One more declination for the Termoscud! This waterproof nylon model takes its name from its patented thermoregulation system that uses hot air from the radiator. The two side deflectors can thus be closed to keep the hot air inside the apron. They can also be kept open to prevent cold air from entering when the engine starts.

Saddle bag

Tucano Urbano offers a saddle bag designed to be in harmony with the apron. A model made in the same reflective material as this one, waterproof. It is equipped with hooks to be able to hook it to the saddle.

The Honda by Tucano Urbano collection also includes hand protectors with integrated neoprene sleeves, tank protection, 6-pocket cargo pants, and summer gloves.

Pedestrian permits for primary students in safety vest

43 students wear safety vest in the class of CE2, Ms. Mages and Mr. Lemonsu primary school, received their “first certificate of education in the road,” the hands of Alain, responsible driver education track, and referent allowed pedestrian urban motorized brigade.

In the street, the child is particularly vulnerable, and hundreds of pedestrians’ children under 14 years are killed every year in road accidents. That is why we must teach children how to borrow the crosswalks, how to cross when the light is green for pitons and wear reflective vest to keep safe. The vehicles are stopped before traverse not to run.

Adults must set an example, and as the children did not understand these safety rules, continue to monitor and support. Children should be dressed in light-colored clothing or bright color and equipped with backpack or school bag fitted with reflective fabric they are required to walk along the pavement when it is dark, and also very important: the bring down the sidewalk side car.

Anne Valerie Hash celebrated at City of Calais lace with reflective material

The City of lace and fashion of Calais invited the French designer – and his fashion house – to expose its iconic reflective clothing items and to show the public his creative process.

This first French exhibition on Anne Hash will retrace its first thirteen years of creation. True reference in the world of fashion, the French designer is best known for his deconstruction of the masculine wardrobe, intended as women’s fashion, and more broadly for the way it combines the contrary, whether in terms of color, genres, materials or eras. His knowledge and passion of lace will also be highlighted, with the key to many pieces made with this noble reflective material.

A thematic

If it is a retrospective, the course he will not follow a timeline. The exhibition will evolve chromatically, from black to light, split into four themes (Divert function, Unbalancing symmetries, Move tuxedo, and Outsmart light).

From the beginning of the course, the audience will be immersed in the light of a workshop atmosphere, where it discovered a dozen canvases – a garment prototype in three dimensions – laid on dressmaker dummies. Rarely seen, these working papers will include everyone to discover indications of adjustments made by the designer.

The rest of the course will allow everyone to experience the style Anne Hash, which is said every year, the first piece, a dress made from a man’s trousers at the last, a suit tailor lace and reflective fabric.

In total, one hundred models – clothing pieces, videos and unpublished documents – its mark on visitors’ progress. If some pieces were on loan, most of them are from the personal archives of the house Anne Valerie Hash.

We will advise you how to outwit the selection of autumn safety clothing

The days are shorter, the temperature drops and gone are the days where we jogging enough to wear shorts and T-shirt with reflective fabric. We advise you to keep your body warm and how to take care of when running for his safety.

The most important thing that you need at lower temperatures resolved is thermoregulation. It’s not easy, because when running large changes in the intensity of movement, so very often happens that after a few minutes you will find that you are either too hot or not too cold.

Rule plus ten degrees

In practice, it seems that at the moment when you go out the door, you will be a little cold, but after a few minutes, your body warms up and during a workout, so you will not have to change clothes.

Not always but hit clothes just right, and that’s why it is good to use a system of functional layers. Instead wore a light shirt and a warm jacket, rather reach for a long undershirt, the first layer, which will remove perspiration away from the body. This keeps the necessary body heat and perspiration while allowing for his journey out into the environment. If it is really cold outside or going to the bad weather, round off your outfit a third layer as a light jacket, which protects you from the rain or wind. The jacket should however be as light as possible, so good sweat while you’re under it from overheating.

Membrane clothes

Reliable weather protection guarantee membranes, of which the best known and most accessible are those of the brand Gore, therefore Windstopper and Gore-Tex. These two materials can be the same as all of the membrane divided into two types – a material resistant windproof, or against soaking. As the name suggests, Windstopper belongs to the first category and ensures protection against the wind. For the needs of the runner the membrane is more practical, because unlike waterproof Gore-Tex Windstopper has significantly better breathability (not under it so much sweat) and also this material can withstand a little water.

Besides the membranes at term sports we wear often encountered with a simpler and cheaper alternative in the form of a surface coating. Such modified outer layer does not reach such excellent parameters as membrane performance, but at a more affordable amount so you can get a reflective jacket, which, while not entirely suitable for running in extreme conditions, but the city should suffice. The big disadvantage of the coating, however, is its limited life, which decreases with every washing.

Be seen

Long gone are the days when the sun set at nine in the evening, because most runners managed to collect training kilometers at dusk, or just after dark. If while you run or bike paths along the roads, you should without proper lighting at all sprout from the house.

Shine a light on the road

The best way to let you know about yourself is the active illumination. Classics are headlamps which can shine beneath his feet, and as a bonus you any oncoming vehicle just overlooked. Each element of this significantly increases safety on busy roads.

Reflective elements

An alternative to the active illumination light is passive. Although it is not as effective as when warmth and blink all the colors, but in most cases it will meet it. When choosing a new piece of clothing for the autumn-winter running and make sure that the outer layers of richly covered with reflective elements on damage is not significant presence of neon colors. They are very popular today; it should not be a problem to choose from a wide range of most cross-country brands.

If you have a wardrobe full of black clothes and wants you to buy more just because of a few centimeters of reflective material, for example, you can reach after a cross-country reflective vests, which are made of very soft and breathable material in neon yellow color. Newly appearing on the market as well as iron-reflective tape, which you can tweak your current clothes.

Day of the bicycle with reflective accessory

For some, they are environmentally conscious motorists with safety vest, other stay rider. Again and again motorists resent cyclists. We have compiled the 10 most annoying types of bicycles.

Four out of ten Germans climb regularly on the bicycle – for sports, shopping or the way to work. The joy of the two-wheeled transportation keeps many motorists, however limited. It often happens in traffic to dangerous situations between bicycles and cars. And every city there is quite typical cyclist. Here you can see an overview of the most annoying two-wheeler users.

The fight rider

The street is his kingdom, he is the king, the wheel his scepter. The fight rider takes his brake only to come to a halt at the destination while driving, it is only decoration. The denser the traffic, the faster it tries to squeeze through cars, motorcycles and trains.

No red light can stop him; no crosswalk compels him to pace reduction. And woe to anyone is so bold, his attention to his misbehavior. Hardly one of his trips lacks menacing fists skyward facing middle fingers.

The Schleicher

All time of the world. And above all, more time than motorists driving behind him and not gets past him. There is no evil intention; a lot more is the Schleicher with him, his bicycle – usually a city bike – and the whole world at peace. He brings other road users by its direction 0 km / h tending pace in a rage, he does not even notice.

The security fanatics

No matter how bright it is and whether the sun is shining: For security fanatics a yellow reflective vest is indispensable, a velcro in neon colors and reflective tape to the pants. Once he passersby or other cyclist approaches to around 100 meters is ringing, ringing, ringing ever…

Die Mami

She has at least one child in the child seat, or – in many cities more popular – in the bicycle trailer. Happy kicking slightly older tots along beside the mom-child team. That is, usually it is more behind it and mommy holds all five feet abruptly to look after her little ones: “Maximilian Joel, you come please” motorists who encounter such a tired family flock, must be vigilant.

The athlete

A wheel is not a means of transportation, but a sports device. And every journey is a training, road users are challengers, green traffic lights start character, red lights superfluous. Whether two kilometers or 20 kilometers – no distance is too short for skintight cycling shorts and embarrassing printed cycling jerseys with reflective fabric. The eyewear fits naturally colored it. But even more important than the appearance is of course the technology. A wheel under 5000 Euro is the name wheel and not worth a ride without a speedometer is lost lifetime.

And children will not wearing safety vest all the time.

STANDARDS FOR CHILDREN

The self – care and an example is the best advice that experts give risk prevention. Parents need to teach road safety to children (and not cross behind a car) to prevent future accidents. And also can buy some bags with reflective fabric for children. But it also has to lead by example, always putting on her seat belt.

Explain to your child that should not take arms, legs or head through the windows. Nor should it distract the driver.
