Glowear 8210HL Class 2 Economy Vest, Lime, L/XL

 (14 customer reviews)

As a person who commutes to and from work on bike, and returns in the nighttime, this vest is a great safety precaution at a very reasonable price. I especially like it because it is so light and takes up hardly any room when folded, and because of it's loose design, it fits over any garment I wear, light or heavy. The vest is best seen at night (though I highly recommend the use of front and rear lights when riding at night), but one is also highly visible when wearing the vest on overcast days and in the rain.

Must work pretty well because the first night I wore it to walk the dog, an elderly couple (older than I) driving by stopped and thanked me for wearing it! They said it's frightening for them to drive around at night because they can't see dog walkers, joggers, etc. well, especially on overcast nights, but they could sure see me CLEARLY FROM AFAR! They said it was more reflective than any other vest they had seen. Since then, others have done the same. It seemed that others steered clear of us, too, whereas in the past, WE frequently had to jump out of the way, even though we always carried a moving flashlight and wore light-colored clothing. Seems to be very sturdy. Velcro is large, firmly attached and works well. L/XL size fits well over our northern heavy, bulky winter coats and clothing. Mesh fabric is somewhat stretchy/flexible, so is comfortable and improves fit. So light, you hardly know it's on. Great product; bought another for spouse! Will buy again.

Not much to say. It works, it's good quality, and it's cheap. I use it for walking the dog on a windy dark road at night.
