Product Information

The lightweight (2.8 ounces) vest combines multi-color LED fiber optics with ultra-reflective patterning and fluorescence. This ensures that regardless of the weather and light conditions, you will be visible. For example, clip-on running lights and body reflectors are best for street runs, while headlamps are perfect for hikes. Avoid using the dryer (even when the instructions allow it) to avoid the possibility of the reflectors coming off in the cycle.

Trust me, I’ve tripped on the sidewalk and it could have been prevented if I’d just snagged my running light before heading out the door instead of thinking “ahhh it’ll be fine”. You also have to consider where you’ll wear the product because wearing the running lights on different parts of the body have advantages and disadvantages. Plus there’s a running light for every part of your body. For example, headlamps make you visible to others but they can cause headaches with prolonged wear. On the other hand, clip-on lights and shoe lights are lightweight but have the tendency of flying off during your run.

I like the way the straps are situated on this. It’s going to provide a really snug fit and ensure things aren’t bouncing all over while you’re running! As with reflective panels, it helps to wear lights on parts of your body that move, such as the arms, wrists, or ankles, to draw a driver’s gaze. I also recommend looking for running lights that blink, which can’t help but catch the eye.

Your safety should be your highest priority. Running lights are one easy and key way to take charge of your night running safety. I’ve already mentioned my headlamp article so I’m not going to go too deep into this. However, when choosing a headlamp, you need to pay attention to a couple things, including lumens, comfort and fit, battery life or charging capabilities, and other features like different light settings and colors.

Simply plug it in, wait for it to charge and off you go. Features to look out for

Running lights provide you with light to see your path ahead and they also help other runners and drivers to see you, especially at night when visibility is reduced. For all-weather applications, we recommend looking for an IP rating of 4 or above, but any rating will suffice on a dry evening if you don’t sweat heavily.

No matter where you plan to run, it's important to see where you are going and also for others to see you. This is another one I got 4 or 5 years ago that I really like.
