I very much like Ambuteck. I have a roll of a material from 3M but need what they call end compound to keep the edge from rolling up. The standard reflective is 80 on red 9eh hem) and about (150) on white. Also, remember that it is a white cane law in the driving codes. meaning that the red is useless in reflectivity and the driving code. I like the ambuteck fiberglass, then the aluminum, then the graffite, as that material can break in hard city useages.
