These are very basic, almost throw-away emergency warning triangles. I guess that's why you get 3 for the price of 1. No comparison to the ones I used to have years ago. These come in a flimsy case that's hard to open; they're very light, so I don't know if they'll stay in place by the side of the road especially if there's a bit of wind or vehicles going by. They come with a nylon orange triangle inside as well as the reflective red one outside. They're kind of small and the attachment rivets are of dubious quality. Hopefully I won't have to use them but if I do end up using them, they'll be a welcome, although with some reservations, addition to our emergency road kit.

As our cars gets older there is more chance we could be stuck on the side of the road somewhere. If at night time on a dark road drivers will not be able to see you. Having a flare or one of these reflector triangles farther behind your car can alert drivers of your presence and give them time to react from possibly hitting you. Some European cars come with one of these triangles in the trunk, and it's too bad not more manufacturers include them. Anyways, I saw the weyleity Emergency Warning Triangles so I ordered them for our cars.The weyleity Emergency Warning Triangles came as a three pack, which is great for our 2 cars. We can keep one in each car and have a spare. I'm thinking we may need the spare since the triangle is not the most sturdy build quality. More on that later. Each triangle is housed in a blow molded plastic case. The case is terrible as its made of the thinnest plastic. The cover is also difficult to get off and a couple of the ones we got are hard to get back on. You can already see white stress marks in the plastic in some places, especially the cover, that you have to squeeze here and there to get off or back on. However, they do the job of holding the triangle in its folded state so I would rather have the cheap case than nothing.As for the triangles themselves, they fold down to a rectangle shape. There are two arms that pivot open to form the triangle. At the tip of the triangle one of the arms has a hook that will hook around a metal rivet tab on the other arm. When the triangle is deployed, the orange plastic ribbon will also stretch taught just inside of the arms. The orange plastic is not the best also as it's stretched poorly at some of the connection points. You can see in my attached pictures where it doesn't stretch out smooth and straight. I also worry that with constant folding and unfolding the plastic ribbon will start to tear at the rivet points. Hopefully I won't have to use these much to stress that point. Now, for the triangle to stand there are 4 thin legs that unfold out from the base arm, outward at each corner. These arms also lift the triangle a little off the ground. The arms are not the most secure and you have to fiddle with them to get them all to extend their farthest out. I can't say the triangle is the most stable on these legs, as the triangle has some bounce, but the legs do extend wide so it does keep the triangle standing. Once deployed for its size, with the reflectors, it should be very visible to other drivers.It was a bit hard to come to a rating for the weyleity Emergency Warning Triangles. On one hand the case was very cheap and aggravating, the orange ribbon is very cheap and aggravating, and the legs are pretty flimsy. Yet the case works, the ribbon works, the stand works, and overall everything just works. If I was stuck at the side of the highway or a dark road I would be so glad to have these triangles with me to, hopefully, avoid getting hit. It's like insurance, you don't like that you pay for it, but you sure are glad you have it when an accident occurs. That's like these triangles, I can overlook the cheap things because they do what they say they do, and that is provide an emergency warning on the road. I would give it 3.5 stars but rounded it to 4 to give the benefit of the doubt that some of the cheap items I mentioned earlier will not break on me. Everyone should have at least one of these in their car.
