FREEMOVE Reflective Vest - Running Gear + 2 Bands & Bag/Ultralight & Comfy Safety Vests for Running, Walking, Cycling

This is exactly what I needed. Light weight. Flexible enough to fit over shirt or jacket. Arm bands are a nice bonus. Now that it is dark so early, I needed something reflective for safety that could fit over a light jacket if needed. This works.

I use this vest for added visibility while riding my motorcycle in summer, both day and night. I have only had it for a few days, but visibility and reflection are quite good. Construction is of heavy mesh, which should hold up to highway speeds, at least for the short term, but at this price, replacing every couple of seasons if necessary due to wear and tear from basically hurricane force winds would not seem unreasonable. No reason should not last indefinitely in running or cycling applications. The mesh allows excellent ventilation even over vented leather jacket, and Velcro closures at either side allow size adjustment, tho' my XL vest (ordered to wear over a size L leather jacket) is closed about as tightly as possible to prevent blow up at highway speeds and still is not quite snug, tho' no blow up, probably because of the mesh.One drawback from a motorcyclist's standpoint is that, with the side closures, the vest must be donned over the head, which cannot be done with many DOT approved helmets, even bicycling helmets. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but something of which any buyer should be aware.

This vest is extremely lightweight (netting fabric) and there is plenty of reflective material on it as advertised, so: I would highly recommend NOT washing it either by machine or by hand! Some reviewers complain about "reflectivity issues" and washing is going to degrade the reflective material. In addition, SIZING as an issue. I'm 6"/175lbs. with a "runner's profile": my upper body is not broad shouldered or highly muscular, so I found medium sizing to be a perfect fit. Hope this is helpful.

After 1,847 reviews I can't believe I am the first one to mention using this vest and reflectors for horseback riding. I made my purchase knowing my neighbor and I were going to do a night ride to view Christmas lights. We live in a fairly rural area which has no street lights and though the trail next to the road is minimally 8 to 10 feet away, I was riding a black bay which is invisible at night and wanted passerby's to at least know we were there. Approaching vehicles, both head on and behind us, did slow so there is zero doubt we were visible.As you can see from the photos the vest does reflect both front and back. The vest, small - I'm 5', 105 lbs, fit easily over multiple layers, a ski jacket, and slipped over my helmeted head. The zip pocket gave easy access for gloved hands to access phone. I was really impressed by the bands which were fastened easily to the back of my saddle and the bottom of my stirrups. After viewing the photos I feel the bands themselves are worth the price.I will be purchasing several more of these for family and friends in addition to my horse trailer and emergency trunk kit (car).

I was looking for a reflective top so that I could be very visible during my occasional evening bicycle rides. I was debating between a reflective jacket and a vest, but decided on the vest because it would allow me the flexibility to wear anything from a jacket to just a t-shirt underneath to be comfortable riding in various weather and conditions. I have yet to go on a ride with this vest yet, but its been easy to put on and take off, seems to fit well, seems very reflective and seems durable enough to serve its intended purpose. Its very flexible, lightweight and can easily be folded down to fit in its included mesh bag or stored in a pocket.I am male, 5'10", 130 lbs, slender build with a chest width of 12" and a circumference of 34" which means I didn't really match any of the rows in the sizing chart. I also knew that there would be rides where I would be wearing several layers underneath including a jacket and rides where I may just be in a t-shirt. That said, I figured sizes x-small, small, or medium could all potentially fit, but had no idea which might be the best fit. I finally took a guess and ordered a small. As I feel the included reference photos suggest, the small is just right. Hope this helps anyone who, like me, struggles to determine the best size to order.

Cool. Great for hot weather

The fit is good and fairly easy to put on. If I had one thing I would have liked to see better, is more reflective properties built into the back. But, it works ok. I noticed most limit the reflective material. That stuff must be expensive.

I liked the streamlined, but not movement constricting fit. I use the little front, zipper pocket for a small bottle of water. Exactly what I was looking for.

Inexpensive running/biking vest fits the bill in being highly visible, easy on/easy off. Takes up no room and weighs next to nothing. Just be careful with the Velcro hook portion so it doesn’t attach to the vest material instead of its corresponding loop patch - could possibly tear the material over time if you are not careful. For the price, this works fine.

We received the package promptly. The vest and reflective bands were in a slim box, and packed with extreme care in a mesh carrying bag. Nice touch! The vest is easy to put/slip over a bike jacket. The price is great, too, so definitely recommend!

The vest in the picture is size medium. I'm 5'5 and 145 pounds. What I like about this vest is there are multiple reflective strips plus the high-visibility bright colour. I also appreciate the pocket in the front. The pocket is not big enough for my Iphone 8+ but I don't want to take my phone in the vest on runs or bikes anyway. My ipod fits nicely in the front pocket. It also came with two velcro arm bands which is neat. I wrapped one around the front of my bike frame and the other I attached to my backpack. The only aspect of the vest that I dislike is it is not as form-fitting as I was hoping. For multiple layers or a jacket it would likely be fine but to run in a tank or long-sleeved t-shirt it is a bit boxy. You can see the space in between my waist and the vest in the sideways picture. The velcro on the sides does not allow me to sinch it as tight to my waist as I would like. If the velcro on the sides were more like a belt where you could choose how far you tighten it it would be pretty much perfect. Light-weight and high-visibility are great; I would recommend this product.

I like that this vest is extremely lightweight and fits over my leather jacket

This product is exactly what I needed and expected - bright, light weight and comfortable.
