best reflective vests running cycling men womenPin

The great outdoors were meant to be enjoyed and we wholeheartedly believe that. While there isn’t much that can go wrong if you are out for a jog or cycling, it is best to make sure that everything will be under control.

Those who exercise at night are at a higher risk, if they don’t have the right clothing and gear. The solution to this are reflective jackets or other similar options.

Several weeks ago, we wrote a piece on reflective jackets that will keep you safe while outdoors. In this selection, we will be looking at some reflective gear, which are a bit different.

These are vests, that we have selected this time, and the reason for that is simple. They won’t be an extra layer on and they will not affect mobility and comfort. They are unisex vests, specially designed for safety in dim light and especially at night.

Time to take a look at what we picked for you:
