Reflective Vest with Hi Vis Bands, Fully Adjustable & Multi-Purpose Reflective Running Gear, Reflective Straps for Night

At first I was worried about just how much these things could be adjusted. When they arrived, it looked like it would fit Paul Bunyan...that said, in just a few seconds I had it cinched up to fit me perfectly. I'm 5' 5", about 140 pounds (and lean), and they could easily be adjusted for a smaller person. It is quite comfortable when running, and stayed in place nicely for me (some commented that it did not, but I had no problems). I think they key is allowing the waist strap to sit high enough and not rest at the hips. To add, these things are super reflective. They look minimal, but when lights hit them they really light up, I took a night run almost immediately and cars could definitely see us from pretty far off! Something I really like about these is that they are not stiff or bulky, and as I tend to overheated (fairly quickly) when I run, these don't feel like I have an entire extra layer on. It's just enough to hug my clothes, comfortably. Loved getting the extra reflective bands too, they can be used on wrists, arms, ankles...I put them on my calves just below my knees.

My adult daughter is out and about everyday. Either walking on our tree lined, narrow streets. or riding her bike.As a driver I am always coming up to someone who is almost completely invisible until I am directly upon them; dark clothing, nothing reflective. SCARY for me as the driver. They dont think about the fact that they are walking in the tree shadows and cannot be seen. Or on a bike with no light or reflectors.So I got the vest for my daughter so I KNOW she will be seen while she is out. And YES it does work. Very visible. It is light weight, easy to adjust too.I WISH everyone wore this vest to protect themselves from being hit by a car. Seems like such a simple solution.

I use it when I ride my bike in the evening. These are very bright - I feel much safer than with only bike lights which I think can give a false sense of security. I picked x-large so that I can adjust it to fit over heavy clothing in the fall / winter. Even on a hot day, when I have the vest over a t-shirt it feels comfortable when I'm cycling. The ankle bands are great for keeping my pants out away from the chain.On one of the ankle wraps, the velcro started to come off - I had to sew it myself and hope it stays put.

As a heads up, this review applies to the Hi-Vis Vest, Leash & Dog Vest (all seen in photos). While all three were purchased and made from different sellers/manufacturers, they all work great and this review applies to all three.I go on late night walks every evening with our dog anywhere between 9:30-10 PM, when it is quite dark outside. I have been doing this for the past 2 months with only a head lamp and a (weak) flashing light on my back. I finally decided to be safe and purchase some hi-vis equipment to keep our dog and myself safe.On night one I immediately saw a difference with the small handful of cars that drive on our road. (Note: Our road is somewhat a country road that folks use as a pass-through/shortcut to the main road and typically fly down at 50 MPH) Being equipped with our hi-vis gear all cars have been slowing down at least 1/4-1/2 a mile away. I can see and hear the cars slowing down once their lights hit the hi-vis strips. Additionally, cars on the same side and myself and our dog have been moving over to the other side of the road well before they get near us. This never happened before I purchased all of these.All three of these are great and I recommend them to everyone looking to be safer and seen during the night.

I bought this to wear during the Hood to Coast Relay race, where you are required to have reflective gear on during certain hours. I'm a night runner in general, but I don't usually wear vests because I have strobe lights and a runner's flashlight and headlamp, so I'm pretty visible without it. Plus, I was always worried about vests falling off mid-run and me having to stop and adjust it or waste precious energy fidgeting to adjust it back to comfort. I wore this vest on a nighttime leg of Hood to Coast and not only did it stay put as it is highly adjustable, I barely remembered that I was even wearing it! It was not heavy, it didn't constrict me, and it didn't annoy me either. The wrist/arm bands were an added bonus. I live in DC where motorists seem to have trouble recognizing people trying to cross the street, so I like to make it as easy as possible for them without having to wear a street lamp and a fog horn and a huge yellow sign that screams I'M A PERSON CROSSING THE STREET SO YOU CAN WAIT 2 SECONDS AND LET ME WITHOUT KILLING ME PLEASE. Sorry, a little misplaced anger. I will definitely be using these as the fall and winter running months approach us.

Good price, and the material seems decent. Very reflective, and quick and easy to adjust. The reason I am giving it 3 stars is no matter how you adjust them, the shoulder straps will slide off your shoulders unless you just standing there. It may not happen immediately, but if your walking they will within a few minutes. Clipping the shoulder straps in front of your chest might be a work around.

The vest is very easy to put on and adjust. It fits a wide range of sizes, and isn't hot to wear! The best part is the wide reflective stripe. It reflects and shines with the smallest amount of light and is a great safety device to have on in any low-light conditions or times of day. The less light, the better it works. I'm so happy with this vest's quality of Craftsmanship, comfort, ease of use, functionality and value that I intend to purchase more of them in the near future!
