A Running Christmas Tree!, October 14, 2010
This review is from: MAXSA Innovations 20026 Yellow Reflective Safety Vest with 16 LED Light (Automotive)
I bought this vest to be seen while running in the dark, early morning hours here in the PacNW. When I first put it on and turned on the lights, my 5 year-old exclaimed with all the innocent admiration of a 5 year-old, "Mom! You look like a Christmas Tree!" This vest is so bright, it lights up the reflective street signs ahead of me. I figure if I get hit while wearing this vest, the driver meant to hit me, and my family can sue big time. I hope that it might also frighten away any of the larger wildlife that are resident in the area. On the down side, it is a little stiff, and for my small frame (size 6) a little large, even with everything in as snug as it can go. I had to sew the overlap at the sides in place so it would stay without flapping around. It took a couple of runs to get used to wearing it, but now it doesn't bother me. Anyway, it does the job very well--worth the money I spent, and I don't feel nervous about getting hit along the dark, rural roadways I run along.

Good for Night Runners....., February 1, 2010
This review is from: MAXSA Innovations 20026 Yellow Reflective Safety Vest with 16 LED Light (Automotive)
I bought this vest because I like to run and I tend to do so after dark. Not only is it effective in letting drivers know where you are, it alse serves are a decent lantern if it is completely dark and you need to see where you're going so you don't twist an ankle.
The only issue I have with it is that it is a little bulky if you have a smaller frame. Also, while it is light weight, it's not weightless. It won't slow you down but it does take some getting used to if you are used to running unhindered.
Having such effective reflective gear is worth any damper this would put on your workout. Also, you can use it while Trick-or-Treating with the kids if they'll be seen with you. Your coolness level will take a serious dip when you are running around with the dorky flashing reflector vest, but hey, are you try to get a workout or be a fashion plate? Get over it and get on the road!

Wonderful for Biking at night, April 22, 2010
This review is from: MAXSA Innovations 20026 Yellow Reflective Safety Vest with 16 LED Light (Automotive)
I ride my bike early in the morning to catch a bus to get to work. There is one stretch of road that has no bike lanes, and no lights. Before wearing this vest the cars would go around me like they do in daylight. After putting on the vest, the cars started going clear across the white line to clear me.
There is no way the drivers can miss you.
