Agreed.

My headlight has little notches so that a bit of light can be seen from the sides. I thought it was a nice innovation -- my old light (also a Bontrager) didn't have that. I think many manufacturers have been making tail lights with side-visibility for some time now.

One reason I like the ankle bands is side visibility. The reason I want to get the wrist bands is so that my arms can be seen better when I signal turns. And really you can't go wrong with more reflective stuff at night.
