LED gloves for winter bikers

Urban night bikers risk a lot when in the winter when it gets darker earlier. That's why bikers try to wear reflectors and bright clothes to stay better visible for drivers.

Designer Irene Posch’s “Early Winter Night Biking Gloves” are a nice solution to the problem of signalling when riding at night. The gloves have five LED lights, which are in shape of an arrow. Like this arm signals for turning to the right or left are easily notable, even from a distance.

The gloves are made out of wool gloves, conductive yarn, and five LEDs, which are powered by a single coin cell battery.
