Review on noxgear Tracer360 - Multicolor Illuminated, Reflective Vest for Running or Cycling (Weatherproof): Stay Safe and Visible During Your Outdoor Activities. by Ryan Hampton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you need to be seen at night, buy this product now!

Update Jan 3, 2018 after almost 1 year of use, 1023 miles: still 5 stars, vest continues to work as advertised. It has survived several rainstorms and extreme cold (central Florida). Batteries were changed 3 times a year. After every start I flushed it, trying not to wet the battery compartment. I still get questions from other runners and passing cars. Again, if you want night and early morning vision, get this vest. My recap after 4 pre-dawn runs for a total of 30 miles, of which about 10 miles were on unpaved road. The Tracer360 is light and bright: after the first few steps I forgot I was wearing it. I'm 6'3" 215 lbs and ordered an XL, after adjusting the straps and hoses I still found that the lighted hoses still bounced a bit so I crossed them over my head to make the order forming an X required a little extra slack, and there were no more cracks in the tubes or battery pack, it also eliminated the possibility of the tubes slipping off my shoulders while running.I wear a chest heart rate monitor while running and found that the included reflective belt of the Tracer360 didn't bother at all. The belt sat right under the heart rate strap and never moved. The purpose of this product is to illuminate your face at night and it does it brilliantly (pun intended). Every time , when I started I used one of the many flashing modes, not only did each approaching car move before it even got near me, they all actually slowed down, some of them were scrambling around trying to figure out what the heck was coming at them , It even happened a few times when I was running 10-20 feet between the road and the sidewalk on the side of the Ewalk. If you wear Tracer360 you will be seen!
