noxgear Tracer2 - Multicolor Illuminated, Reflective Vest for Running or Cycling (Rechargeable, Waterproof)

Love it. Works perfect

I feel much safer walking and running in the evenings with the Tracer 360. I am 5 feet, 118 lbs, and wear a size 4 shirt, and the small fits me okay with a modification. I like to wear the belt snug on my chest., tucked right under The Girls. Initially, the tube on the lower right side kind of stuck out and grazed my right elbows, but I modified it by tying a rubber band in the back, about 3-4 inches below the on-off switch, to fasten the two tubes together. This holds the tubes closer to my body so they dont keep whacking my arms. Ive only had it a few weeks, but it feels like the construction is sturdy. It certainly is bright! I have noticed that cars slow down and steer well clear of me on out suburban streets! Other walkers and runners have asked where they can get one. I do find the flashing patterns a little distracting, so I use the solid colors, which do not bother me. When I run, the weight of the unit on the back initially bothers me, but I stop noticing it after awhile, and I think a little discomfort is well worth the safety trade off. However, I have not yet worn it on a run longer than 4 miles since I am currently recovering from an injury. I am curious to see how I will feel after 10 miles. If it bothers me on longer runs, I will update my review to reflect that. But again, I think the safety it provides is well worth a little discomfort. I know there are cheaper versions out there. Is it worth it to have all the different colors and flashing patterns? For me, I think so. In well-lit, low traffic residential areas, I use a solid, milder color, like blue or green. In areas that are darker but have fast-moving traffic, I will use the flashiest of the flash patterns, which I find too distracting to use all the time. I also like to use the flash patterns or more unusual colors (like pink) when there are competing lights from buildings, signs, cars, etc. So I like having the options for different environments. But if you run in the same kind of conditions all the time, then you may be able to get away with a cheaper competitive brand. Final note: my Asian-American mother -- who *ALWAYS* thinks I have paid too much for anything I purchase unless it is on 80% off clearance and *then* haggled to get another 5% off -- thinks that the Tracer360 is money well spent, and now wants me to buy one for her. And thats pretty much the highest praise I can give any product.

We 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.

3 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!!!

This is a great product that works very well for a avid runner like me. i use it every day during the winter and it takes a long time to break. My only complaint is with AMAZON I ordered an XL and they sent a m/l and you cant get ahold of anyone to help you Now i have to order another and return their mistake SO UNFAIR

I 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.

I decided to buy the vest and dog harness because I ride a bike and walk in the early morning and evening and it’s dark. I absolutely love it! It’s very lightweight and the charge last a long time. If you can’t see us you are blind. Anything you can do to make yourself visible can keep you safe. I have received so many complaints from people on how cool we look. The love the matching harness! I also ended buying the light and the Bluetooth speaker. Also the customer service is great I had a question on the vest and left a message on the weekend and got a call first thing Monday morning. I highly recommend all the products.

Everything about this is great, had zero bounce and definitely kept me visible. Based on the size chart I was on the very top of the small size or mid range on the M/L with a 36” chest measurement. I chose the M/L but wish I would have went with the small. The only thing that will take some getting used to is it is so bright it is hard to tell if a car is behind you or if it’s just the vest.

This 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.

I bought this for my daughter who walks to work in the dark. It’s lightweight, bright and comfortable. It was with the price, in my mind.
