Tracer360 – Illuminated Running Vest

Many people enjoy running or cycling at night, but with so many distracted drivers on our roads, it has become really dangerous to do so. Sadly, there are hundreds of accidents involving cyclists or runners all over the country and that is both the fault of drivers who are not cautious enough and also of the people who neglect using proper illumination, a reflective vest and in most of the cases can't even hear as they're headphones are on full volume.
 We should all keep in mind that our life is our responsibility in the first place and take the proper safety measures to be safe while running around the city at night. To help with this we will talk about the Tracer 360- Illuminated & Reflective vest, a simple yet ingenious product that will make you much more visible for drivers if you are on the road at night.

Furthermore, while researching this gadget we have also discovered that there are many other products designed to keep sports lovers safe at night, so we listed them for you at the end of the article.

 In most cases, a simple reflective vest can be enough to make yourself visible on the road, but this illuminated vest was designed with the help of visual science to make you stand out in the dark under any circumstances. It is pretty hard not to see a person glowing like a Christmas tree on the road right? 

 The luminescent tubes that wrap around your body provide multicolor illumination making you visible from every direction. On your back, you will wear the lightweight illuminated unit that powers the entire system and clips around your waist with the help of a reflective strap.  

 The entire safety vest is made of good quality lightweight materials at only 7.0oz. The unit that comes strapped on your back and illuminates the fiber optics going around your body has two buttons, one for power and the other one for changing the illumination modes. You can select between multiple flashing modes inspired by visual science or you can select individual solid colors, in each case the vest making you extremely visible for drivers.

 While running outside you can always be surprised by rain so the vest is rain and sweat proof. Also, healthy habits like running or cycling don't care about the season so the vest can be adjusted to fit any kind of clothing you are wearing. It will always stay tight and secure without bouncing. 

 One thing we didn't like about this illuminated vest is that it is powered by 3 AAA batteries so it is not rechargeable unless you buy 3 rechargeable batteries and charge them separately in a battery charger. But, to sweeten this little inconvenient, the vest will last up to 40 hours with a single set of batteries. In case you are using it for a night marathon as we saw that those are becoming more and more popular, you should consider having extra batteries not only for your vest but also for a headlamp that you might be using. 

 Overall, the Trace360 Illuminated Vest is a great device that will make your night runs a lot safer. Now let's take a look at the other products that will make sure you stay safe at night under any circumstances.
