👉 Read this BEFORE you take your dog out in the dark next time.

Your dog wears a glow-in-the-dark collar in the dark. That way, you can see him from a distance. But people can hardly see you standing next to him.

And while your dog sniffs the streetlight, you start to feel cold.

It's not your fault. It's your jacket's fault.

1. Because your dog has a glow-in-the-dark collar, but you're barely visible in the dark

In the dark, all you can see of the dog is a tiny speck of light; you can't even see its owner standing right next to it

In the fall and winter, it's dark in the mornings and evenings when you're out for a walk. You walk right next to your dog. But many winter jackets are dark.

To a driver, it's just a tiny speck of light. He doesn't immediately realize that a person is walking right next to it.

If you're dressed in dark clothing, a driver won't see you until they're about 25 meters away (DGUV, Hamburg Police).

People see your dog. They hardly ever see you.

2. Because the yellow vest helps you get out of the car, but you don't like wearing it

Maybe you've already tried using the safety vest from your car. It makes you visible. But many people don't feel comfortable wearing it.

Plus, it's one more thing you have to remember. It often gets left in the car when the dog is already waiting at the door.

You rarely wear clothes you don't like.

3. Because with this down jacket, it's not just one stripe that reflects light—the entire body and sleeves do

On most jackets, only a stripe or a logo reflects light. On the Reflective Puffer, the fabric on the body and sleeves reflects light: in the front, back, and on the sides.

As soon as a headlight shines on the jacket, the " LUMI-TEX " Pro material reflects the light. Then you’ll see not just a small light, but your silhouette.

A point of light becomes a human being.

4. Because it's filled with real down and keeps you warm on walks

Your dog wants to sniff every streetlight. You just want to get back inside where it's warm. So you pull him along.

The Reflective Puffer is filled with real down, yet weighs only about 920 grams. The outer fabric is windproof and water-repellent. It can easily handle wind and light rain.

You're bundled up warm. Your dog is allowed to sniff around.

👉 Stay warm all winter long.

5. Because you don't have to turn anything on, charge anything, or put on any extra clothes

First, a full wardrobe; then a woman simply puts on her down jacket

Don't forget your vest. You need to charge your headlamp and pack it.

You'll put on your winter jacket anyway. It doesn't need a battery or a switch. It reflects light as soon as it hits it.

You put them on. The fabric does the rest.

👉 Be seen without even thinking about it.

6. Because during the day, it's just a regular, stylish down jacket

A lot of people want to be seen in the dark, but they don't want to walk down the street looking like a Christmas tree. You don't have to either.

In daylight, the Reflective Puffer looks like a perfectly ordinary winter jacket. It only reflects light when light hits it in the dark.

You no longer have to choose between looking good and being seen.

👉 Stylish by day, visible in the dark.

7. Because over 500,000 customers trust Valkental , and you can try the jacket for 30 days
