June 19, 2008 - I got myself a new set of safety triangles.
The last set I picked up were unbelievably heavy - and they proved to be remarkably pervasive when I was looking for others. In Europe, there are many options for safety triangles. In the US, there appears to be one model that rules the marketplace. After a lot of hunting, I found a website with exactly what I wanted, and placed an order.
Only to discover that their website wasn't really up. They emailed me to let me know that the store would be open in a few months. Then called me a few hours later saying they could actually ship the stuff in a week, then I got a tracking number about a day later. Talk about lowering expectations!
They showed up today, and they're significantly lighter than the previous ones. The new ones (set up on the left) even have more reflective area than the old ones, and the set of three weighs less than a single one of the old. So that's all good then.
I've been looking for places to stash them in the car. I have some ideas. Right now, one is attached under the dash with Velcro for rapid deployment.
