I've done 2 IM's and have never used the reflective stuff. Though I have carried the light stick, since I'm old and finish afer dark: )

I know that in the 1997 Hawaii Ironman they had volunteers who checked the contents of your bike to run bag to make sure that your run gear had reflective material. I have not seen any other inspections for refelctive material in 8 other races over the distance. It is alway mentioned in the race booklet. I used it in my first 7 races but have not for the last 2. Thankfully I made it in before Sundown in both.

I did IMC in 92 and someone checked. I did IMLP last year and they didn't.
However, it's a good idea to have it anyway. You never know when your 9:30 will turn into a 15:00. :-)

It is required in the rules but if you are sure you will finish before sundown don't bother. I haven't needed it.....yet.
If you're doing a M-dot race you can buy it from InsideOut at the expo.
