Kit: Be seen, be safe - best high visibility buys

November 14, 2024

If you run in the early morning or evening then it’s essential that you wear something bright or reflective to help other road and pavement users see you, in fact many running groups will not allow you to join in unless you are dressed appropriately.

With so many products on the market now, it’s not hard to find something that works for you. White or high-visibility yellow, pink and orange work really well for all-round visibility, or you could opt for items with reflective detailing that light up in car or street lights. Stay safe and be seen!
