This is a nice late evening ‘hi-viz’ cover for runners and cyclists.
Positives: It’s size is kept to a minimum whilst still enabling all round reflective visibility. The minimal size makes it unobtrusive from a comfort perspective as well as a ‘not-getting-you-any-warmer’ perspective. It has a handy zip pocket for keys and the like.
Negatives: None really.
Comments: They’re certainly not cool and the kind of thing we’d make our kids wear but not wear ourselves. I guess it’s less cool to be run over and injured because someone has not seen you in your ‘cool’ black running gear. So we should really all think about safety this winter – hence the #fuyr and #seeandbeseen twitter campaigns.
This Nathan product is one of a series that I am going to review – they are GREAT XMAS stocking fillers (links below). I thought I was the runner that had everything. Nathan have just enlightened me!
Prices: UK £17.77 , US $11.63 .
Disclaimer: I was sent this as a freebie and I intend to keep and use it. This site focusses more on higher-end sport gadgets – I either buy or loan those from the supplier.
