Brought this as the nights drew in to ensure I could keep up with my 100km a month running target
Very easy to use and set up with multiple options for the lights. The battery has a relatively long life and even with the lights off it is highly visible
It is comfortable to wear and I barely noticed it while running
This is a great value product suitable for anyone interested in running before sunrise or after sunse
Most of my runs are at night so this was much needed! You click the bottom of the light on the front and back of your vest and it gives you several flashing options. Good quality battery life too, so far.
This vest exceeded my expectations. I run early morning so needed better visibility and protection during the winter period. This is great quality, highly visible and the light is a fab feature with three different settings. Would highly recommend. Really good value for money.
Really like this. Fits well, light is bright and clear, does exactly what it’s designed to do. How long it will last? Don’t know as only just bought it. But very pleased
This is exactly what I was looking for for hubby who goes out running daily. The lights are really bright & have 3 settings and it’s ideal for running at night or low level lighting. Can be seen from quite a distance so ideal from a safety point of view. Husband delighted and wears it every time.
This arrived swiftly; was easy to assemble and charge, and is simple to use. My daughter and I share it and we both feel a bit safer for having it on. I use it for even just grey days – can never be too visible!
Its a bit fiddly to get to the charging ports but it’s very bright and very adjustable. People will think you are a park warden or the police if you get the blue one but I love i
Happy with the product, seems well made, very bright which is needed when cycling down unlit village roads at night , No happy with delivery, POD said posted in letter box, no it wasn’t !!! It was left all night behind a plant pot to get wet 🙁
Bought this as a replacement for my previous running light, which was a more conventional circular chest light. The harness is lightweight and easy to put on, as well as being easy to adjust while you’re wearing it. I have a lot of running gear that is quite difficult to adjust, so it’s a rare treat to have something I could adjust without even having to stop my run. The controls are similarly simple and easy to get to.
I will say – this is not a light for seeing by. To be fair, I didn’t expect it to, based on the reviews, but it bears repeating for prospective buyers. This light will help to keep you visible while running, cycling etc. in the dark, especially with the added fluorescent strips and bright colour. It will not be enough to light the way on a dark night, so you’re still going to need a torch or a headlamp or something in addition.
Mine came pre-charged, which was a bonus. The charging cables are small and practical – it’s a USB charger with the splitter and 2 micro USBs to plug into the front and back lights. It seems to charge pretty quickly.
Overall, I would recommend this light if you’re looking for something to make you more visible in the dark, and to keep you safe.
Of all the visuals I have on my bike, this is probably the most conspicuous. Vehicles seem to see well ahead of time and give me room when they pass. I use this in the flashing mode.
I bought this so that I would be seen at night while walking my dog. I feel like cars can see me far away. The only downside is the light on the front does kind of reflect up and can be a bit of a glare. I solved this by putting a piece of black tape over the top of it and now it doesn’t give me any trouble. For the price, definitely worth it.
This project will make sure drivers are aware you nea
I like the double-wire charging cord allowing you to charge both lights simultaneously.
This vest is light weight and perfect for jogging. No matter what your doing noon or night as long as you have one with the lights on you will be seen .
Great product, works as expected and makers me feel safer walking at nigh
It certainly gives one confidence and is bright. I use it on country lanes and through my thankfully unlit village with few paths off the road.
I bought this for my motorbike to help make me more visible in the night and fog with winter setting in. I would absolutely recommend to other bikers, runners wtc or even young children for school runs etc
Yes one size fits all
I am 3X, and it did fit and there is still room. The resizing make this reflector perfect and having multiple light setting make It excellent for biking. It is also easy to use.
Very long battery life. I let the lights on this vest sit on for hours. It was still very bright after 4 hours and still on but dim at 12 hours. The “High Visibility” part is no joke. While I feel a bit silly in it (like an extra in Tron) nobody is hitting me on accident. As long as I don’t go jogging through my ex’s neighborhood, I should be safe.
Excellent piece of kit very visible if not switched on . Switched on even bette
It matches my expectations from looking online. It is a bright pink. It is easy to put on. It is flexible enough, it fits well on both me or my mother when we walk in the morning and can easily be adjusted if you have lots of layers. I am 5’6″ 155 lbs and my mom is 5’7” and 180lbs. It is also nice and lightweight so neither of us really noticed it much when wearing it. It is easy to put on too.
The light isn’t super bright but it does a fair job improving nighttime visibility for others and cars when we are out walking but it isn’t good enough to improve your personal visibility the way a flashlight would. So we still wore our headlamps to improve our own personal visibility.
This green reflective belt is highly visible and provides a true sense of safer walking my dog or riding my bicycle in the evening or dark night. It easily recharges fully overnight, and the off/on button is responsive and sure.
I am 5’5″ and medium weight. The belt fits my breadth and the height from shoulder to waist just fine, with room to spare around my waist. My 6’2″ husband wears it sometimes, but it is short for his height. The waist part buckled around approximately the middle of his rib cage.
I would also like to see better reflectivity on the back. The back has no lighting, and while there is reflectivity, it’s not much. I don’t think I am highly visible to drivers approaching from behind me, but I have two tail lights, a headlight, and reflective tape on my helmet.
Overall, I do recommend this shoulder-to-waist belt, and also recommend to all riders to add as much light and reflective items as possible as dusk approaches. So many drivers are texting, talking, or messing with info-tainment screens that cyclists are at more risk than ever before — not even to mention alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers.
This belt is a relatively inexpensive, and effective, safety purchase for walking or cycling in the dark.
This high visibility reflective vest has been proving to be an amazing addition to our lives, has not had anyone overreact and part the crowd for us to make us a path, which can sometimes be very awkward when you are just wanting to enjoy events like everyone else, you just want them to be just that little more aware that you have physical disabilities which may not be noticeable to others.
Crowded events such as bonfire night, the really congested walkway areas, the light can vary from complete darkness, to many distracting attractions such as a doughnut stand, and when you’ve got groups attending of all ages, they want to focus on their group staying together, however his high visibility reflective vest has prevented the “Every person for themselves” scenario, and the solid green light attracts just enough attention, to, for instance, create a gap in a moving crowd to allow us to cut through to a different area.
Have mainly been using this high visibility reflective vest during events, however, as pictured, if you are walking through woodland area, this not only provides some light so you can have more visibility yourself, but anyone with you, you are much easier for them to see and for them to also have peace of mind, perhaps a carer.
For those who typically wear a backpack, there is still enough light and reflectiveness to have people be aware, and another great feature of this is, if one side drains of battery, you can flip it around, however we have not found the need to do this, perhaps because we don’t track which side was used last or whatnot, but regardless, minimal charge goes for a long time!
This vest is a necessity for anyone who exercises in low visibility conditions. It provides VERY bright light, fits great and is lightweight (I don’t even notice I’m wearing it). There’s a buckle that makes it easy to get on and off. I can’t comment on how long the battery goes between charging but it must be a while because I have not needed to charge mine since receiving it.
THis is a great vest for walking, running, or cycling at night. I love to run at night and I am always worried someone will not see me even when I wear my reflective gear. It is super easy to lght up. One click of a button and you are on you way! The best part about this is that it is so lightweight.
My husband and I like to take walks at night in the neighborhood but our neighborhood doesn’t have a lot of street lights. So this LED Reflective vest will workout perfect for the nightly walks making us visible. Love the bright pink color and the lights on the front and back have 3 settings available. The straps are easy to adjust. One item is the charging part of it, I wish the cords were a little bit longer.
Didn’t really know what to expect with this, given the fairly low price point.
In reality, it works quite well. The Green lights are very bright, and should be noticeable from quite some distance, although don’t assume they’ll light up the floor in front of you; I still carry a torch with me if I’m running along some unlit paths and need to see anything in front of me.
Fit is comfortable and secure, and while I’ve not accurately measured how long the lights last for, I’ve had 3 weeks of running out of them before I noticed the front was getting a bit dimmer (about 12 miles a week), didn’t take too long to charge back up.
I think my only real negative is that I wish the flashing presets for the lights were a bit slower. I tend to keep the front light on permanently and have the rear flashing, but the first setting is much too rapid for my liking and the second is still a bit too quick. Still, it’s a minor quibble. Not sure how the lifespan will fare for this item, but so far so good.
This is a very simple device to slip on over your clothes for nighttime protection from vehicles. It’s amazing how invisible pedestrians and cyclists become once the sun goes down. This reflective vest will add an extra layer of protection and allow drivers to see you.
My minor complaint is difficulty turning back light on and off
Loved this BRIGHT addition to my bike riding at dusk. Easy to don over my head and the LED light strips, front and back, have 3 different settings for blinking or steady on. Includes USB charge cord. There is no way anyone will miss you with this on! Very happy!
Simple to use with quick connections in front for getting dressed fast and easy.Offer me 100% visibility when im riding my bike in the dark with front and back green led lights working on 3 modes fast flashing slow flashing and always on.Led units are separated and need to be charged one by one with usb cable.After I adjust it fitted me perfect feels easy and comfortable to wear for a long period of time.
I use this to go running. It is light weight and comfortable. Very bright , can have static light or flashing . Easy to charge
I’m a plus size woman, around an 18us torrid and there’s plenty of adjustability to make it loose or snug. It’s definitely bright. If I could change anything I would have chosen one that doesn’t go over your head first. I like being able to open them from the front and remove them quickly.
This is perfect for our family when we go out for a walk after dark in the neighborhood. Highly visible from a distance, front and back, because it lights up on the chest and center of the back. The bands are also reflective. Haven’t had to recharge yet, but expect it will last a long time between charges. Love the pink color.
It is so important for pedestrians to be seen at night and even during the day. Some people just don’t understand that if they’re not wearing lights or reflective garments, then you’re invisible to most drivers at night.
That’s where this product can help. It has hi-vis colors, so you can be seen in the daylight too. The reflective elements are mostly for nighttime, but can also be helpful during daylight hours.
Plus, there’s LED lights on the front and back of it. It looks like a glow stick, but much brighter. There are different flashing patterns to alert drivers and other pedestrians of your presence. It’s easy to operate and includes a cable for charging.
I’m using this for when I’m riding my bicycle at night. That’s really the only time I can stand to be seen. Please, don’t run me over nice motorist. I also like to take walks at night. This helps a lot.
I haven’t had any issues with it so far. The straps are easy to adjust for the right fit. The light is a great addition. I can recommend this in good conscience.
I think this will work out great.
I got this LED safety vest for my wife who likes to go for walks in the evenings. Although we live in a fairly quiet, safe neighborhood I do worry about her visibility to passing vehicles. Well I decided to stop worrying and got her an LED vest (pink). This one certainly does the trick. From the LED lights on front and back to the reflective material, it is impossible not to see a person coming from a long way away who is wearing this in the dark. If you can’t see a person wearing this then you are driving with your eyes closed. I’d go so far as to say that the front light is almost too bright.
She said the front light was a bit annoying at first due to the brightness but she has gotten used to it. The LED lights can be turned on and off individually so if it bothers you too much you can just cut the front light. You still have the rear light plus reflective material to alert drivers. Fit is acceptable for my wife who is 5’3″. But it’s universal fit so it’s going to fit most people “okay” and only a few perfectly. Not a big deal. It fits well enough. I like that it’s rechargeable too because that means no batteries to replace. All in all, an excellent night time safety vest.
This is as bright a safety vest as anyone could possibly want. The flashing lights would be impossible to miss. I love that it’s so noticeable for those times when I’m outside on the roadway at night. It’s also great that it’s a reflective vest even when the flashing lights are not on. It’s adaptable to light and safety conditions. Very easy to put on and adjust to any size. This is a great safety vest.
I was looking for something EXACTLY like this for running. I run in a very rural area where cars don’t slow down or even move over and I typically wear bright colors but even with that I still don’t feel like I’m seen. This vest is absolutely perfect because it has a light on both the front and back. The vest is rechargeable and comes with the charger which is even better! The lights have 3 different settings and all 3 are eye-catching. I am VERY happy with this product!
Got this for the wife for morning runs in the dark. It has front and back lights that are super bright. The only downside is that both front and back have to be charged separately, which seems a bit silly, but oh well. It definitely works as advertised.
I use this item for my return journeys in an evening, as I cycle. I do use an E-Bike, so I’m fortunate enough to have lights on the bike, but these ones are bright! There are 3 modes: solid on, long flash, and quick flash (strobe). Not sure about the longevity of the batteries just yet.
Each of the lights (front and back) need to be charged independently, which I initially thought was going to be a pain. But the item comes with a splitter USB (mini) cable, so you have one USB socket to connect to your charging plug, and at the other end of the cable you can charge front and back lights simultaneously. I thought that was a nice touch.
Adjusting is straightforward, but the clips where the straps attach together seem a tiny bit flimsy. I’ll have to test these for longer, but it’s a minor issue at this point in time.
Overall, happy with this, and it adds to my personal safety while riding in the dark. Recommended.
Comfortable, lightweight and easy to adjust. Works well and is ideal for added safety when out walking or jogging after dark.
I got this for my husband. He is a utility worker and works in the dark during the shorter days. It is highly visible and works/fits as we expected.
Easy to fit on and get off. Reflection gives good visibility but light works even better.
Running feels a lot safer in the early mornings now.
I have used regular reflective vests which resemble those you see wore by construction crews. I was not very happy with this type vest. It did not look athletic, it flopped in the wind, and it was an extra layer of fabric.
This Light Up Vest looks super sleek and it can be adjusted to any waist size. It is so lightweight that I don’t even notice it.
The light is very bright and certainly helps me to be visible to drivers. It has three different modes, but I always use the regular solid mode, as I find the blinking modes distracting.
One thing to be aware of, when the LED light begins to dim, it needs to be turned off. The manufacturer warns that “deep battery discharge will damage the battery”
This high vi’s running harness is extremely bright and heavy duty. It is well packaged when it arrives with its own plastic storage bag and instructions.
It is usb rechargeable and very comfortable to wear.
The material is alps reflective when hit with other lights so you still stand out when hit with a torch or headlights etc even when it is off.
The pink colour is also a vibrant colour.
Well worth the price.
I love this. It’s a bit awkward to put on, especially if you’re top heavy, but the lights are brigh
Topward Running Vest High Visibility Reflective Gear, Mens Hi Viz Vests, Lightweight Adjustable 360-degree Hi Vis Safety Vest for Dog Walking Jogging Hiking Camping Cycling Motorcycle
Very comfortable and very smart idea
The vest comes with clear instructions on how to use and wear the vest . The lights are of a green LED set up . The LED lights have modes , fast flashing, slow flashing and static mode. the vest is made up of a green highlight colour which is also has grey reflective stripes on the waist band and on the shoulder straps and the front and rear area .The LED lights are very clear and bright. Very comfortable and good good quality elasticated material. The instruction manual is nicely laid out with pictures and well written information on wearing the vest and setting up the vest .fits all sizes with Adjustable straps on shoulder and waist. The charger cable is a split cable consisting of two micro USB ports and a USB charger port . A very sensible giving all round protective highvisablty for night’s. Good quality clothing.
I need to wear Hi Vis at work due to working in a warehouse. However wearing a large coat can be a bit too much, and the little vest jackets are a bit flimsy. So decided to try this as an alternative. It’s an easy to fit solution. Seems well made and has the reflective bands. It does have the flashing lights which are turned on and off independently. So it’s a bit difficult to check the rear one is off until you remove it , check the mirror,or ask a friend. It is a bit fiddly to charge. Although the required split cable is included, u need to access the charge ports through a small hole in the front and back of the vest. And one of mine was pretty tight. The other thing really, is that is does look like you’re wearing a dog harness. As it’s quite short, it only really cradles your chest area when fitted. But it’s functional and less sweaty than other options, so I will still be using it over winter despite people taking the micky out of what I’m wearing.
I ordered this for my husband who runs. We live in the countryside and he runs on country lanes where there are no footpaths or street lights so from the end of September until March he needs to wear lights as well as reflective gears to be safe on the roads as many lanes are 60mph.
He is very happy with this light up chest strap. It is fully adjustable so would fit a slim female or a 6ft male like himself. The straps are a nice flexible and soft and as they are adjustable you can wear them tight or loose as you prefer.
The light bar is on both the back and front and both have there own power buttons so you can have them on different settings which is fantastic. So my husband chooses to have the back on flashing lights which makes him more visible to approaching cars and the front on a steady constant light as he doesn’t like the flash in his eyes.
The lights are bright and they can also be recharged by the usb lead which is included in the pack. Totally recommend for any runner, cyclist or dog walker as winter approaches.
I have a 52″ Chest ….. yeah ! I know I need to eat less … But that’s why I go on my morning walk….. (Not to the cake shop either … Cheeky )
Trouble is where I am in West Wales at the moment they seemed to have forgotten to put the pavements down when they put the roads in !! – Joking aside when walking into oncoming traffic in the earlier hours of the morning of when it gets to dusk it’s a bit shall we say “Hair Raising!” to say the least. Sometimes I get spotted at the last moment and have to literally throw myself onto the grass embankment to stop my self from being the latest hood ornament for some inconsiderate driver .
O.k Joking aside this is a great bit of kit that I was surprised actually went round my body… With a bit to spare . It didn’t feel uncomfortable once I had adjusted the straps to my bodyshape & then I was ready for my 1st excursion. I had previously hooked up the dual USB Charger, 2 leads connected to make 1 usb connector (Well thought out ! nothing like having to have 2 wires to charge 1 thing) waited about an hour & all was good.
Time to set off …..
Little tip here : Turn on the rear flasher before you put it on …. Lol ! I didn’t and then realised afterwards.
Turn on the front one set it to either “strobing” , “Flashing” or “solid” & off you go ….
I found that during my walk people were crossing to the other side a lot earlier than they were before & more people waved to thank me as I waved to thank them . It’s all about helping each other…. I make myself more visible it helps them to spot me earlier & i feel safer all round. Of course this isn’t just for those people like myself who have a walk to shed the pounds …. It’s great for on your Cycle , Motorcycle , Scooter e.t.c
So give it a try … & Stay Safe well worth 19.99 of anyones money for that piece of mind
Hope this helps ….
I got this to wear while riding a motorcycle at night. Even during bright sunny days people don’t always see me coming (either that or they take joy in pulling out right in front of me) and at night that problem is going to be as bad or worse.
But wearing this increases my chances of being seen by other motorists, which is the best thing I can do for my own safety. I am a pretty conservative rider, but I cannot control others. All that I can do is try to increase my visibility, and this vest is designed to do just that.
With reflective material running up and down both front and back, and with the strips of LEDs on both front and back as well, I believe I have upped my visibility tremendously. The LEDs have 4 options: off, fast flash, slow flash and steady on. The front and back strips can be run independently, so you can vary the look depending upon circumstances.
There is an included micro USB charger with two male connectors so you can charge both LED strips simultaneously. I have worn reflective belts with LEDs before, often when walking the dog along the road, but this takes the visibility aspect to an entirely different level. I think these would be great for any outdoor activity on or near roadways.
This running vest is absolutely ideal for running, cycling or rowing in the dark. It is really light in weight and the straps are very easy to adjust to your size.
There are three light settings: rapid flashing, slower flashing and solid light. The vest is charged via a USB port and the charging cable has two connectors, enabling the lights at both the front and back of the vest to be charged simultaneously.
I am trying to encourage all of my children to wear one whilst out cycling at night!
This high vis vest is fantastic, it comes with a usb cable to charge up the light. The harness can be adjusted to fit different body sizes, you can choose to the have light flashing or just lit. The light is very bright for when you’re out in the dark, other people or drivers can see you very well. It’s a gadget I never knew I need until I had one, I highly recommend it.
A small and simple elasticated belt that goes around your waist and over both shoulders. Separate front and back lit panels that can flash or glow.
Adjustable straps will fit from small the large (easily fits a large 6ft male).
The lights each have a micro-USB socket at the bottom and charge quickly. Each has its own button to turn on and off and scroll through the modes.
Highly reflective and bright lights that can be seen a long way off. Perfect to keep you safe when out in the dark. Small package means it’s very portable too.
This is very comfortable, lightweight and very bright. Ideal for all outdoor activities in the dark, i use it for dog walking and it can be seen from a long distance. Made well with sturdy attachments. Pleased with this product.
Very very satisfied with this product that fuses great materials with style and function to create a very treasured possession.
My four year old sees daddy running and always wants to emulate me. Now, with this product that actually shrinks as low down as to fit the stature of one that age, she’s geared up and ready to go.
Perhaps the only thing to say is that it would have been handy to have the full control system reachable at the front rather than one on the back and the other light control on the front but this is just not enough to shift the highlight of 5 stars.
As somebody who is fond of hiking and taking a regular run high visibility wear is useful in the dark, rainy and foggy winter months for good safety.
This high visibility rechargeable vest is comfortable to wear and easy to get in and out of. It’s very reflective and bright (up to 1000 feet of reflectivity) with built-in LED front and back lights which have three different modes including always on, slow flash and quick flash. These lights can be charged with the special USB charger provided.
Overall, this vest is simple to use, and I would trust this rechargeable vest over other standard vests because of its extra brightness.
This vest is good for kids and adults the size adjusts which is really cool its super bright pink neon light works well and also has two other modes of flashing, we have used it for bike riding in the evening and was really great and bright comes with a USB to charge really pretty aswell and my daughter loves it its now a must have on when going out in the evenings.
I love this. We walk our dogs on single track roads in winter and we make sure we can seen at all times. The dogs have flashing collars, we have fluorescent vests, head torches and we also carry torches. This is the first time we have tried one of these flashing vests and what a game changer this is.
The elastic is good quality, the flashers are bright, it fits many different sizes and best of all, its simple to put on and off, no more difficult than a fluorescent vest.
The charger is well protected from water. The lights can be flashing fast, slow or constant on.
This is a must for anyone who is outside at night.
I ordered this Hi-Vis vest for leisure cycling during the darker months of the year. Normally I wear a bright, high-vis yellow jacket but once darkness falls, it is no longer hi-vis and I need something which will be reflective in vehicle headlamps, which this is, but it also has the additional benefit of illuminated patterns to both the chest and back. It also means I can wear normal clothing beneath including winter waterproofs without having to splash out on specific winter cycling gear.
A single press of the enclosed LED strip to the front or back switches it into rapid flashing mode, a second press switches to a slower flash and third press illuminates the strip. In dark conditions, this is very highly visible while the reflective bands around the waist, back and shoulders give front and rear visibility to other road users.
Pleasingly, both the front and rear illuminated LED strips can be operated independently. Often I won’t need the front strip and this also means running time can be doubled by wearing the vest back to front giving a running time of up to about 16-18 hours.
Visibility is superb and this can be seen from a mile ahead on a dark road.
When not required it can be rolled up and stored in panniers then once home after a few rides, it can be recharged via micro-USB. For convenience, both panels can be charged simultaneously and a twin-charging cable is supplied with two micro-USB plugs. At first they are a little fiddly to insert inside the relatively stiff panels over the charging ports but these soften following some wear.
The vest is also suitable for other sports – eg kick-scootering, walking, jogging, dog-walking or simply any time you wish to remain highly visible for safety in dark conditions. I used it in heavy rain and can confirm it is weatherproof and the elastic dries within about an hour.
A good buy for winter safety and fully adjustable to fit all sizes from teen to most typical adults for wear over winter clothing.
This is brilliant really and I honestly believe that when the Highway Code changes came into effect that something like this should have been compulsory for motorcyclists in poor weather/visibility along with cyclists and anyone walking on roads with no footpath to keep everyone safe. The fact it has two independent light sources means that if one goes flat or fails you still have another one especially as it can be worn either way round.
The two independent lights means you can have the front and back do different things like flashing or lower/higher brightness
Really it is essential for anyone on the road that is vulnerable
Topward Running Vest. Green. This is perfect for my cousin who runs. He loves it.
19.99 at time of review. 5*.
This is a really comfortable vest thanks to the amount of adjustability it offers.
Taking it out of the packet, it was way too big at first, but putting it over my head and adjusting the various straps, I was quickly able to get it tight enough to my body that when I was running it was tight to my body and there was no bounce. The straps are soft and elasticated and the reflective front and back have some padding on them, so everything is comfortable enough against your body too.
Once you have secured a good fit, all you need to do is undo the vest with two little sliding latches and take it off. This means that the next time you put it on you can do so without adjusting anything – you just put it over your head and do up the latches – meaning it’s literally a 10 second task to take it off or put it on 🙂
In terms of appearance, this is a very bright vest. I picked up the yellow/green version and everything is very visible and reflective. Once you turn the light on, it becomes extremely easy to be seen in the dark – to do this you just tap the on button. Once on, you have a choice between solid and flashing lights depending on your preference. To change them you just tap the power button again. I was really happy with how bright this jacket is and my partner said (after driving past me in the dark) that I was visible for quite some distance.
Best of all, the fact this is rechargeable with a USB cable is really useful. Although I wish it was USB C as opposed to Micro USB (due to availability), I found it really easy to just put the charger in this and power it up after each run. It saves loads of time compared to batteries.
Overall, I’m really pleased with this. It’s comfortable, extremely visible in the dark and easily rechargeable too. I feel very safe when out running with it on.
Hi-vis material is a must if you are biking, running or walking along a roadside and this is an exceptional product that does what you would want from such a safety conscious product.
This comes pre-charged, but is supplied with a USB cable with charging ends – one for the back and one for the front. The built in LED’s offer three modes of lighting – fast flash, slow flash or steady light, all of which will draw attention to you when biking or out walking. The vest has adjustable straps so that you can make sure that it will fit you and when on it is comfortable as well as giving you a strong sense of security. You can see this in the dark without it’s lighting on, but the LED’s add a much stronger sense of security for you.
I feel much safer wearing this!
This is a fantastic bit of safety kit, especially fpr winter nights when out exercising.
The straps are adjustable and reflective. You can see these bouncing back the tiniest bit of light with ease.
The rechargeable light is the star. You can cycle between solid/flashing /fading light.
I’ve only been out for a quick 30 mins but it was still glowing brightly and the Mrs said she could see me across a field, well over 100m away.
Good quality safety kit.
The LED lights on this vest are super bright! Sounds great right? Well the bright light is great, at least the one that’s located in the back. It cast a 180 Halo onto the ground and it’s super visible. However the light in the front that is super bright with the 180 Halo isn’t so great when it’s shining in my eyes and blinding me while I’m trying to run. It’s so bright that I had to immediately turn it off and can’t use it while running in the dark. I can only use the rear light so luckily each light has their own individual switch.
The fitment on this vest is decent but not excellent. I preferred the vest slightly loose when running. It’s very universal so it’ll fit a lot of sizes. I just slip it over my head and then run my arms through. It sits about mid chest height on me and I’m 5ft 10 in.
I noticed that when wearing this I had a lot more dogs barking at me so I can say that dogs probably see the light and vest.
PROS:
* Front and rear lights
* Individual switches for each light.
* Reflective
* Universally adjustable.
* Rechargeable
* Compact(about the size of a grapefruit when wadded up)
CONS:
* Front light is blinding in the dark.
* Fitment could be a little better.
Very good item and it works great. The luminosity is good and you will definitely be seen in the dark. The makers have done a good job and the price is good. It fits comfortable to which is what you need.
Great lightweight hi viz vest, with click in place fastening at the front, power switch on both front and back strip lights with 3 function, fast flash, slow flas and constant on. Comes with micro usb double charger to main usb so you can charge both sides at once. 19.99 is a good pricebfor a great bit of safety kit thatll make sure you are seen.
This is a fairly simple elasticated vest (if you can call it that) with neon glow lights at the front and back (operated separately). However, what it lacks in innovative design, it makes up for in the brightness of the lights – they are dazzling and no one is not going to spot you – great if using for cycling, running, walking in the dark. The adjustable straps make this comfy and fit really well. I like the fact that the lights are rechargeable with a USB cable – no need to purchase batteries.
What would make this a better product is if it had some sort of pouch for keys, change, credit card. Also would be good to have a torchlight on the front so you can see where you are going. However, as a stand-alone safety product, then it’s not bad at all. I’ll probably end up leaving mine in the car for emergencies or giving to one of the kids on fireworks night.
I have some experience with similar products to the LED Reflective light up vest. I had a reflective strap thing that went around the waist and had “suspenders”. These shoulder straps tend to fall off the shoulder even on a walk, much less a run, so I had given up on similar items.
I knew when I saw this item that it should work well because the shoulder straps connect to a central point on the “belt”. I tried it out this week in still-warm late summer temps and it works great. It’s light weight enough that it doesn’t create hot spots on the shoulder and doesn’t bounce around too much. And thankfully the shoulder straps don’t fall off either! I used it on a four-mile run and barely noticed it. I will add that I also use a water bottle belt that has a phone pocket, so I may be more tolerant than others to carrying “add-ons”.
Now let’s talk about the visibility. The reflective strips do a great job. I could tell that oncoming vehicles saw me from plenty of distance away because they moved over well ahead of me. I didn’t use the lights on this first run. The light-up function has a rechargeable battery and includes a double micro USB charge cable that takes one USB-A charging port. I tried that out and it works well also. The light itself is crazy bright! It has three modes: Fast blink, slow blink and solid. There are lights on the front AND back. I actually don’t think I’m going to be able to use the blinking on the front as it would be too distracting. However the toggle button is handy and this function could be easily turned on/off or changed during the run.
In short I’m ready for running in low light this winter thanks to the LED Reflective Vest Safety Gear, Light Up Vest. Highly recommended to my early running colleagues!
This thing is so easily seen at night that it is an entirely different league.
Not only that, but it fits a big huge guy like me who weighs over 230 lb and is over 6 ft tall.
Both of the lights in the front and the back charge separately and the seller provides you with a charging cable that allows you to charge both of them at once off of one charger. A very nice touch.
The lights have three patterns, a rapid flash, a slow flash and solid.
This came almost fully charged. Took about a half an hour to top it off.
Just got back from a nighttime walk with this thing on and I can’t tell you how much safer I feel on these rural roads. People can easily get distracted and something like this can truly save your life.
A very cheap investment that adds an entire new level of safety to night time walking
