Don’t know if anyones seen these – FLIP FLIP[/url] – but if its that easy to get money out of hipsters I’m in the wrong job.

I think its a very good simple yet effective idea, but come on , £17 ???

Piece of card, or plastic or anything that you can fold some reflective tape and you’re away.

There’s always a price to pay for being hip, and now you know what that price is…

lol….

You can buy a front and a rear red light from Tesco for a fiver.

Or pay £17 for a bit of relective card that sits where your pocket does.

Am I allowed to say ****bers?

If the ‘high-visibility ankle strap look’, isn’t the look for you……

Then you’ll love the fluro arse look, complete with ludicrous RRP

I doubt you’ll ever see those sticking out of anyone’s pocket in Dalston, unless they’re lost and riding a hybrid.

Somebody else thought of it, not you.

Though in a capitalist world you could always sell your own for £15 to undercut them. Hang on – I’m looking at the target market in the wrong way aren’t I? Sell your own for £20 as yours is clearly superior.

Can you get different colours, dependent whether you’re a top/bottom/spanker/spankee etc?

From the website:

“Manufactured in the UK, a sheet of Reflexite Hi-Viz Retro Reflective Material is securely riveted to a sheet of soft black neoprene”

Hahaha…oh in that case…please…rob me in broad daylight! 🙄

Good idea. But I agree the price is OTT and with marketing like that I’d never buy any.

Dare I suggest you’re not the target market.

It’s called homophobia CFH. He could explain I am not sure we’ll understand.

What? Its homophobic to point out the product looks superficially similar at a distance to a brightly coloured handkerchief hanging out of your pocket, as per the Handkerchief code?

Is if wrong to say anyone buying this has been financially bummed?
