Pros:

Lightweight, Tough

Best Uses:

Emergencies, Fire Police Runs

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product was bought for my husband to use on Fire Police Runs when he is directing traffic so that he is more visible. He used them for 3 hours last night on a bad car accident. We like that they are LED so they'll last a long time.

Not visible enough.

Pros:

Comfortable, Compact, Lightweight

Best Uses:

Walking after dark

Describe Yourself:

Casual/ Recreational

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I wear this every evening when I walk after dark. Unfortunately, I often take it off with my coat and leave it on my sleeve and forget to turn it off. I have worn down the battery already! I'm not sure it is very visible when worn with a bulky down coat, which is what I wear on frigid nights. I think a reflective pinney worn over the chest might be a better choice.

use for safety but looks pretty cute

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Its great because you can be seen from far away. The led light is bright orange and works great so far. My only complaint is that the band does not go small enough for small arms. In the winter it is okay because I wear more bulky clothing, but in the summer on my bare arm, I will have to do something to it to make it fit.

How great is this!!
