I finally got two DIY projects kicked-off this weekend.
By good research and planning I got hold of the components necessary to build an interface between my dive computer and my nice new Palm PDA.
By pure luck, I got hold of the stuff necessary to test some ideas about reflective materials...
So I'd just like to ask a few questions about the stuff.
1) Who's got reflective patches on their kit? Drysuit, BCD, SMB, wherever..
2) What do you think about them? Great idea, not worth bothering about, prefer not to have them, or what?
3) If it were possible to get your cylinders coated with the stuff, would you do it or not? Why?
In case of any doubts, I'm not talking about a mirror-finish or anything: It's the grey tape stuff you get on those bright yellow jackets that policemen and construction workers all seem to wear these days, that just shine at you from the darkness when you're driving.
I have them on the cuffs of my Otter drysuit, Buddy jackets have them on the pockets IIRC, some SMBs have them stuck around the top... they appear in a fair number of places. So what are people's thoughts about them?  |
