Reflective tape recommendation

[Custom24]

Hi
I've replaced my backpack with a Deuter ventilated one, which is giving me much less sweaty back.
Problem is the Hump backpack cover I was using seems now to block the ventilation slightly.
I was therefore looking for some yellow hi viz and relective tape to put on the Deuter.

There's lots out there, but I'm not convinced that it would stick on that well, or that if it does, after a couple of months it would end up a sticky mess like gaffer tape does

Does anyone have any specific stuff they've used and could recommend?

Thanks
Mark

"Solas tape" stick like poo, but make sure it is "solas" as there is a lot of copys out there

Thanks. It's not hi viz for daytime use, but apart from that it looks really good.

I have used lightweights 3m scotchlite reflective tape. Black during the day white at night.

Not quite tape, but a 'sheet' that you cut to size and (cool) iron on or just stick on (we went with the cool iron and so far it has been on for 12 months without issue). We used it for the external pockets on our ortlieb panniers, because the external pockets covered over the reflective patches a driver would see and the pockets themselves did not have any in their place. It works very well. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/respro-h...onid=1144c7c0e407d2969eabbcff8aa47e54e5804b66

I've actually ordered the Solas tape, so I'll see how that goes.

Probably a bit late now, but:

The Diamond grade is (IIRC) the most reflective - AFAIK the black stuff isn't diamond grade and reflects less light, but at least is fairly innocuous if you've got a large black area to put it over.
