noxgear Tracer2 - Multicolor Illuminated, Reflective Vest for Running or Cycling (Rechargeable, Waterproof)

When I put on my back it was very light.

Shoulder straps are a little large but can be adjusted. I’ve tried many illuminating products for running and this one is my favorite.

I am gushing about, and showing off, the Tracer360 to my riding buddies, friends and co-workers. This product is absolutely amazing. Their customer service is equally amazing. Cycling is my passion and something I greatly enjoy doing. Days are getting shorter and I dont get out of work early enough to finish my rides before nightfall. This product is the final piece to my night safety gear. I went on a group ride with it recently and one of the guys I ride with has already said that he is getting one. Everyone else who has seen it thinks that it is fantastic. Ive had cars slow down as they pass me while Im out riding to get a better look and one car passenger yelled out her window, I LOVE your lights! I am recommending it to every person I know who either cycles or jogs past sundown. This is the best product Ive ever purchased for my cycling safety (and Ive purchased a lot). I have absolutely NO regrets about my purchase (sometimes eyebrows go up when I mention the price, but it is definitely worth every penny). It is exactly what Ive been looking for to enhance my visibility when I ride after sundown. I hope Noxgear is in business a good long time because when this one breaks, if the warranty has expired, Im going to need to purchase another. I would make one suggestion (and I did when I contacted them). I require their product so that I can stay active as the days get shorter, so I dont mind having to buy batteries when it requires, but some people have mentioned that they dont like the idea of the added cost. I recommend that they consider making it rechargeable either via USB or provide an AC charger. (And that was my two cents.) On top of the incredible piece of safety equipment theyve manufactured and the fact that theyve made safety cool, their customer service is truly customer-centric. I originally ordered a Large/Medium, but it turned out to be too large and the light tubes hung too low and too loose. I contacted Noxgear from the Contact the seller button, explained my predicament and requested to exchange my Large/Medium for a Small. The answer was yes, no questions asked. Now THAT is Customer Service. All the best to Noxgear.

This is such a great product. It is lightweight and easy to clip on and adjust. I barely felt it while I run. Helped cars to see at night. You can change the colors, make it blink, change colors, there are so many options.

Ive been riding long night rides for more than 20 years now and Ive lost too many friends to drunk , distracted, and simply careless drivers. High night visibility is very important to me. I have two very bright rear lights and very bright front lights too. But Im not highly visible from the side and even the reflective Sam Brown belt I wear is not great from the side. Thats where this vest is almost unique. I first wore this on a 600k brevet that starts in the dark and finishes in the dark 40 hours later. Theres a lot of night riding on a ride like that. My first impression is that this vest very light. You really dont know its there except that you can see the flashing reflected off your handlebars (not in an annoying way). You are highly visible from 360 degrees and especially from behind because the entire battery pack lights up too. In fact, youre so bright that no one will want to draft off of you. Fortunately its easy to turn on and off while youre riding. As I recall there are 6 different colors and several flash patterns - some of which are very eye-grabbing. One very nice feature is that when you turn it on and off it flashes three times in one of three different colors depending on your battery strength. It takes three AAA batteries that are easy to replace in the dark. One reviewer suggested a rechargeable Li-Ion battery would be a good idea and I agree, but only if the battery lasted at least 24 hours. I dont know what the battery life of the AAA batteries are but theyve lasted over 20 hours so far. If the batteries do die on you, you still have the reflective belt. If you look carefully at the product image you can see two small black dots under the front of the belt. These are adjustable stops that slide along the illuminated plastic tubes and effectively allow you to size the vest to your torso. Its a good idea but I notice that they leave little indents in the tubes. This, and the fact that the tubes are very narrow, makes me think they are fragile and I think it would be very easy to break the vest if they catch on something as you pick it up, put it on, or take it off. Thats why I took a star off. Some people think that $60 is too much. Take a look at a Pearl Izumi reflective cycling vest. They start at ~$50. Its true the vest will keep you warmer too, but that might not be a good thing on a warm night. Would I recommend this to a friend? Absolutely. I have some dead friends who might still be alive if theyd been wearing this vest. But with drunk drivers its hard to know. RIP Jim and Rod.

53 Female Age (mid-40s) Physique Athletic Purchased Med/Large - specifically, to allow for additional room to wear over various winter jackets, from thin, puffy, and layered (e.g. Columbia - inner liner and outer weatherproof shel) Pros: -Bright -Various colors to choose from as well as modes (e.g. blinky, slow rhythmic color changes); based on mode selected, will affect charge hold -Charges quickly -Light weight -Easy to stow (made a small bag to store when not in use) -Comes with a usb c-cable -Comfortable Cons: -The cable outlet: would be nice to have a cover (e.g. silicon or a sliding piece), to help keep out dirt, dust, pollen or moisture -I do have mobility in my shoulder to turn on/off the lighting; however, can see how this would be difficult for some with less range-of-motion, without taking of the lights altogether. This may not seem important to some, however, one scenarios of changing lights/mode for me would be in the woods hiking with a solid color, but moving towards a road to walk to a trailhead with traffic change the mode to blinky. -Understandable the elastic straps are sewn; but not providing a way to wash them or replace them can estimate how easily with lots of outdoor use (for me, mainly hiking w/ my dog, all weather/yearly) it will get grimy easily, inhibit smells, and wear out. -The clear lighting tubes, while sturdy are definitely not indestructible and could see them easily get snagged/ripped. -The plastic light - for those who sweat hard, this may stick to your back if there is direct skin contact. Wipe it down and keep the system clean. Overall: I like the system and would recommend. The price, for what it is, is very expensive in my opinion. Customer service is very good (quick to respond and resolve).

I am an avid runner/amateur triathlete who qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships this year. I typically run in daylight hours, however due to my 2020-2021 work schedule, my new run time is in the 1600-1800 range. In the PNW, our winters get DARK by 1630. In order to keep up my off season training for HOPEFULLY a 2021 Ironman/Triathlon season, I decided it was time to buy some lights and extend my runs into the darkness. This doodad is AMAZING! NO bounce when walking, running, sprinting, standing still? Nada! Not noticeable whatsoever other than the fact that its bright, beautiful, and colorful! I did my favorite 6.5 mile lake loop this evening and watched every passing car give me plenty of room. I also enjoyed looking across the water at Christmas lights while seeing my own color reflection bounce of the lake below. I run with a sports top that holds my cellphone between my shoulder blades. The battery pack on the back of this touches my cell when placed up high. I thought this was going to be an issue, however after adjusting the battery pack a little lower and tightening the straps, this baby did not move. It stayed put and didnt interfere with my cell. I DEFINITELY recommend this for anyone who is running into the twilight/night hours. The lake loop I ran this evening has hardly any street lights (more country residential), but I felt just as safe as when I do in the day time. Thanks, NOXGEAR! I can now extend my outdoor running into the later hours of the evening!

I typically do not take the time to write reviews, so this is obviously something that I feel very strongly about. This is an incredible piece of equipment. My expectations were pretty high given some of the market videos and the Kickstarter background, and I was ready to be disappointed...I wasnt. The attention to detail in the engineering of the this product is top notch. First, the reflective belt portion of the Tracer 360 Vest felt extremely supportive when adjusted for my torso. I purchased a large (Im 511, 185) and the fit was great on my fast runs 5K at 6:25 pace, as well as my longer training runs of 10+ miles. My point of comparison is a similar vest product without the LED from Amphipod, which would ride up on my chest, loosen around the shoulder, totally ruining the flow of my runs. The Trace 360 was simply part of me, once I adjusted it appropriately the first time I used it. The overall weight of the unit was hardly noticeable, but keep in mind that this is the winter season and I have several layers. The cool factor comes with the neon LED lights. Again here the engineering is awesome. You can adjust the different color settings and light flashing/pulse scenes while the unit is still on. No need to be a yoga master to reach back and hit the single control button. The same button turns the unit off. Easy of use is a 10 here. As far as different colors and light scenes, there is probably 10 or more, lost count. Another great piece of design are small round clamps that slide along the LED lighting strip that keeps everything snug, and again prevents sliding around during the hardest portions of your run. I have used this mostly during my evening training runs, where I really get noticed by cars, pedestrians, pretty much everyone. I have received a lot of complements on this product, and comments on how much this increases the safe-visibility factor while on the road. I have also used this during my early morning bike rides. I enjoy the comfort and light weight factor here too. Overall a great product, well designed, well built and super happy to have come across it. Highly recommend evening or early morning runs and biking.

Nox Gear lights make me visible. I live in a rural area that doesnt have street lights, sidewalks or speed limits. Because I dont want run on my treadmill every night after work during the winter season I upgraded my lights with Nox Gear tracer 360 to improve my visibility to passing motorist. It is a lifesaving device every runner should add to their gear closet.

Love it. Love the colors and brightness of it. Many people complement my light. I feel safe because I’m visible. I still need a small clip on light to show me the ground. Overall I like it a lot!
