Aqua Reflective Collars - Ritega
Reflective dog collars from the Aqua range have PVC/TPU-coated webbing with a reflective strip that bounces back light from a headlamp or car headlights, making your dog more visible at dusk and in the dark. The webbing does not absorb moisture and is easy to clean. We handmake the collars in the Czech Ritega workshop in four fastening versions.

How reflective collars work and how they differ from LED collars
The reflective strip sends incoming light back to its source – for example to a driver with headlights on or to you with a headlamp. It does not glow on its own. It is ideal for walks at dusk, in winter and for dogs that move around off-road.
| Feature | Reflective collar | LED collar |
|---|---|---|
| Light source | reflects external light | glows on its own |
| Power | none, no battery needed | battery or charging |
| In complete darkness without a light source | needs incoming light | visible even without ambient light |
On unlit field or forest paths, you can add a small LED clip-on light to the reflective collar.
Why Aqua reflective collars
The 25 mm webbing is PVC/TPU-coated, does not absorb moisture, does not hold odours and is easy to clean. After a walk through mud or water, just rinse it off. We handmake the collars in the Czech Ritega workshop.
Keep in mind that the reflective strip is less abrasion-resistant than the webbing itself.
How to choose a reflective collar
All four collars share the same webbing and reflective strip; they differ in fastening and hardware:
| Fastening | What you need to know |
|---|---|
| Plastic side-release buckle | black plastic side-release buckle with a safety lock |
| Metal side-release buckle | metal hardware in six colours: black, silver, brass, graphite, rose gold or rainbow |
| With buckle | metal pin buckle in six colours for a precise fit around the neck |
| Slip collar | no fixed stop, designed for brief corrections during training, not for constant pulling |
Choose the size according to your dog's neck circumference – you will find the exact ranges with each collar. Don't need a reflective strip? Take a look at our waterproof collars or slip collars.
Tip from Ritega
The reflective strip only lights up when light falls on it. So take a headlamp with you on evening walks and you will see how brightly the strip shines.

Reflective collar FAQ
How do reflective collars work?
The reflective strip sends incoming light back to its source, for example to a driver or a headlamp. It does not glow on its own.
Is a reflective collar the same as a light-up LED collar?
No. The reflective strip only reflects light, while an LED collar is battery-powered and glows. Our collars are reflective, not LED.
What are Aqua reflective collars made of?
25 mm PVC/TPU-coated webbing with a reflective strip. The webbing does not absorb moisture, does not hold odours and is easy to clean.
Is a reflective collar suitable for rain and mud?
Yes, the webbing does not absorb moisture and you just rinse it after a walk. The reflective strip is, however, less abrasion-resistant than the webbing itself.
Which fastening should I choose?
It depends on how you use it. Side-release buckles and pin buckles are suitable for everyday wear; the slip collar is designed for brief corrections during training, not for constant pulling.
How do I choose the right size?
By your dog's neck circumference. The collar should fit so that you can slide two fingers underneath. You will find the ranges with each collar, and if you are not sure, just get in touch.
Is the reflective strip durable?
The reflective strip is less abrasion-resistant than the webbing itself, so check the collar regularly.
