Exelite vests can be seen from over 600m with the naked eye and can be seen through fog, rain, dust and smoke. Due to its dynamic, skillful design, the vests are observable from all angles, making users location easily identifiable.

The energy source is an intrinsically safe, rechargeable no memory li-on battery pack. With the option of either 12 or 24 hour life, before recharging becomes necessary. To recharge the battery pack, either plug into mains socket or charge in an in-car charger.
