> 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 dayIll try to update with photos, but this vest if great. Easy to fit over a thick coat, thin coat, shirt, sweater, etc. Very bright with multiple light settings. I can mount and front light, but the portion that goes around your arms is great. I use it when I ride my bike or my electric scooter. Motorist can easily see me and it doesnt take up much space in a bag.

Greater than one weekMy husband and I ordered these after seeing a neighbor walking in it. We have two large dark dogs, and taking them for walks at night was an iffy prospect, even in our well-lit neighborhood. But we are both clearly seen while wearing these, based on the comments we get from people calling out to us that they like the vests. We also wore them during a night-time 5K, and saw several others wearing them as well. I like the ability to change the colors or patterns of the lights, I feel like the flashing ones make people take more notice. Well worth the cost!

> 3 dayI’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 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.
