They do the job!
Got some for all the cars. Price is right, they are big enough to be seen and take up little space.
C**.
Flimsy but has some weight to it.
I like that these are made of some kind of thin metal, not plastic, and so they don't feel like they're going to blow away or fall over in the wind, which I was concerned about. That said, they are cheaply made; I bent some of the metal just taking it out of the box. The snap buttons aren't great either, they seem likely a fail point. But I don't intend to use these much at all, and so for the price, these are exactly what I was looking for. Get something else if you need something to use regularly.

Basic Safety Gear with Room for Improvement
I recently ordered the DSV Emergency Reflective Triangles, intrigued by their promise of enhancing roadside safety. The set includes three triangles, each housed in its own case, which I found somewhat peculiar. This design choice, however, does offer the flexibility of distributing them across multiple vehicles, which can be a plus for families with more than one car.The triangles themselves are extremely lightweight. While this makes them easy to handle, it also raises concerns about their stability in windy conditions. I have doubts about their ability to withstand the gusts generated by passing trucks without toppling over. This is a significant consideration, especially on busy highways or in adverse weather conditions.Reflectivity is a critical aspect of these triangles, and in this regard, they perform adequately. They do reflect light, though I must admit I have seen better reflectivity in other products. The major drawback, however, is that they are only reflective on one side. This limitation restricts their effectiveness, particularly on unlit rural roads where visibility from both directions is crucial.In terms of value, these triangles fall a bit short compared to other options I've tried. They fulfill the basic requirement of a roadside emergency reflector but lack the robustness and superior reflectivity that I've seen in other models. They are absolutely better than nothing, but for those seeking more reliable and durable options, there might be better choices out there.Overall, I rate these DSV Emergency Reflective Triangles three stars. They are a decent, basic choice for occasional use, but for frequent drivers or those in areas with extreme weather conditions, investing in a more sturdy and highly reflective set might be a wiser decision.

Light-Weight and Compact With Easy Setup
These DSV Standard Reflective Emergency Warning Triangles are great to have on hand in every vehicle, just in case you or someone you are helping has found themselves unexpectedly stuck on the side of the road, either tackling a DIY repair, or waiting for a tow truck. Even when you have a road hazard policy, you'll still be there for a while and sometimes many hours, before the tow truck finally arrives, so making sure you are as visible as possible to passing traffic is definitely important for your safety. In fact, if you find yourself just over a hill or around a bend, these reflective triangles can become even more critical for being able to place them further back where they will alert drivers even before your vehicle becomes visible to them.I've provided multiple pics showing what comes in the kit and also a hack that I decided to do to keep them in a single bundle by taping the cases together. Note that I used double-sided tape in-between each case before wrapping the three with clear boxing tape for the purpose of keeping some space between the caps, allowing them to be removable. (Without that space they are too tight against each other.) Something as simple as cardboard would provide the same function as the double-sided tape, since it is really the outer wrap that will keep the cases together for the long term.

Just fine for occasional use, plus easy way to improve them!
I selected these triangles to keep in our less reliable daily driver. Well it hasn't left us stranded yet, winter is coming and flat tires can occur any time of year. Better safe than sorry as they say.They arrived quickly and were packaged individually and then wrapped together with cellophane and placed in a box. The three plastic carrying cases opened up easily, and I was pleasantly surprised when all three triangles unfolded quite easily and I was able to set them up in about 90 seconds.I waited until dark and then went outside to test their reflectivity. Once again I was pleasantly surprised at how well they picked up light (see images). While I'm not sure these would stay up in high wind, they seemed plenty sturdy in light breeze. Due to the low cost, it's hard to expect a super sturdy triangle set.I found an easy way to resolve one of the downsides of these triangles. There is no reflective material on the back sides of these as some other reviewers pointed out. While oncoming traffic shouldn’t be an issue on well lit and wide streets, many of the roads we travel on in the rural areas are unlit and narrow – I really want us to be seen from both directions (especially if the battery fails). I was able to address the problem quickly and easily by cutting some strips from reflective tape that I already had on hand. You can purchase it from Amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD3Y74ZH. Once I had the new reflective tape set up on the back sides of the triangles I took additional pictures. While the color is green instead of red, the green triangles will be facing toward oncoming traffic and plenty bright to alert drivers to be watchful ahead. Granted, the triangles with be behind the the vehicle for oncoming traffic, but should still be bright enough to be seen from quite a distance. Also, adding the tape didn't impede the ability to fold up the triangles and they still fit in their original cases without any difficulty.These triangles should be used rarely if ever and serve their purpose just fine. If it ever gets to the point that I need to use them regularly, I'll probably invest in a more reliable vehicle rather than a more reliable set of roadside warning triangles.All in all, I can easily recommend these based on my limited experience.
