I have always known that a conspicuous cone placed several feet behind your rv or motor vehicle that is stalled on the road is an added safety precaution but have not been able to justify the room the typical cone takes up…until now. Enter these brightly colored collapsible cones and which take up a quarter of the space and with the weighted base, are able to “hold “ their position. Love them and Husband did too and bought a set for the horse trailer. Great addition to my emergency kit to help me feel better prepared to face that unexpected breakdown until help arrives or the issue is fixed. Very pleased with size, quality and functionality.

This is such a great emergency item to keep in a car! I’m so impressed by how cleverly this has been designed. I’ve never seen anything like it before! It looks like a standard large 28”-high orange reflective traffic cone when standing up, but the entire orange top collapses down into the base so it can be stored in a 13” x 13” square just a few inches high. It takes up so little space in the trunk that there’s really no excuse for anyone not to have one of these in every vehicle – just in case!This traffic cone can be placed behind my vehicle if I’m ever stranded at the side of the road and will let other cars see that there is some kind of emergency and to steer clear of it. There are two reflective strips at the top of the cone that will shine brightly in everyone’s headlights at night so it can’t be missed. It is waterproof and has a weighted base, so it can be used in any kind of weather. Great thing to have.

This cone is available under multiple brand names on Amazon, not all of which are the same price. Comparison-shop as the product is identical.This is a fabric traffic cone that collapses into a rubber base. It takes some effort to expand or collapse, but not undue effort; this is good, it won't collapse under its own weight or from normal use. This makes it much more portable than a 28-inch traffic cone would normally be. Collapsed, it's the size of the black base of a normal cone. That means it's easy to store in a car. For instance, most cars have enough room in the spare-tire compartment for one or two of these cones, making them a good alternative to road flares or warning triangles when you have a break-down.The cones aren't as vivid as a "real" cone, but they're orange enough, and while the reflective material isn't as bright as a real cone or ScotchBright material, it's reasonably reflective. It'll be visible at night in most traffic conditions. A more florescent fabric with better retroreflective material would earn five stars; I'd give these 4.5 stars if I could.I wouldn't recommend these as a replacement for "real" 28-inch traffic cones for commercial road work, or in cases where you expect the cones to take a beating. The fabric and spring material just won't hold up long-term to daily use the way that PVC would. But for occasional use, they're great.Definitely recommended as a safety tool for your car. They're far easier to set up than warning triangles, easier to store, more versatile, and more familiar to other drivers. And unlike consumer-grade road flares, they don't stop working after far too few minutes and pose no fire risk.At $23 before discount, these would be a good value. (This brand was priced higher than identical competitors at the time I wrote this review.)

Folding function is excellent. Weight is as described. The base material is a thick walled PVC and is very impact resistant. Will work perfectly in my application.

I was interested in getting a traffic cone to mark off an icy puddle on our driveway that is too large to completely eliminate with salt. This cone is an ideal size and weight to solve my problem, although I may want to purchase more than one to better mark off the area.This cone does not take up much space when collapsed. When not using this cone on my driveway, I am going to store it in the trunk of my car. It is a perfect addition to my road-side emergency kit.I didn’t have any issues expanding or collapsing the cone. It seems sturdy and well made.A collapsible cone like this would also be a good gift idea, because it’s a good thing for anyone to have in the trunk of their car.(Note that I took the second picture using the flash on my phone).

This 28" road cone from RoadHero is one that actually meets the 28" requirement in the MUTCD while still being collapsible. It has a very rugged base (normally these collapsible cones have a very cheap orange plastic base that breaks whenever the cone is dropped or when it is very cold out) that seems to be made from a similar material to a regular traffic cone and has significant weight to it!I would definitely recommend this cone if you need something collapsible but that still has decent weight to it and is durable!

I ordered this for two reasons: Road Safety and filming sketches. Safety Cones are nice to have if you need to change a flat tire on the road or just need to block a section off for your safety. This safety cone is a decent size compared to regular ones and it has reflective tape on it, making it easier to see at night. The fact that it collapses into a small square is great and easy to keep in your car without taking up too much trunk space (I put it in the spare tire compartment for my corolla). Collapsing it might take a quick second because of how it's layered, you can't push your palm down from the top and expect it to perfectly collapse (I have to use both hands to do it).

I don't have a photo of it in use -- and hope to never use it!! However, its flat design make it perfect to keep in my car for my husband's peace of mind. Particularly since we've been getting multiple days of snow recently. Definitely worth the price.
