As someone who loves early morning runs with my dog, this LED vest has been a game-changer. The first time I wore it on our 5AM jog, I immediately noticed cars slowing down earlier when approaching us - something that never happened with just reflective gear.
The dual LED lights are brilliant (literally!). I keep the back light on fast flash mode like cyclists do, and the front steady. It's crazy visible even from blocks away. What surprised me is how lightweight it feels - barely notice I'm wearing it over my winter jacket.
Charging is stupid simple. Just yank out the LED modules (took me one slightly frustrating minute to figure out the tight pockets), plug into any USB port, and you're golden. Two weeks of daily use before needing a recharge? Yes please!
During last week's foggy morning, a truck driver actually rolled down his window to compliment how visible we were. That moment alone made this $25 vest worth every penny. My only gripe? The tiny charging indicator light - I have to squint like I'm reading fine print.
Whether you're walking the dog at dusk or biking home from work, this vest makes you impossible to miss. It's become as essential as my running shoes for any low-light outing.
