I saw other runners wearing headlamps but I wanted an alternative so thought I would try this. I thought it might be heavy but its very lightweight and hardly feel it. It fits well and is adjustable. The light is at the front and you can set it to a steady light or flashing. Charges up via USB and comes with its own cable. Tested it on a run and happy with purchase and feel a bit safer running at night knowing cars will hopefully see me.
During evening runs, this vest has provided outstanding visibility. It’s light and doesn’t restrict movement, which is crucial for comfort. The adjustable straps mean it fits over any outfit, and the LED lights are impressively bright. The USB-C rechargeability is convenient, saving on the cost of batteries. It’s a practical piece of gear for anyone out in the dark, providing visibility from a significant distance.
As Winter approaches and it gets darker outside, I thought I would try this product out, to see if it offered me with increased visibility and brightness when walking or excercising outside.
So far, I have been impressed with this product. The lights fitted are bright and offer good visibility, alongside the reflective material seeming to be good quality. Additionally, it is nice that the lights here last for a long time without charging, and when you do need to, can be connected via USB C, which is good to see.
Additionally, at 15.99 (at the time of review), I feel this product is priced pretty fairly, and offers good value for money overall. Therefore I can certainly recommend this product to anyone, looking to stay visible and safe outside!
Note: I use this harness when I walk my dog at night and to run at night; I also keep it in the car as it is a better solution than a visi-vest at night.
What I like:
– Easy to adjust and fit.
– Light and does not impede movements.
– Front and back LEDs, controlled separately.
– Powerful front LEDs to light the path ahead.
– Multiple light settings.
– Easy and quick to charge.
– Keeps its charge as expected.
– Reflective material for added visibility.
– The reflective arm bands.
– Light weight.
What I miss:
– Much tighter rubber closures for the battery ports, to ensure that no water can get into them.
– A pocket on the harness (at least for my house or car keys), because some of my running gear doesn’t always have pockets.
– A solution to change the batteries in case they malfunction (if it exists, I have missed it).
What I wonder:
– I haven’t tried it in the rain and wonder if it is waterproof, including the charging ports.
– The plastic clips feel OK, but are they sturdy enough.
Pros:
1- This is an excellent high-visibility (Hi-Vis) belt. One of its best features is the adjustable size, which is easy to modify and very flexible. I usually wear XL shirts and have a waist size over 42 inches. This belt fit me without any issues and even had additional room. It also comfortably fitted my wife, who wears a way smaller size.
2- The Hi-Vis part is truly visible. There is no doubt that you will be seen in dark environments. I tested myself by pointing a flashlight at it. It was very clear. Therefore, this belt is ideal for running, cycling, hiking, or even dog walking. You can also keep it in your car for safety purposes.
3- The armbands are a good addition. If you prefer not to wear the belt/ vest, the armband is an excellent alternative. Personally, I’ve stored one of the armbands in my car, just in case.
Cons:
1- I was not impressed with the LED lights. They are small and their brightness level is somewhat weak. I would have preferred a single, larger LED with higher brightness that could be used as a flashlight or for similar purposes. This would be a better option in addition to the smaller LED lights. I would not recommend relying only on these small LED lights in very dark or foggy conditions. However, the back red LED lights are okay since they are meant to serve as warning lights rather than for illumination.
As the nights draw in it is essential for any runner to be clearly seen at night. It’s so easy to become invisible running on night roads. This solves that problem by not only providing the standard 3M retroreflective stripes but also having front and rear LED lights built in that can either be on solid or flashing. This is easily visible 1/2 a mile if not more away. They recharge via a USB C socket, one each for front and back but a full charge will easily last a good few hours which is sufficient for even the most dedicated long distance runner at night. The final point is the adjustability – this is really well adjustable; it goes from fitting my 13 year old son to fitting myself (significantly larger) in a second of adjustment. Certainly with both front and back built in lights it is worth the price.
I got this for my husband to wear, especially now as the nights and mornings are a lot darker, making this a safety essential to have him wear. The amazing thing about this running vest is that not only is it lightweight and surprisingly comfortable to wear, but this also provides 360 visibility.
The quality of this is alright, and you are able to recharge the batteries nice and easily. You do have to charge the back and front light separately, but they do make sure they provide two chargers for this need and allowing you to charge them both at the same time.
The vest is adjustable, for a better and comfortable fit.
This vest is absolutely lovely for night time activities such as running, cycling maybe even for motorcyclists. It has reflective elements combined with LED lights (front and back) which will increase your visibility at night.
The vest has buckles on the sides to easily put it on. The straps can also be easily adjusted as needed.
The charging cable provided is split in two type-c connectors to charge bot LED of the vest, which is a clever feature.
I did notice some wobble noise from the LED compartment but I believe it wont be disturbing or even noticeable while doing an activity.
To be noted that there are no pockets to store anything on the vest.
Reflective running belt in luminous pink, making it easy to be seen in the dark on those winter nights. Lights at the front and back keeping you safe on your job. Easy to put on and take off, comfortable to wear with no chaffing.
With it being quite dark in the mornings, I was thrilled to be able to review this. I wear this on my early morning bike rides and it’s a great bit of kit. There are 2 sets of lights (white on the front and red on the back) and these are independently charged and controlled. Each side has a usb-c connector to charge the lights. The usb-c connectors are protected with a rubber cap. It’s a shame that you effectively need to charge the vest twice, but it does give you the option to just charge the rear lights since those are most likely to be used.
The light can be cycled through 3 modes: flashing, slow flashing and permanently on. The button to turn them on needs a good push so there’s little chance of these being accidently turned on/off. The straps are reflective too, ensuring you will be seen with this on. It’s easy to put on and has loops to adjust the height over the shoulders as well as adjust around the waist. I wear this over a bag and it sits fine. Battery life is 7 hours when constantly turned on, which is acceptable. And it’s reflective enough even when the batteries give out.
I think all cyclists should wear something like this. It’s easy to pack away in a bag for emergencies and very light. Excellent bit of essential kit.
Now I have to admit , I am not really a runner . but my wife is so she tested this for me the last few evenings on her nightly run.
We live in quite a rural area with not many footpaths , so running on the edge of the road now that the nights are drawing in can be dangerous.
She is very impressed with this , it is light to wear and she has definitely noticed cars giving her a wider berth than normal as they can see her so much better , for that reason , I would highly recommend this item
I hope you have found my review helpful
I’m really impressed with this vest. I opted for the fluorescent pink colour which adds vibrant and ensures visibility. It has reflective material 360 degrees around the vest, which makes it very easy to be seen from all angles.
The standout feature of this vest is the lights which are fitted to the front and back of the vest. They are designed to make you stand out in low light conditions, making you visible to other pedestrians whilst out running. The lights at the front emit a bright white light, while the lights on the rear are red. There are three modes for the lights; quick flashing, slow flashing and steady. These different modes allow you to adjust the light to the conditions; especially useful if running or cycling along roads.
The lights are charged via a USB C charging cable, which is included. A charge lasts approximately 7-10 hours. I was pleased to find that these lights already had some charge when the vest arrived, meaning we didn’t have to wait for a charge before using the vest.
The straps are made of a stretchy material which is adjustable around the waist and shoulders, providing a more comfortable fit. I found the stitching on the vest to be good and the materials used seem to be of good quality too.
The instructions were clear, and guidance was included on how to fit the vest correctly.
This vest is a great; it exceeded my expectations with its striking colour and impressive visibility features. I think this is a comfortable and safe choice for runners, cyclists, dog walkers, or anyone who ventures outside and wants to be seen at night time.
Took this out for a 5 mile run and have nothing bad to say about it. Stayed put the whole time, no annoying flapping around or straps coming down, easy to switch the lights on front and back without breaking my stride, and looked great.
I often struggle with ‘one-size-fits-all’ products as they rarely fit me, I am 5’2″, weigh 7.5 stone and can wear age 12 jeans, so was super impressed that the straps on this did, in fact, adjust right down even for me. My husband, who is 6’2″ and 13 stone tried it on and it adjusted easily to fit him too.
So great fit, great quality, recommended!
Really handy for safety when running – quick to put on, good adjustability of the lights and most importantly makes you be seen without dazzling anyone. Seems to be quite robust so far. Simply packaged but fair value for money. Recommend.
360 High Visibility:
The standout feature of this vest is its 360 high visibility design. The embedded LED lights create a bright and noticeable glow, ensuring that I’m visible from all angles. This is crucial for safety during early morning runs when natural light is scarce.
Adjustable for Perfect Fit:
The vest comes with adjustable straps for both the waist and shoulders, allowing for a customized and snug fit. This ensures that the vest stays securely in place during my runs, providing comfort and peace of mind.
USB-C Rechargeable:
One of the standout features is the USB-C rechargeable capability. Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly replacing batteries. A simple recharge is all it takes to keep the LED lights shining bright, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
Versatile for Various Activities:
While perfect for running, this reflective vest proves versatile for various activities. Whether I’m jogging, walking the dog, or cycling, the vest adapts seamlessly to different forms of exercise. Its flexibility adds to its overall value.
Lightweight and Comfortable:
The lightweight design of the vest ensures that it doesn’t add unnecessary bulk to my running gear. It feels comfortable to wear, allowing me to focus on my run rather than feeling weighed down.
Durable Build:
Constructed with durability in mind, the LuTuo LED Reflective Vest withstands the rigors of regular use. The materials are resilient and can handle various weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for year-round use.
Enhanced Safety for Early Mornings:
As the days get shorter, early morning runners face reduced visibility. This vest significantly enhances my safety by making me easily visible to drivers and other pedestrians. It adds an extra layer of confidence to my runs.
This is a lightweight, comfortable chest light.
It is fairly reflective & the front & back lights are bright enough to be seen. They both have 3 different light settings. Fast flash, slow falsh & on.
The front lights aren’t bright enough to light your way but you will be seen.
You do have to charge both the front & back light separately & they do provide 2 a cable that splits in 2 for this.
WOW!
Fabulous on so many levels – for walking, running, cycling, taking the dog for a walk, I really do like this!
There are white LED’s on the front and red at the back and both create a decent amount of light. Unlike waiting for light to hit a retro reflective item, this gives the approaching vehicle or person the ability to see you before they may have done.
There is also retro reflective strip on all areas of the wearable itself, along with 2 separate arm or leg bands, which are retro reflective too.
The lights can be static, fast flash or slow flash, and charge with an included C type split charger, meaning both can charge from one USB at the same time. The covers of the charging ports are at the bottom of the light area, and have a lovely cover to protect them too.
The item is fully adjustable, and clips at the front on both sides to cease the over the head struggle I have had with other vest units like this, most undignified at the best of times. It does not state that it is washable, and I would suspect not, but equally, if it gets dirty, just wipe that part clean.
I think this is an absolutely fabulous unit, and I would also use this in place of a standard Hi Viz that I keep in the car in case of breakdown too.
Be safe, be seen, and you will definitely be seen a lot sooner in this.
I didn’t expect how effective this vest would be when I ordered it. In the box when I ordered it came the running vest with a manual and a charge cable. The vest LED’S are rechargeable with USB sockets in the bottom of both front and rear LED’S they both have covers to protect from dirt ingress.
The vest has lots of adjustment, it’s very comfortable to wear also. I was able to get it to the right tightness for me, it did take a while to get it just right. The lights have a few different settings to be selected from depending on what you want. They are very bright, will not be missed at night, the reflective material also works very well.
See my video for a demo on the light settings and the brightness. It feels well made along with a good instruction booklet.
It stopped working after one day… I charged it overnight and now the front lights will only work when plugged in to the USB charging cable. Maybe the battery or button is defective? However, the supplier was excellent and immediately sent a replacement.
Assuming that this was just a bad one then let’s have a look at it. My first thoughts are that the light sections seem a bit thin and flimsy, but I think that is just the waterproof covering, the back side of the sections is made of the same strong, stretchy material as the straps.
The straps are strong and very stretchy, and highly reflective. They have adjusting buckles so that one size fits all. I am not huge but do have a bit of a belly; at maximum this fits me okay but wouldn’t go any bigger. I guess fat people aren’t likely to be out jogging or cycling though! It fits my ten-year-old boy when adjusted down.
The LEDS are very bright and have fast flash/slow flash/on solid settings. Red on the back and white on the front.
It comes with a “Y” charging cable (USB A male to two USB C males) and two unidentified fluorescent bands! I thought they were shin or wrist bands but the velcro sections won’t meet on something that small. So, I think they are for the top part of your arm. Wrist or shin bands would perhaps have been more useful.
The whole thing seems well stitched and sturdy and I think it does the job.
Originally got this for running when it gets darker but have fused it for cycling too.
There are lights along the front and back with 3 modes each, with flashing and constant. Each set is controlled separately so you could have the back red lights on and keep the front off, or front on constant and back flashing.
The straps are very easy to adjust and allow the light vest to fit an adult or child. Once adjust there are 2 clips at the front making putting it on or taking it off quick and easy.
It came with 2 arm straps. These don’t have lights, but are made from the same hi-viz material with reflective strip. I stick these on my arms when cycling to make turn signals more visible at night.
The vest is relatively light so is mostly not noticeable while running, and certainly not riding. It takes a bit of practice to get the belt strap right as too tight and it made me feel uncomfortable. Too loose and it flapped around too much.
Overall a nice vest to make you more visible when out and about in the dark.
