Running at night can be both exhilarating and challenging. Whist the tranquillity and cooler temperatures make for a refreshing workout, visibility is a crucial concern. That’s where Maxim Sports’ Light Reflective Kinesiology Tape comes into play. Designed with nothing artificial, just small glass balls for reflection, this tape ensures you stay visible and safe during your nocturnal runs. Here’s how to get the best results from using our reflective K-Tape for night running.
Understanding Maxim Sports Light Reflective K-Tape
Maxim Kinesiology Tape is a premium product made from 97% cotton and 3% elastin. The complex structure of the cotton and finer fibres provides a silky feel and makes the tape water-resistant, ensuring it stays effective even in rainy conditions. Our advanced technology uses small glass balls for light reflection rather than artificial chemicals, ensuring a natural and safe reflective quality. The German-made hypoallergenic glue meets EU safety standards, allowing the tape to be worn for up to 7 days without irritating the skin.

Steps to Ensure Best Results
1. Proper Application
To maximise the benefits of our K-Tape, proper application is essential. Follow these steps:
- Clean and Dry Skin: Ensure the area where you will apply the tape is clean and dry. This helps the adhesive to bond better.
- Cut and Apply: Cut the desired amount of tape using Maxim Sports Kinesiology Tape Scissors. Apply to the desired area of your body, making sure to smooth out any wrinkles.
- Activation: Rub the tape to activate the adhesive. This ensures it sticks well and lasts longer.
2. Strategic Placement for Visibility
When running at night, strategic placement of the reflective tape is key:
- Limbs: Apply the tape on your arms and legs to ensure visibility from all angles. The movement of your limbs helps catch and reflect light.
- Torso: Place strips on your chest and back. These areas are larger and more likely to catch light from passing vehicles or streetlights.
- Joints: Wrapping the tape around your knees, elbows, and wrists not only supports these joints but also adds more reflective surfaces.
3. Combining with Other Gear
For optimal safety, combine the reflective K-Tape with other reflective gear:
- Clothing: Wear reflective clothing or accessories such as vests, belts, or hats.
- Footwear: Choose running shoes with reflective elements.
- Lights: Consider using wearable lights or headlamps to increase your visibility further.
