I love these things!!
I have yet to find anything that even comes close to sticking to clothing as well as these do! They are supper reflective and stick really well. I have placed them on my dog's harnesses, my jacket, my shoes, the dog leashes, my gloves, my backpack, my cellphone case, the dog booties, and nearly everything I own. I may have gotten carried away, but I am super visible at night! Haven't been hit my a car since I went sticker crazy! (I wasn't before, but that isn't the point)

Exactly what I was looking for to provide some low light visibility for clothing.
LOL, I don't know why but, I was expecting an 8.5 X 11 inch sheet with these reflective decals attached. I was surprised to find the plastic sheet is only about 3.5 X 4 inches. But after looking at them firsthand and putting some on articles of clothing, I realize that these are sized correctly.So far, I have attached these to a knit beanie with a really tight weave, an Outback style rain hat, the hood of my ultralight rain jacket, and the collar of my rain jacket that holds the hood when it's not in use. I use that stuff primarily for backpacking and I wanted to add "Ranger Eyes" in back for visibility on trails in low light conditions or night time. The term "Ranger Eyes" is something I picked up from my time in the military. We'd sew reflective fabric patches maybe 1" long and 3/8ths wide on the back of our BDU caps. Think of a set of Captain's bars or two lieutenant bars spaced a half inch apart on the back of a cap. If you have 30 guys walking single file in low light conditions on uneven, unfamiliar terrain, it's nice to know that's a friendly up ahead of you. It's also a big plus if you don't run into or trip over each other. Anyway, I got used to having these little markers.So, how well do these work?Reflectivity - Very bright. Amazingly so actually. The side that goes against the fabric is a dark grey. The side with the reflective material is much lighter in color, a pale silver, almost white. They don't look like they'd be super reflective but they are. I turned the lights off and pointed my headlamp at them. They are as bright as any reflective material I've ever seen. A+ on reflectivity!Application - Pretty easy. But I wouldn't try to just stick these on and forget them. The adhesive is really a heat set product. When I used an iron to heat set the reflectors on the clothing, you could see where the material actually melted right into the thread pattern of the underlying fabric. There is essentially no thickness at that point. The decal becomes part of the fabric. It took me all of ten minutes to do everything I mentioned, 2 hats, a jacket hood, and the jacket collar. You can re-position them right up until you heat the adhesive. After that, they ain't going anywhere.When ironing these on you'll want to get enough heat to get the adhesive to flow but you don't want to torch delicate synthetic fabrics or the decal itself. My solution? Back to my Army experience again. I used a "pressing cloth". In my case a thin cotton bandanna placed over the decal. The iron only touched the cotton bandanna. That allowed me to turn the iron up to a "polyester" setting rather than the lower setting recommended in the instructions. Just stick the reflectors where you want them, cover with the pressing cloth, and then iron for 10-20 seconds. Keep the iron moving.Size - Perfect. As I mentioned at the outset, these are really well sized for clothing. Any larger and they'd either look ridiculous or you'd have a hard time finding a place for them. I used the small ovals oriented vertically for my Ranger Eyes. The large circles would also work. I could see the large ovals being placed horizontally on the back of a jacket or the sleeves at outside of the cuff.Uses - Fabric. The instructions say these will work on hard, non-porous surfaces like a bicycle frame or motorcycle helmet. They may work OK in that role with simple pressure used to attach them but in my mind these are purpose built for attachment to fabric. The stuff I put on my motorcycle helmet would be too thick and not flexible enough for fabric. At the same time, these reflectors are not sticky enough without heat setting and a porous surface to "melt" into.They are a little bit pricey but they are the right product for the job when it comes to making clothing more visible in low light situations.

Works great!!!
Got these to attach to my children’s backpacks and shoes since the walk to the bus stop in the AM is in the dark. It was super easy to apply and they stick well, like they’ve always been there. I appreciate the different shapes and sizes. Totally worth it!EDIT:Over a year later I’m still super pleased with these! In fact, I was just thinking again this morning about how glad I am we have these that I simply had to update my review to praise them again. They stick super well to backpacks and shoes even without an iron and they don’t flake off, even though my kids are super rough on their shoes. We’ve applied them to their backpacks for two school years and to two or three sets of worn out shoes per kid now without issue.Once one of my kids forgot something so I hopped in my car to catch up to them before they got to the bus stop (a ten minute walk from our house). It was shocking how easily/how well I could see the reflectors on my kids from even a block away despite the rest of them still being invisible in the dark. The stickers may be small in size but they work incredibly well, even with just the one medium reflector on each heel and two medium reflectors on each backpack’s face (I also put the little dots on the front of their shoes and the long ovals on their backpack straps, but I was driving up from behind them so could only see the three on each kid—but only three was still plenty/highly visible). I have so much more peace of mind about letting them walk in the dark now that I know these make them so perceptible! I highly, highly recommend these and will be buying more for our family!

How this helps
They were ok, I applied them to my grandsons black parka but the jacket is quilted so it worked but they are so small. I probably won't order again only because the decal are so tiny. But they did stick so that was good.

Good so far.
I just got these reflectors to add some visibility to my messenger bag. I carry my messenger bag with the front flap next to my body, which means the back of the bag is the only part that's showing, and the back of the bag is solid black. That's not so good for helping cars and buses avoid me when I'm crossing the street. So I ordered a set of the Lightweights and stuck 20 of them on the shoulder strap, back and front sides of my bag. It was easy to stick them on the bag, but make sure you peel the white paper off the front of each reflector. They seem really reflective, but they were a little smaller than I expected. I added a photo in case it helps with your decision making. I will update my review if I run into any problems.

Reflects well biut will not stay on long.
They went on nice and stayed on for a while but they could not survive multiple washes. The good thing about them is that there are a few of them in each package so putting on another round is a possibility.

Reflects perfectly, applies easily
Love the ease of use of these reflectors! I must admit they were a little smaller than I envisioned, but I genuinely enjoyed the use of them. Reflect nice and bright as well.
