After feeling vulnerable on my early morning moonlit runs I’ve invested in this Proviz gilet. I can’t believe how fluorescent it is.

Might be a bit off putting for drivers seeing a headless, armless and legless runner 😂.

I now feel safer 👍🏼

Wow! That’s impressive. 😄 If there are “torso ghost sightings” we know who to blame! 😂

That’s certainly gonna be hard to miss!

I’ll keep an eye on the news for sightings.

Fabulous! Ive got a thing about being seen in the dark too, I’ve got a cycling jacket in the same material - haven’t tried it yet, but i’ll be glowing like I’m radioactive, and probably able to be seen by passing aircraft 😂.......no chance of missing me! 😂👍 and yes, it makes me feel safe too...

Love it! You definitely could give someone a fright as this glowing torso is gliding down the pitch black street 😱😂

Looks magic ! I’m often out driving in the dark (I live quite far north and it’s pretty dark by 4pm just now) and so grateful to all the runners, joggers, cyclists and bikers who put a little thought into making themselves clearly visible. Nearly ran down a bloke the other day, dressed in black and walking a black dog down a road with no pavement or lights at 6pm. I desperately wanted to go back and shriek abuse at him, but I didn’t . . . This time !

At least I won’t have to shout abuse then - very grateful 😄

Blooming heck that’s some good stuff right there. Silly question but are you in the coat?! Very good reflection!!

😂 oh haha. Can I be cheeky and ask how much these are and do they do them in men’s sizes? Appreciate it! Thanks.

Hi apologies for the delay in answering. I paid £59 direct from Proviz and yes they do come in men’s sizes. 😊
