\n\nRunning before the sun rises or after it sets may be the only time you can get a couple miles in — as a long distance runner myself, believe me, I’ve been there. Especially during the fall and winter when daylight hours are short, that means it’s very dark outside, increasing your risk of not being seen by drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. One of the best ways to stay safe when you head outside is to wear reflective running gear. It increases your visibility from up close and far away, and when you add other accessories like LED lights, it helps you see the path ahead better, too.
\n\nBelow, I talked to three experts about all the different types of reflective running gear and how to pick the best options for you. They also shared other safety tips for running in low light and total darkness, and broke down the important differences between reflective and fluorescent running gear.
