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

Ive only done a half dozen runs in this so far but I love the peace of mind of being more visible during early or late runs without wearing a headlamp or keeping my phone in my hand, risking killing the battery while out. I am giving it three stars for durability because at this point, its an uknown for me. Im hoping it stands up to my sweat. As for weight & comfort: its definitely lightweight and I barely know its there; and where I dont its not constricting or uncomfortable in anyway. Its easy to slip on, has several light modes I just know Im being seen during those neighborhood runs, where Id rather be on the asphalt than the concrete sidewalk. As of this writing mid-January 2022, I would definitely recommend this. I know there are other options for less money but I like the light-up function of this versus those that just reflect. Im not an avid runner at this point, so if I keep up with the running that might impact how I view this product.

I recently switched my routine so that I’m running in the morning. Unfortunately, it’s pitch black when I go. My previous solution was a lightweight yellow reflective vest, but those only work where there light (“reflective vest”); often that light is the car headlights already pointed at you. YOU CANNOT MISS THESE LIGHTS. Went out this morning and was definitely seen. Could tell that cars were stopping much sooner. The vest itself is very lightweight; it doesn’t constrict breathing while running and doesn’t bounce around either. Nor is it so bright that you’re blinded in the dark - I looked down a few times to make sure it was still on. Lots of color combinations across the LED spectrum to choose from. Great overall product. Won’t leave my home to run in the dark without it.

3 Jan 2018 update after almost 1 full year of use, 1023 miles logged: Still 5-STARS, the vest continues to operate as advertised. Its been through several rain storms and extreme cold for (Central Florida). I have replaced the batteries 3 times in one year. After every run I have rinsed it off being careful not to get battery compartment wet. I still get questions from other runners and cars passing by. Once again if you want to seen at night and early mornings get this vest. My review after 4 predawn runs totaling 30 miles about 10 of those miles in the street no sidewalk available. The Tracer360 is light weight and bright after the first few steps I forgot I was wearing it. Im 63, 215 pounds and ordered the XL, after adjusting the straps and tubes I still found there was a little bounce in the lighted tubes so I crossed them over my head to form an X this took some additional slack out and there was no more bounce in the tubes or the battery pack, this also eliminated the possibility of the tubes sliding off my shoulders as I ran. I wear a chest heart rate monitor when Im running and found the included reflective belt on the Tracer360 did not interfere with it at all. The belt rested just below the heart rate strap and never moved. The purpose of this product is to illuminate your person at night and it does that with flying colors (pun intended). I used one of the many flashing modes on each run, not only did every approaching vehicle move over before they even got close to me, they all actually slowed down, some of them to a crawl trying to figure out what the hell was approaching them, this even happened several times while I was running on the sidewalk with 10 to 20 feet between road and sidewalk. If you are wearing the Tracer360 you be seen!!!

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

Ive had a few of these. Theyre awesome and get the job done with zero batteries. Only complaint is the tube is prone to snapping with X amount of wear. I keep mine hanging on a hanger when not in use. I think its unavoidable at some point. Helpful for running or walking in the dark...Ive even had motorists stop and thank me for wearing it.

Great and beautiful product but needs a chest light to complete the awesomeness that this night light is. I run in a rural community where there are no street lights and had to buy a chest light, as a result it makes the use of both bulky and complicated. Please do add a larger battery and chest light to make the most awesome product available!

This is a great product that works very well for a avid runner like me. i use it every day during the winter and it takes a long time to break. My only complaint is with AMAZON I ordered an XL and they sent a m/l and you cant get ahold of anyone to help you Now i have to order another and return their mistake SO UNFAIR

I dont know how people run at night without this vest. I live and run in a busy suburban area that has limited lighting at night and wearing this vest makes me feel so much safer. People comment all the time on how easy it is to see me when wearing this. It is lightweight and comfortable, charges quickly, holds a charge for a long time, and is easy to use. If you run or walk at night, this would be the first product I would recommend adding to your gear.

On the morning of 9/7/22, I was invited to join a group of women at 4:20 AM on 9/9/22 to FinishLizasRun, and the organizer encouraged all runners to wear illuminated vests or to carry flashlights. I checked local businesses in my city, hoping to buy an illuminated vest, but none were available. I logged onto Amazon and learned that the Noxgear Tracer 2 could be delivered by 9/8/22, so I ordered it, not really expecting it to be delivered so quickly. As I was mowing my lawn the morning of 9/8, my vest was delivered to me by a friendly driver! I wore it to run several hours before dawn the next morning, and many other runners liked it and wanted to know where I got it. It’s comfortable and easy to use. I ordered a size S, which fits ladies size XS-S-M.

Just buy it, you will not regret it!
