Adding reflective material to my gloves

I'm acutely aware at this time of year that my gloves don't have relective
strips on them for when I'm indicating. Any suggestions?

You can buy reflective bands to wear round the wrist.

Buy some gloves with reflective strips on them?

Sew-on Scotchlite tape (eBay) -- though it'll be more practical on your
sleeves if gloves are stretchy.

I've just bought some stick on Scotchlite from Wiggle, designed for
sticking to clothes:

I haven't used it yet (I'm planning to decorate a couple of hats with it
this evening), so I can't report on how well the adhesive stands up to
washing. It feels more flexible than the Scotchlite tape I bought a few
years ago, which has stood up pretty well to repeated washing.

For indicating, though, I'd go with Helen's suggestion of reflective
armbands. Better still, reversible armbands, reflective for night-time
and fluorescent yellow for daytime. I use these:

You can even get ones that are reflective fluorescent yellow :-)

Aldi did some very nice reflective velcro bands with flashing LEDs a
couple of weeks ago - there might just be some left in the remnants
bin. Very good quality - the best I've come across yet, including in
my LBS, and cheaper as well - they even have a bit of elastic in them
so they fit snugly yet firmly around my waterproof overtrousers to
stop them catching in the chain.

There are plenty going on eBay for a few pounds. e.g.

I bought some reflective cloth and adhesive (for bikes etc) stuff from
Tchibo a couple of years ago, and some iron-on reflectives from
Mothercare ages (?20 years) ago.

I still have a little cloth spare, which I could pop into the post if
you send me an sae. (Email me first). The cloth is fiddly to sew, but
seems to wash OK.

The iron-on stuff peeled off quite fast.

Wear a BMW jersey. Then no one will expect you to indicate anyway.
