◆ Photo review
"Zackees Turn Signal Gloves"I was recruiting funds at KickstarterSo I made a contribution and got the real thing.


If you open the box you received with Pakari ... ...


Inside was Zackees Turn Signal Gloves, a white box, and paper with a thank you note.


There is a battery charger for Zackees Turn Signal Gloves in the white box.


This is Zackees Turn Signal Gloves. Size is S · M · L but I got L size.


This is the back of the hand of the glove.


Silver parts are attached to the root of the thumb and index finger ... ...


When this is brought into contact, the blinker on the back of the hand flashes.


A blinker in the back of the hand looks something like this.


When lighting up like this, it glows shimmer and it looks pretty dazzling when looking close.


The blue part of the back of the hand has become a mesh material, breathability is also good. This mesh part was blue one this time, but there are other coloring things.


The palm side is like this, the cushion is contained in the black part, the gray part is made of Suede.


Since the band of the velcro turning Velcro is attached to the wrist part, it is possible to fix firmly so that the glove does not slip out even if the size of the glove does not fit somewhat.


Looking at the inside of the glove, I found a part sewn with red thread.


Here the button batteries that are turned on or turned on are housed. Since the button battery is rechargeable, take it from here when the battery runs out and charge it with a charger OK.


Actually getting it in hand like this.


I put on a size of L size, but it is about 19 cmHand lengthBut it feels like a perfect fit. However, because the glove is preeminent in elasticity, you can wear it even with a hand length of 19 cm or more.


Then, if you grab hands graciously, blinking blinkers on the back of the hand flickers. By using this we will be able to show "I want to turn in any direction" or "I am here" in the surroundings.


When wearing "Zackees Turn Signal Gloves" and turning on the turn signal turn indicator, it is such a feeling that both wearing and using are easy to transcend is one point

◆ I actually used it
I figured out what gloves Zackees Turn Signal Gloves knew and decided to actually wear it and ride a bicycle.

A woman with a hand length of 15.5 cm wears an L size Zackees Turn Signal Gloves in both hands. I am wearing a size of L size, so it feels like it will be fun if it's a thin person.


Although it turned out strangely strangely only at hand, I will immediately turn on the bicycle and turn on the blinker.


When crossing a bicycle it is like this.


Semi-up handleThen, when grasping the handle, the back of the hand faces the side rather than the direction of the bicycle's traveling direction, so it is a bit difficult to show the blinker to the pedestrian or car coming from the direction of travel.


However, if you turn the blinker with your hand raised like this, you can show the blinker behind.


Since the glove's blinker lights up like a car blinker as it is blinking, even if the opponent does not know about Zackees Turn Signal Gloves, it seems that it will stop staring in the eye that "something is shining!"


Then I had Zackees Turn Signal Gloves wearing on a road bike ride of Bari Bali.


You can show the blinker in the direction of travel with this feeling when gripping the upper part of the handle.


When turning right it is like this. If you indicate the direction of movement with a blinker, you will be unaware of it unexpectedly. Since you can display your intention on a bicycle or the like that comes closer from the back, "If you turn right the previous bicycle, let's stop passing for a while, bicycle It is also likely to reduce contact accidents between each other.


It looks like this when using it when driving on the road. Zackees Turn Signal Gloves 'blinkers' visibility is outstanding, blinking lights blink well in the bright daytime, and blinking lights blinking with the back of the hand are so suspicious that the car is wary of the bicycle side more than usual It was.


When turning left, it looks something like this, you can see the blinker well from the pedestrian side.


I understand that the image of "Does this bike enter the sidewalk?" Appears, so it is appreciated if the blinker lights up even when looking at the pedestrian's eyes.


I also tried using Zackees Turn Signal Gloves when I got out of the sidewalk on the roadway. I could not keep up with the photos, but as I was timing the timing to go out on the roadway while turning on the blinker, the shuttle bus at the kindergarten stopped and gave me the way.


It looks like this when using it at night.


Although it was demonstrating too much visibility even in the daytime, the affinity with the bicycle which becomes more conspicuous when you try it at night and makes it easy to overlook somewhat overnight is outstanding.


It is like this when actually using Zackees Turn Signal Gloves at night.

'Zackees Turn Signal Gloves' also features nighttime visibility - YouTube


Also, when I asked for impression of wearing Zackees Turn Signal Gloves on a road bike ride, I found bracket part ......


When griping the drop part it was that the metal parts that will turn on the blinker will get in the way.


Furthermore, when gripping the steering wheel so that the blinker can be seen in the direction of travel there is no sense of stability and it is "very scary". I got a handle grip with a sense of stability and it looks like the following, it was feeling that the turn signal was not visible in the direction of travel.


The Zackees Turn Signal Gloves blinker is much smaller than the one on the car, so the scene that the bicycle rider is issuing a blinker is too special, so when you look at it from the end it is "???" I will. However, if you use a blinker, the presence of a bicycle ride improves day and night, especially when driving at night, it shows an outstanding presence. As impressions I tried in various situations, even when looking at pedestrians and car driver's eyes as well as bicyclists, if there is a turn indicator, "What kind of behavior does the bicycle take next?" Is predicted It is easy and leads to taking actions according to the situation. In other words, in order to protect yourself and increase the safety of the surroundings, it is a glove that seems to demonstrate a simple and outstanding effect at a level that feels "You should wear a bicycle for all bicycles?" It was getting.
