starlight bike jacket by liesel sylwester from usa

Style is of utmost importance in Seoul, but much of the clothing designed for cycling is decidedly athletic-looking and less than fashionable. Cycling will never become fashionable unless one can look fashionable while cycling.

This jacket is designed to meet the needs of a cyclist while keeping up with current fashion trends. Especially in a highly populated urban area like Seoul, where cyclists must share the road with cars, visibility is extremely important for safety.

The jacket features a number of LEDs embedded in the seams on the back and down the sleeves, which will make the cyclist visible to motorists at night and in bad weather, and eliminate the need for additional bike lights. It also has reflective trim, which the LEDs will highlight, further increasing the visibility of the cyclist. The fabric is a unique technology that stores power from the body’s movements and uses it to power the LEDs. The fabric is also waterproof and provides UV protection, keeping the cyclist safe and comfortable in any weather.
