Visibility is very important. This safety triangle help you to be seen by motorists with omnidirectional reflection, and features the Adventure Cycling Association logo.
I use it on my recumbent, dangling from the seat back. Attachment took a bit of work to keep it stable. Came in super handy on my fall ride to Yellowstone.
A must have on road cycling!

I live in Rural Mississippi and I have the Garmin Radar light but still had cars passing dangerously around me. But once I added this safety triangle it's like they relate to slow-moving vehicles and to go around! I think the news and media need to do PSA on Bicycles rights on the roadways and for the motorist to fully understand how to react with us to keep all parties safe.

I got two of these to put on the back of my bikes. I already had one that i strap to the back of my bikepacking seat bag that is perfect. These are twice the size of the Aardvark brand that I have now. The Aardvark brand also has a couple of velcro tabs to hang from your seat. When the Aardvark brand are hung from the seat they sometimes rub the back tire, so there is no way I can hang these Jogalite back there and when I strap them to my seat bag they are way too big and just wrap around all sides, so more visible from the sides and less from the back than the Aardvarks. The Jogalite come with a belt that I guess you are supposed to wear around your waist? I cannot see how the belt would allow me to attach it to my bike. So, the quality of the Jogalite seems good enough, but the usability is sub par.

My wife and I are wearing the ACA’s safety triangles of our Transam trip this summer. We know that these improve our visibility and safety. One added bonus: we recognize other bicyclists who are associated with the ACA! When we were on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week we met up with a group of cyclists who all had safety triangles. They were all with a van supported Adventure Cycling group!

My old triangle was faded. A few years ago I watched a group of touring cyclists ride off into the fog one Florida morning. Though many had flashing red lights, the last thing I could see of each rider was their triangle. Wouldn't tour without it.

Much more visible than the 7-inch version. We all know that trikes are slow/moving vehicles, so this triangle is especially appropriate.

I have used a different brand for years on my recumbents, but they were only a 7" triangle. Now with the Jogalite 10" triangle the visibility to motorists is much better. What I've done now with my recumbent tadpole trikes is incorporate the 10" triangle centered on the rear of the trike and the older 7" triangles now will have a new home on the left side handlebar bag setup by the seat, which creates an illusion of a greater width to oncoming traffic. When coupled with several rear flashing lights and flags, it should promote more awareness for motorists.

This safety triangle is well made of quality materials. The best part is that in the blue light of dusk, the safety triangle really gathers what visible light is present and shines bright.
It happened that my tail light went out on my second tour day while pedaling a very busy stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. I'm here to write this review, so I think the safety triangle did it's job.
Also, I like supporting Adventure Cycling by buying from Cyclosource.

Of course I had to tinker with it a little. First I removed the belt which apparently was intended for mounting on a cyclist or jogger's slow-moving butt, then I added grommets to each of the three corners. Now it's mounted securely to the trike and doesn't flop around a bit. Perhaps the vendor would be willing to supply it that way for those of us who want to mount it on our wheels, rather than on ourselves?

This triangle is larger than an older model I bought some years back but is still within an acceptable size. It is highly reflective and the straps allow versatile mounting. Pretty much does everything expected and I highly recommend these for touring or other applications if one is on busy roadways.

My brother had one of these and we tested it for distance and angles. They are omnidirectional and shine brighter than anything else we tested. I was so impressed I immediately ordered two. Remember, most reflectors are unidirectional and were designed for car level reflection. These things shine at any angle like crazy. The goal is to be seen and not get run over and I am arming myself with these.

This is awesome!! I rode a fully loaded touring bike for so long without any reflective gear. I received one of these safety triangles on my Leadership Training Course that I did with ACA. I've been using it ever since, and I have noticed a HUGE difference. Now, it seems like I am much more visible to passing cars as they give me more room than ever, and barely ever get too close for comfort. Highly recommended. I also just ordered the new Safety Wing for a little extra visibility. I think combined, these two will be perfect.

I bought this triangle for my solo rides when it's too warm to wear my screaming yellow vest. This triangle, though worn with an uncomfortable webbed strap, guarantees that you will be seen by traffic approaching from the rear. Here are some suggestions for improvement: Instead of sewing the strap on, why not have a tunnel "belt loop" on either side of the top angle, with grommets on each side and point. That way, you could use the strap ( which could be elastic:)) or safety pin the triangle directly to your jersey, pannier, etc. I used my triangle today on an LA metro area ride (about 40 miles) with traffic. I felt a lot safer because of its presence on my back!

This triangle durable and very reflective/visible.
I only wish the edges of the triangle itself were a bit stiffer... (extra material, underwire, etc.) as depending on where/how it is placed, the top of the triangle sometimes partially folds over -- losing visibility of that part. So I'm considering options to provide some stiffening...
To be seen or not be seen, that is the question.

Great product: highly-visible on the road (and I love the logo).
I would change one thing in design though. The belt is permanently affixed. I would put two loops on the triangle instead, and thread belt through, so the belt can be detached, if desired. If, for example, I wanted to fasten it to the back pocket of my backpack, back of a panier, or another piece of hardware, I'd prefer to do it with safety pins or similar fasteners, and not necessarily with the belt (which can reposition itself).
Another point: It would be nice to have triangles available in three different sizes, the one I have being the medium size.

I purchased the safety triangle for use during a tour around Washington state, and was extremely pleased with the increased visibility it afforded, especially on the days I was forced to don a jacket over my high-visibility jersey. As I met other tourists along the Northern Tier route, it became obvious how easy it is for a cyclist to blend in, even with seemingly garish attire. For its size, the safety triangle is likely the best possible way to increase visibility during daytime riding.
I had no trouble using the integrated strap to securely attach the triangle to the back of my rack (on a Surly Big Dummy -- XtraCycle-compatible), though it looks as though it is primarily meant to go around the cyclist's waist. On a more traditional touring bicycle, I would probably try to attach it directly to a pannier or stuff sack, in order to make it easy to deal with on a daily basis.
