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

this is a joke! I bought a NoXGear LED harness for my dog and was very impressed with it so I decided to buy it for myself. I'm shocked that this is cheap junk. The thing fell apart after a few uses. It's like a child's toy. It's a single electroluminescent wire connected to a plastic regulator made out of the cheapest plastic imaginable. It doesn't even have a battery. It's all held together by a large rubber band with a cheap plastic clasp. I don't know where they got $50 for this thing. I'll

Bought this vest after missing the friends it bought for the Badwater 135 last year. Finally dropped the hammer and ordered. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. You are super visible and I feel a lot more relaxed on my evening and late night road runs. You can easily change and flash colors when you are in high traffic areas. Although the blinking is a bit confusing if it's too long. It fits well alone or over a light running jacket, and you can expand the chest with a strap to carry the…

After seeing an ad for this product on Facebook and my wife repeatedly reminding me to wear some sort of safety gear for night running, I decided to give it a try. Love that it's lightweight, easy to adjust, and VERY visible. The light button is also easy to reach while wearing. So if you need to turn them off or choose from a variety of color options (including flashing light options), it's easily done in a snap. The chest strap closes securely and I don't see any durability issues with it…

I only wore the vest to run. I run mostly after work and mostly after dark in the suburbs with lots of cars. I was driving through my neighborhood one night when a runner surprised me, which got me thinking about safety measures for myself. With all the good reviews, I decided to buy the Tracer360. I'm 5'5 120lbs and went with a small. It fits perfectly with plenty of room for adjustment. The vest is very light. I have no doubt cars caught my eye the first time. I've seen cars almost stop when…

It's nice that several companies are trying to make something like this, but they still need a lot of improvement before it can be called a great product . Here's my feedback as a former runner still trying to run as fast as possible after 60-mile weeks and limited training: It's not ideal to place the belt near the diaphragm where it's just uncomfortable, and it also interferes with any heart monitor strap you might be - this causes shirts and jackets to ride up a little which causes chafing -

Before writing this review I wanted to take a step back. If you run at night or at dusk, get this product. Period. End of the story. I do 100% of my weekday runs in the dark. Late autumn, winter and early spring. I don't want to wear a headlamp. I don't want to wear a headlight clip. Or a variety of other visibility products. And I don't think reflective clothing will be enough to warn motorists that someone is walking off their road. This product does everything it's supposed to. And it has a…

I'm running at 5 am and outside of my area the streets are pitch black. Despite the lights in my area, I was hit by a car coming out of an alley last week. I remembered how a friend of mine got a Tracer 360 as a gift, I asked her about her experience with the product and bought the device on her recommendation. Putting on the vest is easy. Elasticated reflective chest strap keeps all other components in place. The lighted hose is fastened at the back and has adjustable anchor knobs on the…

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…

I bought this vest to wear with LightHound dog harnesses. The price was the same as the seat belts ($59.99), which I felt was a bit high considering the construction feels flimsy. One of the plastic cables transmitting the LED light broke within 6 months, affecting the usability of the product. I like the low profile and lightweight design; However, it is not rechargeable and requires several AAA batteries. That means it can last longer when it's low, but stay red (low battery indicator) for a…
