> 3 dayMy sister loves going out for night-time walks to clear her mind before going to sleep. But these walks take her on very dark country roads in Pennsylvania, so when my wife and I found out we knew that we had to get her one. We have been using ours for years ever since the Kickstarter program and love them. Had one delivered to her and she fell in love with it from the start, she had already used it and even had a few other late night dog walkers ask her about it.

> 3 dayMy husband likes to ride his bike early in the morning before dawn. I bought him this, thinking it would probably end up in the closet. Cyclists dont like ANY extra weight. When he finally tried it, he was surprisingly pleased. He says he hardly feels like it is on, and the various light patterns are great. The battery lasts pretty long, too. The most important thing is, he wears it!

> 3 dayI decided to buy the vest and dog harness because I ride a bike and walk in the early morning and evening and it’s dark. I absolutely love it! It’s very lightweight and the charge last a long time. If you can’t see us you are blind. Anything you can do to make yourself visible can keep you safe. I have received so many complaints from people on how cool we look. The love the matching harness! I also ended buying the light and the Bluetooth speaker. Also the customer service is great I had a question on the vest and left a message on the weekend and got a call first thing Monday morning. I highly recommend all the products.

> 3 dayEverything about this is great, had zero bounce and definitely kept me visible. Based on the size chart I was on the very top of the small size or mid range on the M/L with a 36” chest measurement. I chose the M/L but wish I would have went with the small. The only thing that will take some getting used to is it is so bright it is hard to tell if a car is behind you or if it’s just the vest.

> 3 dayAs an urban runner in Los Angeles, this vest provides excellent visibility for night time running. The lights are quite bright and are complemented by the retroreflective strap. The unit is easy to adjust for fit and is comfortable for long runs. The battery life is excellent and I appreciate that it is rechargeable with USB-C. I am surprised I dont see more folks with these considering how poor street lighting is here. Highly recommended for areas where you are running around cars that are not paying attention for pedestrians.

> 3 dayI bought this for my daughter who walks to work in the dark. It’s lightweight, bright and comfortable. It was with the price, in my mind.

Greater than one weekI’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

> 3 dayWe got three of these (S/M/XL) for use on our regular bike rides, and they are incredible. First of all, they are super lightweight and we dont even notice were wearing them (from a comfort perspective, you can obviously see them glowing/blinking/flashing). The sizes work great, our ten year old wears the small, my wife wears the M/L, and I wear the XL. Note that Im not small (64 and 300+ lbs) so the XL really can fit an XL person. The lighted loops are very long and go over the shoulders, and the belt is stretchy allowing it to fit a lot of different shapes and sizes. The only slight negative is that by design the main control unit is mounted on ones back, making it a bit of a chore to turn on/off or change the color/pattern by pressing the button, however this can be worked around by either a) getting it set correctly before turning it on, b) having someone else do the pressing for your, or c) reeeaaaacchhing way around and pressing it yourself. Were all flexible enough to reach it ourselves, but its a bit of a contortion and hard to precisely hit the small button. We would appreciate having the controls in the front, but its not enough of an issue to take away any stars given this products otherwise stellar performance. Highly recommended.

19-11-2024This is an excellent running vest. It’s insanely bright, has tons of settings (flashing or glowing a singular color, flashing 3-4 colors,) and the battery lasts 2+ years with 2x/week useage. It fits very adult to the female body, doesn’t add any noticeable weight, doesn’t bounce, simple to adjust! It *is* expensive, but it’s a kidnapping deterrent & shows cars you exist… & would you rather pay $65 for a vest or $5000 for an ER visit after being hit by a car. Similarly, if you were kidnapped you’d probably shell out $65 in a heartbeat to escape. Invest in safety devices if you’re a female runner. This vest, pepper gel, earbuds that let you hear surrounding sound, knuckle lights, etc. this is a simple and important part of safety.

Greater than one weekTo sum it up. I will be buying more of these if I ever have to and will be running with this for the rest of my life 5 stars! I find reviews to be really helpful when they are listed in a pros and cons list so here we go. Pros 1. Literally life saving. On my third run I was almost run over by a distracted driver. Which has never happened to me on a run before. I was shocked when it happened and they even stopped and apologized and said she reacted right away because of how bright this is. 2. Traffic immediately starts to behave differently when I run with this on. I can see almost every car drive around me as if there was a bubble like we are supposed to do with bikes. Its amazing. 3. Incredibly light and comfortable. I dont notice it all when running. 4. Great battery life and weather resistant. I have run with it while its drizzling and had no issue. I can charge it once and it will last me about a week and half with 30 minute runs everyday. 5. Great accessory. The additional light you can purchase with it works incredibly well. Highly recommend that. Cons. 1. The price. YIKES. However, very worth it for the safety that it provides, literally already saved me once. Plus the build quality is noticeable good. So that makes up for it. 2. Pay attention to sizing and check out the sizing chart. I wish this was more inclusive to bigger bodies. There are plenty of curvy runners out there that could use this. Not to mention all the road workers and night shift workers that could benefit from this in a larger size. For reference I wear a size small in Old Navy shirts and according to their sizing chart I use a M/L.
