The concern is with losing Coast guard certification by altering the PFD,   not
with reflective tape as such. My UK-made Palm PFD (BA) was made with   reflective
tape on all the pocket flaps. To see how well the tape reflects, see the   photo
of me in my Palm PFD at http://www.isk.canoe-kayak.org/who.html (the   photo was
illuminated partly by the camera flash).
