Running Lights - Lumefit Premium 360° Reflective Vest Review

Dark/Light Mode (29/07/23)  Weighing just 125 grams, the Lumefit Premium 360° Reflective Vest is not only perfect for those who love to run and cycle when it is dark, but it is also extremely easy to pack and makes so little difference to the weight of one's luggage that it is insignificant.

Made of two plastic tubes connected to a central battery which can be recharged with a micro-USB cable, the vest, which also has reflective elements on the back and front, is easy to put on and will fit most people, even if you wear extra clothes such as a winter coat, as the front closure can slide up and down the tubes.

The vest has three light modes: constant, pulsing and flashing. However, as the light produced is extremely bright, I only ever use the constant mode as I am concerned that such a bright flashing light could cause others some discomfort if they were to see me in the pitch dark.

While Lumefit claims that the battery will last up to 10 hours on a full charge, I have personally found it to last 5 hours when used on the constant light mode, certainly more than enough for most people's early morning or late-night workouts. I recharge it after every workout, so I never have to worry if there is enough battery power.

While the light the vest produces is extremely bright, it is not sufficient to show you potholes or debris on the ground etc. The light is designed to ensure that you can be seen from any angle, and it does that perfectly.

It would be nice if the company added a way to adjust the brightness level, and even turn off sections of light - particularly the tubing between the chest and shoulders, but that would most likely increase the price and would be something else that could eventually fail.

If you are looking for a reflective vest that does not require an external light source to work, then you will be hard pressed to find one as light, please forgive the pun, and efficient as this one from Lumefit.

I have been using the vest for around 3 months on my almost daily 15.4km workout, including in the rain, and have not had any problems with it at all.

Disclaimer: This is not in any way a paid review or advertorial, the vest was purchased directly from an online retailer.
