Be Seen and Stay Alive With These Reflective High-Tech Running Jackets

It may sound a little harsh, but there are too many fatal accidents that occur each and every year that perhaps could have been avoided with a little more thought.  Running is a popular sport, and often runners are out on the roads at night or very early morning in times of poor visibility.  If runners could all ensure they wore reflective running jackets wherever possible, it would minimize the risk of not being seen and would enhance their safety immensely.  Below are ten of the best reflective jackets that are available on the market right now and could just save yours or a loved one’s life.  Take a look:


1 – Adidas Reflective Hoodie:  It’s black so will go with anything and still looks stylish, but when the sun goes down it becomes reflective along the right arm and the hood.  It’s good for those more chilly evenings, and ill cost a modest $55 to purchase.

2 – Mizuno Breath Thermo Zip Up:  It’s a little more expensive than the Adidas hoodie at $85, but there is a lot more to it.  Firstly it has reflective yarn woven into the chest and parts of the back that shine brightly when struck by streetlights or headlights.  Secondly, it has Mizuno’s Breath Thermo inner layer to keep you warmer in even the coldest of weather.

4 – North Face Rapido Moda Jacket:  Although it’s one of the more least expensive running jackets at just $110, this wind and water-resistant jacket is both stylish practical at the same time.  You have the backing of it being made by a quality brand and it’s finished in a reflective paint pattern that will make sure you are seen.

8 – UnderArmor ColdGear Infrared Reflective Runner:  We climb to the higher end of the scale when it comes to this jacket.  It may cost $250 but is well worth it.  It has total reflectivity and is made of water and wind resistant material that is happy to take on even the toughest of weathers.  ColdGear Infrared technology is also built into the jacket, which helps you retain your own body heat.

10 – TAO Illuminator Jacket:  At the very top of the scale sits the TAO illuminator Jacket.  This jacket features reflective patterning and high-performance LED lamps near the bottom of the jacket to not only make you seem but help light the way too.  It’s weather resistant and 100% waterproof, but then at $483 you would expect it to be, wouldn’t you?
