Running Reflective Vest with Inside Pocket and 2 Bands, High Visibility Reflective Running Gear Safety Vest Straps for Men Women Kids for Night Running Walking Cycling

As the days get shorter, I have to run in the dark or just don't run. Sometimes the latter seems more attractive but the mirror does not agree when it shows my 50-something year old body. About a week ago, I was running at dusk while wearing a white shirt and strobing yellow LED belt on my waist when a driver just about ran be down turning into a drive in front of me. She screamed that I "needed more light." This is when I noticed that one of her headlights was burned out. The truth is, I'm not the one who needed more light. But I realized I wouldn't be able to defend my argument if I was dead. So I decided to do what I could to make myself more visible to the idiots.This vest is a few bucks more than some of the others I found on Amazon. However, from the photos, it seemed brighter than the others. I also liked the fact that the product came with a pair of ankle/arm bands and internal phone pocket. Even better was the return policy and lifetime warranty.This vest is, in fact, quite visible in the dark. The reflective tape lights you up like a Christmas tree. The fit is good. I normally buy medium jackets and shirts, and that translated well to the vest. Not too tight, nor to loose.Hopefully, I am now "idiot proofed."

I ordered the small in the pink and I wear it over the top of a sweatshirt and jacket and it fits fine. I’m 5’4” and 125lbs.

As I said, it's ight and easy to adjust. Unlike many similar products, it actually has reflective patches on the side, which is why I chose it. It would be nice if it had a slightly larger mesh size for increased breathability.The Zipper pocket is on the inside which is a bit of a pain when you need to access your phone for your fitness app, music player, or what have you. My phone barely fits when it is in its case ((6-3/4x3-3/8x1/2" 17.15x8.6x1.25cm) so if your phone is bigger, you may find you have to remove it from a case or it may not fit.

Works well, reflective and comfortable to use on runs

I wear this for jogging in the dark. Cars notice me immediately. The velcro on the side is stronger than it needs to be. I slip it over my head so I don't have to unhook the velcro. very lightweight. It will be good in summer also.

Now that winter is here I bought this product so I could walk at night and feel safe. First of all I am very impressed with the material. I was worried it would be cheap plastic but the material is microfiber kind of like a Nike workout shirt. I am 5’ 2” and120 pounds and I can wear a small size over a fleece jacket and a windbreaker and it still fits. Does it work? Absolutely! How do I know this? When I went out for a walk at night today every time a car would come up to me it would immediately slow down at least 100 to 200 feet away. When I walked previously with just a flashlight cars would not slow down until they were much closer to me indicating that they probably didn’t see me until the last minute. I highly recommend this and I feel so much better about walking at night knowing that I will not get run down by a car!

I need a reflective vest for two primary reasons - running, and to keep in my hiking pack in case I need to travel along a road at night. I currently have two loose mesh vests, which are okay, but in reality do little to really make me visible. better than nothing, somewhat effective during the day, but that's it. I wanted something more substantial, so I purchased this.The major bonus is that it is a more solid material, so it is much more reflective. A lot of brightly-lit surface area and large reflectors. It is pretty heavy, though. Not by normal clothing standards, but by reflective vest standards - it is on the heavier side and not very compact. Most of the latter is due to the large reflective bands, which are by nature stiffer than the rest of the material. As such, I don't think I'd really like it while running, and it takes up more space in my pack than I would prefer.Size-Wise - I am a 5'10" male with an athletic build. I ordered the medium - it was a little large for me when just wearing a T-shirt, but not much. It would fit well if I had a jacket on. If I wanted something that fit more closely, I'd order a small instead.I'm not going to return it - I'll just stash it in my car, in case I need it for emergency purposes. As for recommendations, if you don't mind a little extra weight, then this would be a good idea for walking or hiking, at least. If you are looking for something closer to a traditional sports jersey, then maybe shop around for something lighter.

Nice color. Bought small even though I normally wear a medium, and it fits well. I'm 5' 3", 139 lbs.
