Macna Night Eye riding apparel
MACNA Night Eye riding apparel
The Macna apparel programme is the brainchild of Patrick Kant, of Splash Design at Veghel in The Netherlands, and at EICMA the company introduced what it is calling a revolutionary new apparel technology called “Night Eye”. In a dramatic display on their booth, the Macna line has found a technology that allows a normal looking daytime riding jacket to “shine like a traffic sign” at night, without the use of a power source. Microscopic glass beads in the “Night Eye” fabric work as small reflectors which return light back at the source and make the whole surface of the fabric light up in a car’s headlights, even from a very long distance according to the company. www.macna.com
