Thanks for the actual running footages and the side-by-side. Those help a lot more than just reading Amazon reviews.

These are great additions for night running. As runners, we still need to be aware and alert at all times. My first time running with a Nox Gear vest, I was still almost run over at a crosswalk by a driver who didn't stop. Can't be complacent.

I have the vest with the LED and chest lamp for when I ride my scooter at night...I don't care if i look like a Tron reject...I'mma make it home!

December 21st which means from December 22nd we are back to daylight hours increasing! YAY!!!! Brilliant video again.

I run 3 miles every morning at 6am, super dark. I bought a reflector vest at Amazon and I feel so much more comfortable.

Well done video - like the car perspective which illustrates well the differences in visibility.
BTW: Once lived in Ireland where motorcyclists have to wear hi-vis vests...ever since, I use such a yellow ‘emergency’-vest for passive visibility when running or cycling in the dark. Very cheap, easy to get & SUPER visible to car drivers!

I'm 6'1 220lbs and shocked that people can't see me when I run at 5am. Got 2 Nathan blinkers to help out and wear a reflective jacket. Great video and love the intro

Great video. I got a multiple day run coming up. 95% of the run is in a busy street with poor lighting. Your video running up and down the street with the gear on was a eye opener on the lighting I'll need. Thanks

Your channel has tons of great videos, thanks for all the hard work! Also side note, it's interesting to see how different our lives can be. I live in Taiwan which is like one of the most tropical places on earth. Never less than 10 degree celcius, often more than 30, day and night is always about 12 hours each. As a runner life is really easy here in comparison (but we got lots of mountains though 😊)

Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year - is December 21st. Love the video!

[Wigglythegreat]

Thanks, I enjoyed the video. I always use a waist light and headlamp together as it gives you a better chance at seeing all the detail on the trail as well as making sure I can be seen. I have two Zebralights that are about 1, 000 lumens each for the job. I also like reflective clothing too. I only choose warm color lights as it lights a more natural, less harsh, color to the path. I also almost always bring a bright thrower hand torch just in case I need to light up something at distance or get someone's attention.

Great video! Thanks for the effort to do this.

Im training for a marathon and this video was perfect in terms of allowing me to pick night gear but know the pros and cons... thanks

[mlegrand]

Love the intro. Thanks for the details on night running gear! I might have picked up some gear like this for Christmas gifts recently. (Doubt my wife will see this comment 😬)

[harrymiram]

A few weeks back, combined Noxgear Tracer vest w/ArmyTek Wizard C2 @4000 lumens headlamp, for when I go out biking....WORKS 4ME!

[kofuzi]

I've definitely been under-doing it in this category

[calvinblackrosejr]

I have a high visibility performance material work shirt that I got from Walmart. It’s dickies brand and has giant reflective strips running across it. I also got some reflective mailbox tape and stuck some to my shoes for added effect

[williamlackey]

Training for my first marathon and doing some evening runs throughout the week. Don’t really wanna wear high viz stuff but I also don’t want to get hit by a car.

[fabriglas]

neighbours must love you! I use a Airsoft pouch for my keys phone and spare battery, with a flouro belt with a single clasp at the front. I would love to combine the two itrems together but it works for now!
