I had only seen plain black and the bronze-sidewall variants, but came across a 26 x 2.00 with reflective stripes at Schwalbe USA’s site, so I picked up four to use this summer for general commuting/road/gravel stuff. They averaged 482 grams, which is quite light.

Do they offer commuter levels of puncture protection though? I also have one leg in the gravel, xbiking and retro MTB communities and I can’t recall ever hearing things about them one way or another.
