Oh come on! Just accept your inner geek. Trying to hide the TIR reflective antlers is just like trying to hide baldness with a comb-over: it doesn't work and just tells everyone you have a complex about it. Embrace the simmer in you and wear the reflectors with pride! PS. on a more serious note, Natural Point used to make a ballcap which had the reflector built-in, but if I recall it's just the one reflector on the tip of the cap so it may have been discontinued.

At least you no longer have to put a reflective dot on your forehead like the older TIRs IIRC....

They sell the reflector stickers, you could put them on your headphones. I tried it once on some glasses and it worked, but didn't have very much tolerance for turning my head. Could remedy that with a good profile. The glasses are some sports/riding/sunglasses with changeable lenses with a clear option, so they have thicker frames.

You could get 3 of those small black file clips, put them on the brim with the stickers. It would at least be a little less obvious. Not sure if the lack of depth on the middle one would hurt too bad, but I think it works ok if you can set the sensitivity high enough without interference behind you.

Face it fellows, the mere act of flying a pretend plane on ones computer, and using a HOTAS to do it, makes us look like idiots to the rest of the world. A fact that I am perfectly okay with.

I embedded reflective spheres onto the brim of a visor :), I had a Box of sports visors in the closet.. so... Might give LEDs a shot, as I think the sun interferes with the reflective components sometimes. imply put, take a visor (you know a visor): Run 2 LEDs to each front side edge of the brim, then run 1 to the top of the front of the visor.

Way to go, Skate, you went from looking silly just because you had the TIR reflectors on it to looking silly even WITHOUT the TIR reflectors on it! FACT: You can not wear a visor and not look absurd. The Jedi Master
