The Bottom Line
- Reflects light from just about any angle - very brightly.
- 3D design means you can use fewer markers, yet get better results.
- Easily reusable.
- Using the brighter colors, your trail is visible in the daylight (but Stealth color is available).
- Bulkier than "old-fashioned" reflective tacks.

Guide Review - FireTacks Trail Markers
Since FireTacks reflect light at almost any angle, you don't have to worry about getting them perfectly square with your path, or putting them at eye level. Just stick 'em in and go! You can also get away with placing your markers farther apart than usual, because FireTacks are so reflective.
You may not want your trail to be visible in the daylight, and if that's the case then try the Stealth color - it's a medium-brown color but it reflects very nicely after dark. Or, use the bright colors so you can see your markers day or night. The FireTacks people tell you to keep your light at eye level for best results. I used a Princeton Tec headlight and had no problem whatsoever seeing the tacks, even at 20 to 30 yards.
These are the best reflective trail markers I have seen or used.
