Stay seen when you pull over with warning triangles that are large, sturdy, and highly reflective. Weighted bases help keep them from being blown over in wind and traffic, and options include folding designs that store in a plastic case to save space in your truck, RV, or trailer. A smart add to your roadside kit for breakdowns or tire changes.
Yes, LED-equipped Warning Triangles are made for outdoor emergency use and designed to withstand the elements for the emergency period of time. If you expect rain or snow, make sure the battery compartment closes securely. Check for a tight seal so water doesn't get in during use.
Warning Triangles with weighted bases and large stands help resist being blown over. Look for pre-weighted designs that stand up straight, even in the wind. A broad, heavy base can reduce movement from passing traffic. If stability is a concern, check that the base is heavy enough and the stand footprint is large.
Highly reflective, large, sturdy Warning Triangles improve visibility. Look for triangles described as highly reflective and visible to help drivers see you sooner. Set them up so they stand straight and face oncoming traffic. If visibility seems lacking, check that the reflective surfaces are clean and undamaged.
Many Warning Triangles fold into a compact plastic case, and some sets include three units in one case. They can be fairly heavy, around 20 or 25 lbs for a set, so plan where you'll stow them. If weight is a concern, note that flares are about 1 lb but can be intimidating to light and could be responsible for road damage.
