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

Nox Gear lights make me visible. I live in a rural area that doesnt have street lights, sidewalks or speed limits. Because I dont want run on my treadmill every night after work during the winter season I upgraded my lights with Nox Gear tracer 360 to improve my visibility to passing motorist. It is a lifesaving device every runner should add to their gear closet.

Perfect product, except the light should hang lower on the body. I say this because it is covered by my running pack so I cant wear both together which defeats the purpose when running long distances at night. Otherwise, the light stays in place and it is well-made.

To 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.

Just buy it, you will not regret it!

I got stopped many times at night while walking my dogs throught the neighborhood by folks thanking me for having such bright indicators to help them see me at night. Batteries last pretty well in it. My only complaint is that the plastic tubing broke at the ends where it enters the hub at the bottom on one side and the top on the other. My saving grace was that I stuck the tube in the opening and taped them and the tubes starting lighting up again. I have had it since 2020.

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.

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.

There 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!

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 .
