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

I love how lightweight this is, and how bright, but the charge right out of the box didnt last very long. Apparently I didnt receive a charger with it, so Im hoping I have one that is compatible. My only other complaint is the length of the plastic cables (vest part). Im 52, 106lbs, and a petite frame overall. The shoulder cables constantly slide up through the belt and flop off my shoulders. My run was a constant battle, pulling them back down through the belt. I ended up having to use a small binder clip to pull them together in the front so they wouldnt fall off my shoulders.

Love the visibility it gives me on my walks or run. I bought 2 one for my wife and myself. We get tons of compliments on them!

I love this vest! Its so lightweight and easy to see. A real potential lifesaver! Unfortunately, Ive learned that the led lights can interfere with my pacemaker, so (although I wore it twice with no problems before I learned this), I wont be wearing it. But my husband will. Highly recommend, just not for me.

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.

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

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).

There is no comparison between using this illuminated vest versus simply reflective clothing. Have worn on several occasions and the behavior of passing cars is notably different. They clearly see me earlier and make a better effort to make space on the road. There are cheaper versions of this, but I noticed that some of them only illuminate some central LEDs in the middle of the vest. This item has 4 illuminated flexible tubes that wrap over the shoulders and around the waist. Make sure you order a big enough size. Im about 6ft 250 and find that the XL is a touch snug when layered over a winter vest. Well worth the money!

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.

I’ve been considering purchasing one for a while but didn’t know if it was worth the cost…IT IS! The vest was easy to adjust to my size and doesn’t bounce or move when running. It’s bright and has many color options. I’ve noticed drivers seeing me from further away than using a regular reflective vest. Definitely recommend for runners

I worn this for several early morning dog walks and believe it has improved my visibility to cars 100%. I haven’t had a near miss with a vehicle since I’ve been wearing this. Also, it’s so lightweight and comfortable to wear.
