> 3 dayThere is no comparison between using this illuminated vest versus simply reflective clothing. Have worn on several occasions and the behavior of passing cars is notably different. They clearly see me earlier and make a better effort to make space on the road. There are cheaper versions of this, but I noticed that some of them only illuminate some central LEDs in the middle of the vest. This item has 4 illuminated flexible tubes that wrap over the shoulders and around the waist. Make sure you order a big enough size. Im about 6ft 250 and find that the XL is a touch snug when layered over a winter vest. Well worth the money!

> 3 dayThis is well designed and I would buy it again. It is pretty adjustable and lighter-weight than it appears. With a few different adjustment options (on the yellow elastic as well as adjustments on the plastic light tubes, its pretty easy to dial in a fit that doesnt bounce. I found it surprisingly unobtrusive. I was pleasantly surprised that it uses the modern USB-C plug type for recharge. Battery life seems solid.

> 3 dayI bought this to walk our dog at night. I have received multiple inquiries and compliments about this. It’s easy to put on and charges pretty fast. Not sure how long each charge lasts but so far, it has been great.

> 3 dayMy husband likes to ride his bike early in the morning before dawn. I bought him this, thinking it would probably end up in the closet. Cyclists dont like ANY extra weight. When he finally tried it, he was surprisingly pleased. He says he hardly feels like it is on, and the various light patterns are great. The battery lasts pretty long, too. The most important thing is, he wears it!

> 3 dayI worn this for several early morning dog walks and believe it has improved my visibility to cars 100%. I haven’t had a near miss with a vehicle since I’ve been wearing this. Also, it’s so lightweight and comfortable to wear.

> 3 dayWe got three of these (S/M/XL) for use on our regular bike rides, and they are incredible. First of all, they are super lightweight and we dont even notice were wearing them (from a comfort perspective, you can obviously see them glowing/blinking/flashing). The sizes work great, our ten year old wears the small, my wife wears the M/L, and I wear the XL. Note that Im not small (64 and 300+ lbs) so the XL really can fit an XL person. The lighted loops are very long and go over the shoulders, and the belt is stretchy allowing it to fit a lot of different shapes and sizes. The only slight negative is that by design the main control unit is mounted on ones back, making it a bit of a chore to turn on/off or change the color/pattern by pressing the button, however this can be worked around by either a) getting it set correctly before turning it on, b) having someone else do the pressing for your, or c) reeeaaaacchhing way around and pressing it yourself. Were all flexible enough to reach it ourselves, but its a bit of a contortion and hard to precisely hit the small button. We would appreciate having the controls in the front, but its not enough of an issue to take away any stars given this products otherwise stellar performance. Highly recommended.

Greater than one weekI bought this when a driver slowed down on one of my early morning runs and said they couldnt see me well from behind. That should no longer be a problem! The thing with running gear for me is, if its distracting at all, its not really doing its job. The vest is lightweight, doesnt bounce, and fits securely with no adjustment needed on the run. I dont even notice it. Tip on the sizing: Im 58 with a 37 chest, typically wear a mens small t-shirt. I fell between the S and M/L size vests. Ordered both and the S is a much better fit with less out of the box adjustment needed and less tubing slack to manage.

> 3 day3 Jan 2018 update after almost 1 full year of use, 1023 miles logged: Still 5-STARS, the vest continues to operate as advertised. Its been through several rain storms and extreme cold for (Central Florida). I have replaced the batteries 3 times in one year. After every run I have rinsed it off being careful not to get battery compartment wet. I still get questions from other runners and cars passing by. Once again if you want to seen at night and early mornings get this vest. My review after 4 predawn runs totaling 30 miles about 10 of those miles in the street no sidewalk available. The Tracer360 is light weight and bright after the first few steps I forgot I was wearing it. Im 63, 215 pounds and ordered the XL, after adjusting the straps and tubes I still found there was a little bounce in the lighted tubes so I crossed them over my head to form an X this took some additional slack out and there was no more bounce in the tubes or the battery pack, this also eliminated the possibility of the tubes sliding off my shoulders as I ran. I wear a chest heart rate monitor when Im running and found the included reflective belt on the Tracer360 did not interfere with it at all. The belt rested just below the heart rate strap and never moved. The purpose of this product is to illuminate your person at night and it does that with flying colors (pun intended). I used one of the many flashing modes on each run, not only did every approaching vehicle move over before they even got close to me, they all actually slowed down, some of them to a crawl trying to figure out what the hell was approaching them, this even happened several times while I was running on the sidewalk with 10 to 20 feet between road and sidewalk. If you are wearing the Tracer360 you be seen!!!
