On the flip side if it's a 'bad thing' then please explain why as well. Is 'ninja black' just more fashionable? :-D More seriously there are threads about not wearing 'shiny' jewellery, and I imagine that reflective tape might fall under that category, no?
Interested in hearing opinions about one of the OP's other points. IIRC, most threads about shiny (metallic) jewelery (or dive gear) are concerned about barracuda 'attacks'. Based on that, I'd infer that bright synthetic colors might not be an extra attraction with non-shark hunting carnivores above just being more visible than dull ones if conditions are murky. Opinions anyone? Would retroreflective-type visibility tape or strips also be sufficiently different from normal prey that hunters wouldn't specifically seek it out as familiar food?
