> 3 dayI love this tracer vest! I run in the early morning most days, so lights are a must! My husband and I both use these. The vest is not noticeable to wear, but I could be noticeable from space! I feel safer out running with this light vest on. 5

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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

> 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 dayI feel much safer walking and running in the evenings with the Tracer 360. I am 5 feet, 118 lbs, and wear a size 4 shirt, and the small fits me okay with a modification. I like to wear the belt snug on my chest., tucked right under The Girls. Initially, the tube on the lower right side kind of stuck out and grazed my right elbows, but I modified it by tying a rubber band in the back, about 3-4 inches below the on-off switch, to fasten the two tubes together. This holds the tubes closer to my body so they dont keep whacking my arms. Ive only had it a few weeks, but it feels like the construction is sturdy. It certainly is bright! I have noticed that cars slow down and steer well clear of me on out suburban streets! Other walkers and runners have asked where they can get one. I do find the flashing patterns a little distracting, so I use the solid colors, which do not bother me. When I run, the weight of the unit on the back initially bothers me, but I stop noticing it after awhile, and I think a little discomfort is well worth the safety trade off. However, I have not yet worn it on a run longer than 4 miles since I am currently recovering from an injury. I am curious to see how I will feel after 10 miles. If it bothers me on longer runs, I will update my review to reflect that. But again, I think the safety it provides is well worth a little discomfort. I know there are cheaper versions out there. Is it worth it to have all the different colors and flashing patterns? For me, I think so. In well-lit, low traffic residential areas, I use a solid, milder color, like blue or green. In areas that are darker but have fast-moving traffic, I will use the flashiest of the flash patterns, which I find too distracting to use all the time. I also like to use the flash patterns or more unusual colors (like pink) when there are competing lights from buildings, signs, cars, etc. So I like having the options for different environments. But if you run in the same kind of conditions all the time, then you may be able to get away with a cheaper competitive brand. Final note: my Asian-American mother -- who *ALWAYS* thinks I have paid too much for anything I purchase unless it is on 80% off clearance and *then* haggled to get another 5% off -- thinks that the Tracer360 is money well spent, and now wants me to buy one for her. And thats pretty much the highest praise I can give any product.

> 3 dayThis light is easy to wear (and fun to use because you can select the color scheme by simply pressing the button). It is used so other people/vehicles can see you. It doesnt provide much light to see by. There is a light attachment you can purchase separately. I have not tried that one since my current light works well.

> 3 dayThere 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!

> 3 dayOn 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.

> 3 day3 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!!!
