Automatically detectable by vehicles equipped with on-board cameras and/or LiDARs
The Detectable jacket the first jacket for cyclists combining visibility by the human eye and detectability by artificial intelligence. It marks a major turning point in the prevention of cycling accidents.
Pedestrians, cyclists, scooter or mono-wheel enthusiasts…
AND THIS NUMBER GOES UP TO 70% IN URBAN AREAS! *
Featuring UrbanReflect® retro-reflective fabric and coated with thousands of glass micro-beads, this jacket reflects light from vehicles with headlights up to 300 m. Wherever the light source is located, a number of beads are directed towards it and reflect the light.
DETECTABLE protects you from the rain while being breathable thanks to its micro-perforated membrane and its water-repellent coating. This jacket has a waterproof index of 10,000 schmerber (mm) and a breathability of 5,000 MVTR (g/m2/24h).
Continental has been a pioneer in road safety for 150 years. Today, only Continental knows the complete braking process down to the smallest detail: from its initiation by the driver assistance systems, to the brake pedal, to the tyre. This mastery allows Continental to set itself an ambitious goal, the zero vision: zero deaths, zero injuries, zero accidents.
ADAS, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are now widely deployed in vehicles. These are equipped with various sensors such as radars, LiDARs and cameras that constantly map the environment of the vehicles. Using artificial intelligence, ADAS systems assess the risks, inform the driver and intervene to secure the situation if the driver does not react quickly enough.
In 2018, the European Union decided to put in place a regulation making the installation of an emergency braking device mandatory for new vehicles. This initiative will reduce the risk of collision with another vehicle but also protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
COMPOSITION
. The reflective side of our jacket is 100% polyester with water-repellent treatment. It has reflective inserts up to 300m and a 10,000mm Schmerber waterproof membrane and 5,000 gr/m2/24h MVTR micro-perforated membrane for breathability.

CARE
Pollution and city traffic are messy and can alter the properties of our products. That's why we invite you to wash them regularly.
Here are our maintenance tips:
. Machine wash at 30° maximum. Wash your zipped jacket with the reflective side inside.
. Drying in the open air. Do not tumble dry
. Do not bleach
. Steam iron only, to remove wrinkles. Do not apply an iron to the fabric to avoid melting the waterproof membrane.
Take care of your jacket and it will take care of you! ;)
