Decoration method

Reflective transfers for visibility and safety

Reflective transfers are made from vinyl with a metallic, reflective base that causes light to reflect back when light is shone on it. They add visibility to your garments, whether for safety or appeal.

How it works

Reflective transfers at Glacier Clothing

Reflective lettering on the back of a crew jacket or the sleeve of a rescue shell is easy to read in headlights and headlamps. It is applied like a vinyl transfer, so simple shapes and bold text work best.

Fabrics that work well

  • Nylon and polyester shells
  • Hi-vis shirts
  • Soft shells
