Warning clothing is mostly obtained by fitting standard clothing with systems of fluorescent stripes. Unfortunately, such systems are practically not used as they are not correlated with fashion trends. The aim is to develop a new generation of warning clothes for general use. The newest generation of textile reflective materials used for protective clothing includes reflective material based on glass micro-balls and acrylic micro-prisms. The estimation of the visibility of textile reflective (fluorescent) materials allows us to state that fluorescent materials manufactured on the basis of glass micro-balls have the best visibility. With the increase in the width of the tape, the visiblity also increases. The worst visibility was observed for a conventional fluorescent material which was weakly visible, and only at a distance of 50 m.
