Hi, Personally, I found that the retroreflective Scotchlite tape motorcycling shops sell is excellent for visibility; I figure if it's good enough to make my helmet stand out in pitch dark at 65+ mph, that's a reasonable recommendation. I use a Werner carbon-fibre paddle, and will be putting loops of tape on the shaft at regular intervals.
