We love wearable technology in the TWC office and we were pretty excited when this futuristic, superhero looking gadget arrived on our desks. The Commuter X4, is a unique and smart light which goes over your backpack or commuter clothing, featuring a large prominent round light at the back.

This powerful light is in the centre of four fibre optic (and reflective when the light isn’t in use) straps which light up, giving you maximum visibility on the roads from behind and, from the sides.

Fashionable Reflective Leggings for on the Bike

The kickstarter funded Commuter X4 gives cyclists extra confidence, knowing that they’re doing everything they can to be seen on the road. It was even designed after the inventor of the light himself was knocked off his bike while cycling in central London.

The light itself is water resistant and rechargeable, and is all in all a pretty simple but practical gadget designed for city commuters to be used in conjunction with their primary bike lights.

Price: £44.99, available from Veglo.
