ABSTRACT:
A jacket is provided which comprises (a) a fabric shell, (b) an electroluminescent film strip, (c) a battery and (d) an inverter. The shell comprises (i) a body section and (ii) a pair of sleeves. The body section includes (A) an internal pocket for carrying the battery and inverter, and (B) a retainer comprising a pair of retaining flaps which releasably retain the film strip. The releasable retention of the film by the flaps allows for the appearance of the film as an integral portion of the jacket and further allows for convenient separation of the film from the jacket for washing and drying of the jacket. The film may be easily repositioned under the flaps for retention by the shell. The jacket is useful for enhancing the visibility of the wearer to others at night, such as during night walking or running.
