Cycle through the winter with Basil
As the days gradually get longer and winter comes to an end, we will start to ride our bikes more often. Yet, the weather remains unpredictable during this period, and darkness may roll in earlier than expected. It's therefore all the more important to be visible on the road during this period!
But how do you stand out while riding your bicycle without a high-visibility jacket? That's where we come in. The specially selected Basil collection for extra visibility has a number of innovative features that will ensure you get noticed on your bike. Read on to find out what makes these bicycle accessories so striking.

Reflection
At Basil, we understand the importance of being highly visible, regardless of the season. That's why we factor reflection into every design to enhance your safety while cycling. All Basil bags, rainwear, and a range of baskets are reflective on several sides. All our rainwear features ton-sur-ton reflection. No need to compromise on style with our designs; the reflective material only lights up when illuminated.
We also have reflective crate snaps available to increase your crates' visibility. They are very easy to attach and real eye-catchers!
The Basil Miles series is an excellent example of how subtle incorporation of reflection makes your bag extra striking. With this sporty bag series, you can safely go on any adventure, even on the most unpredictable winter days; you will shine without a care in the world while riding your bike!

LED’s be seen
Good lighting on your bicycle is essential. But in addition to your regular bicycle lights, there are other ways to increase your visibility while cycling. A selection of our Basil bicycle bags and baskets are equipped with an integrated LED strip. These bicycle accessories featuring Nordlicht Technology are specially designed for enhanced visibility when cycling at dusk, in the dark, or when caught in a heavy shower or snowstorm. In addition to the bags with integrated LED strips, many of our bags have eyelets to attach LED lights. Now, isn't that clever!

High Visibility
You can't rule out an unexpected rain shower during the late winter days, either. In addition to proper bicycle lights and reflective accessories, high-quality rainwear with reflective details will contribute to your visibility. Let's face it: you ride with much more confidence when you know you will be seen, regardless of the weather or time of day.
When designing the Basil Skane HiVis, our primary focus was visibility. Thanks to the 360 reflection and the neon yellow color, you will ride your bike radiantly, making you stand out day or night. It is almost impossible to not be spotted in this outfit! Check out what else makes this series unique.
