Got your attention, didn't I?
OK, so I don't really want you to run without your clothes on. If for no other reason than it's getting really cold outside and I don't want you to get frostbite. (There are other reasons too, but I'm sure you can figure those out yourself.)
So, you probably want to know what I mean, right? Well, it's simple. I want you to be seen when you run. And a surefire way to do that is to Run Naked.
Run Naked Sports is an apparel company, attempting to make reflective gear more fashion forward and fun. Here's what they have to say ...
"Why Run Naked? Comfort. Freedom. Safety.
When you are running in low light conditions, bits of reflection on your shoes usually doesn’t cut it. Reflector vests can seem like a punishment of discomfort. Reflection will only protect us if we wear it. Run Naked Sports is making reflection fun.
Be seen. Be free. Be safe."
What more could a runner want?
Personally, I run at least half of my weekly miles in the dark. I already don a headlamp, but I'm not about to wear a reflective vest. It's just not my style. So, when I stumbled upon Run Naked Sports, I was pumped. Simple designs. Extreme visibility. A match made in heaven. I wanted to Run Naked.
So, I contacted Joan (the woman behind Run Naked Sports), who greeted me with fantastic customer service and was nice enough to let me test her product. She sent me the women's short sleeve tee (black) in a large (medium would have fit, but I sized up since I fell between sizes). Here I am before an early morning run, last weekend (I tried my best to keep the reflection to a minimum for the picture) ...
Super cute, right?I can not speak highly enough of this shirt. It is ultra-comfortable (I've been wearing it when I'm not running, too). And it is MASSIVELY reflective. The slightest bit of light is all it takes for you to be seen. And that's something we all NEED as the days get shorter and shorter.
Now, for the fun stuff.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 350 of 350I have a really old half zip pullover that has some reflective piping on it and a jacket for "Illuminite" that is not breathable and very hot that I only wear if I really feel the need to be seen.
I think I'd go with the gray shirt.

I "liked" Run Naked on Facebook.
I would choose the gray shirt.
If I run in low-light conditions, I usually wear a Brooks shirt with reflective strips or one of my 1/2 zip pullovers from Athleta with reflective designs.
I would choose the athletic gray. Right now I wear a really low-profile vest. Amazingly, I look like a dork, but I can't even feel it.
I am a new follower, and a bit of a giveaway whore these days ... but I really like the shirt, so here I am following another running blog.

I am liking the Grey shirt in woman's small.
In low light conditions, I choose routes with sidewalks and street lights ... I don't yet have anything reflective.

I wear a headlamp and an orange safety belt with reflectors that the hubs had from his motorcycling days. A bit ugly, but serves the purpose.
Love that shirt!

I liked Run naked on FB.
I like the light blue to go with my blue trim Nike dry fit shorts!
I currently wear an Army reflect belt (Go Army couresty of Hubbs), headlamp, LBM has a latern in the stroller which has reflective fabric on it. My capris have reflective pattern on the sides. I also have a reflective vest (I don't really like it. It is kind of uncomfortable) Enough for safety in PA but probably not enough for VA.

I like the grey a lot, but can't wear grey since I'm a sweat monster. I'd have to go with black.

I wear my white running jacket with reflective strips on it. It's good until winter when everything is covered in snow and matches me. :p
I've blogged about the giveaway.
Super cute! I'm a follower!
Wow! So I would get the Women's Racer Back tank in black or grey! I'm not picky!
So, I don't really have any racing/running clothes that I wear intentionally with reflective material. I actually usually end up wearing all black when I run. Not good when it is getting dark. =/ I guess my capri tights have a tiny reflective strip just under the knee and I have a jacket with a reflective strip on the zipper area. Maybe I will have to get a nerdy reflection belt so I don't get hit by a car.

I like the women's athletic grey shirt.
I don't have any bright or reflective clothing when I run at night. I have a regular yellow hoodie, a headlamp and an ankle/wrist strap that is reflective. I'm totally in the market...

I don't wear any reflective clothing, but I clip a red LED light to my shoe when I run in the dark.
I would put picture of current gear if I had any.. I would love: unisex short sleeve tee - athletic grey

I have a pair of neon yellow tempo shorts I've been wearing - at night I stick to the well-lit sidewalks around my complex but would love some serious reflective gear to give me the courage to venture out!

I haven't been running much outside, in the dark, but when I do I wear a shirt/jacket that has some reflective pieces on it. I also use my head lamp in really dark conditions.

More is better, though.

I want gray!!
In low light conditions - I wear my hubby biking next to me. no joke.

I don't run in the dark too often, but when I do I have a bright yellow (like flourescent) pair of shorts and usually a white shirt. I'm also thankful that where I live the roads are very well lit.

Friends on Facebook with RN!
I like the light gray one. It is super cute!
Honestly, the reflective gear that I have is my dad's vest that he wore when he was training for his full marathon! I can't wear it all that often though, because it is so big on me!

I don't have much reflective stuff. I have one jacket that has some. When I do run outside I try to gather my most reflective stuff. Now I have my lime reflective TMB Endurance Band :)

I think I'd wear gray. Or maybe black.
I never wear reflective gear, and I really ought to - our roads are narrow and winding!
