EZtar Reflective Tape, 2 × 12 × 10 PCS Red & Silver High Intensity Self Adhesive Waterproof Trailer Outdoor Safety Caution Reflector for Cars, Trucks, Trailers, Boats, Road Signs

I first became familiar with DOT-approved tape when black carbon fiber paddles, easy to lose in Wisconsins tannin-stained waters, became popular. I got that tape when a truck-driver kayaking companion suggested that I put tape on my blades to make a paddle dropped in the water much easier to find. This tape is identical, highly visible with a sticky backing that is completely waterproof. It is very versatile - good for trailers, bike racks, driveway markers, mailboxes, etc.

These work well for landmarks out in the country. Theres no light pollution out here so its very hard to see certain landmarks or even your driveway. Just remember to put them at headlight height. If theyre higher or lower, theyre not very visible. If ya remember to do that, they work great! The adhesive is not as strong as I would have expected an item like this to have but so far they are staying up. Price is fair on these as long as they continue to stay up. (I will update this review IF they dont)

Nicely reflective. Adhere well if you clean th surface you are putting it on.

I am hoping these will stop our mailbox from being hit and I applied to the front of the gate as well. The tape itself is strong and the adhesion is great so far. I placed on weathered mailbox post and painted front gate with ease and the spatula tool helped even out the round posts. The reflectivity is great and should help with visibility and Im hopeful the mailbox is now safe. I would recommend.

Needed to add some reflective stripes to the mailbox post and there worked great. I put some on the boat trailer and on the hitch hauler too.

Several strips come in package with a smoothing tool to get air pockets out. I did have to trim each one about 1/8th in along one side to fit on trailer angle iron. Adhesive seems strong.

I dont have a truck and I put safety reflectors on the back of my bike on the toddler trailer so my rides are even safer!

This conspicuity tape is as good as any other tape I’ve used. It has very good adhesion and the reflectivity is fantastic. I don’t know the letter of the law, but this tape does not identify that it is DOT-C2 approved. The listing says that it complies but the tape itself does not indicate it. This may not be an issue but wanted to call it out. I will use this tape to mark my 18’ car hauler which is rated to 7,000 lbs. Due to the weight capacity, this tape is not required, but why wouldn’t you want it? It’s cheaper for the trailer maker to cheap out and not apply it, but for this low cost, the extra risk reduction is worth it. If you are applying this to a trailer, the white block goes toward the front, red, toward the back. Begin and end at the ends of the trailer. If you have a dry van, the upper corners on the back should only be outlined with the white, no red there. Some of the pictures in the listing are wrong. If your vehicle requires this tape, at least 50% of the side length needs to have the tape. These precut lengths make it easy. Just put one on, skip a foot, then apply another. I like that this came with the plastic tool to press the decal down well. It should go without saying, but make sure the surface is clean before applying. Wipe with alcohol if needed to remove road roils and grease.

These large reflectors have a good adhesive backing. One half is red one half silver, and they have alternating stripes in each field. At night the reflection is quite clear, and they draw attention to whatever vehicle is illuminating them. I havent tried it but given the material its quite likely you could cut it down to different sizes if that was your need. They come with a burnishing tool to make sure the application is bubble free. You can use them individually as I did or as a continual stripe along a longer surface.

Sized as advertised. Nice reflective material. (Looks on par with 3m and other name brands material and quality). Feel substantial. Nice application spreader to help no bubbles install.
