   This is an excellent little accessory for all sorts of uses. I bought a 5 pack; one will go on each of the 3 guy lines of our caravan awning, just above the tent pegs to stop me tripping over them, again(!), and 1 connected to the keyring hole on each of our torches in the caravan so that we can find them without fumbling in the dark.

   I’ve used other Polymath GITD items including Glo Tags, Tac Tags, Nav Beads, and others, so I know from experience that they are high among the best on the market, but I decided it was only right to check these out before use. I left all 5 on the windowsill in the light after the post arrived at 9a.m. – though on a decidely dull and rainy Scottish day in June – and took them into a darkened room at 10p.m. As befits their main purpose, the Glo Zips are much smaller than my previous items and clearly not intended for the likes of map reading but after a day in the light (I can’t call it ‘sun’!) they were all more than sufficient for finding things to which they were attached or as position markers. After 8 hours in the dark, I checked them next morning and they were understandably a lot less bright but still had enough glow to find a dark object to which they were attached and which you couldn’t otherwise see despite well-developed night vision. In fact, thinking back to times in my military history, it occurred to me that if worn on the back or placed behind them by a soldier who was stood-to before dawn it would make them easier to locate by a colleague approaching from behind, but the Glo Zip would not be be bright enough to give away their position to an enemy sneaking in from the front. If the soldiers then went into a counter attack they would be advancing and it would be light enough for the tag not to be a problem anyway.

   Since I ordered for my intended uses I’ve thought of other places they would be useful too, so I’ll undoubtedly end up buying another pack – I should have thought it through and bought the value pack of 10 in the first place, it’s cheaper than buying 2 packs of five!
