What role does the "luminescent thread" embroidery in the description play?
I saw in the pants description that the embroidered part was changed to luminescent thread so that it glows at night. I was wondering what practical purpose this detail serves, since it looks like white embroidery during the day but glows at night.
It looks like ordinary white embroidery during the day, but in the dark, it glows on its own to reveal the wearer's position during nighttime activities.
It is white during the day and glows at night[1]. ONO WHEEL's Reflector Nylon Pants ver.2 and Reflector Nylon Half Pants ver.2 applied white luminescent thread to the embroidered parts[2][3]. Luminescent thread is a functional yarn that absorbs and stores sunlight or lighting and then emits it on its own in the dark when light is blocked.
Its daytime appearance is plain. In bright daylight, it appears as understated white embroidery placed on the fabric, making it natural to wear as everyday clothing[4]. When darkness falls, it emits the stored light, serving to reveal the wearer's position to surroundings during night walks or riding. hmmm, it is a detail that quietly ensures visibility during dark hours even without conspicuously prominent reflectors.
The specific duration for which luminescence is maintained in the dark after absorbing light has not yet been confirmed in official materials.
