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

This product was designed for cycling as the bulk of the emitted light originates from the maim control unit. The instructions detail the proper way to wear the unit with the control unit worn on ones back. This s where you charge the unit as well as select different light colors and flashing patterns. I knew this before purchasing but I have reversed similar safety lights and have effectively worn them that way. This way you can turn in off and on, change the pattern and most importantly have the majority of light on your front which is an important safety issue for runners who run against traffic. This unit can easily be worn reverse of the directions for this unit. Runners need minimal light on there backs. I am very happy with the unit. The ligh is sufficient and the color selection is vast. I also like the fact that there is some light on the rear while wearing the unit reversed and one of the best features for me is the minimal use of fabric materials as runners know that sweat, time after time, will degrade the fabric materials and the eventual buildup of mold/mildew will be an issue. This is by far the best option that I have used and would highly recommend this product.

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).

The only thing I wish I could change is that I ordered a small rather than a medium. The other downside is I have to charge it after 3-4 uses (approximately 6-7 hours of use total). Other than that, this thing is great. I run before work in the early morning hours, and it is pitch black in some places. The light in this are nice and bright….easy for cars to spot me from much further away. I like the ease of adjusting this and it stays in place while I’m running. I’d purchase this again.

Would recommend to anyone.

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.

Excellent

the product works very well - already several months . nothing falling apart . the light coming out really bright and delivers a very strong msg to all the drivers -this person is very serious about safety - keep distance ! . as I wrote in the title - if a driver doesnt see you with this - nothing will help him seeing you and actually he shouldnt be driving .

I bought this when a driver slowed down on one of my early morning runs and said they couldnt see me well from behind. That should no longer be a problem! The thing with running gear for me is, if its distracting at all, its not really doing its job. The vest is lightweight, doesnt bounce, and fits securely with no adjustment needed on the run. I dont even notice it. Tip on the sizing: Im 58 with a 37 chest, typically wear a mens small t-shirt. I fell between the S and M/L size vests. Ordered both and the S is a much better fit with less out of the box adjustment needed and less tubing slack to manage.

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
