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.

Right now, I'm actually not very safe...I just try and wear a bright color...I have a reflective vest that was given to me, but I refuse to wear it like you!
I follow your blog.
I like the gray t shirt.
I like the athletic gray women's shirt.
I liked run naked sports on FB.
I currently just take a flashlight with me and don't think too much about reflective gear. Oops.
I like the light blue or black woman's tee.
I currently wear a Brooks jacket the most. I do wear a vest when it is pitch black. I also have a cap with a light.
Awesome stuff. I'm a follower!
Now like RNS on FB
I think I'd have to go with black since it looks so slick on you!
Honestly, I am not so good with dressing safely in the dark. I don't own a headlamp, I don't own a vest. Some of my clothes have reflective elements but not enough.
I'm fortunate to usually be running with people in the dark so I just try to stick with someone who is all lit up. :)
I follow....
I'm torm b/w the gray or the black...
After almost getting hit last year by a driver not paying attention at all I wear a lot of reflective stuff and even have a headlamp I wear on the really dark nights.

I would probably get the light blue tshirt.

I don't have any reflective gear, so I just wear the same ol' same ol' in low light conditions. This means I've had to change my routine since the time has changed! I used to come home after work, chill for a few, then head out and run from my house. Now I have to take my running clothes to work with me, change there, and head straight into town where there are streetlights and run there.

I would pick the light blue shirt.
When I run in the dark I wear a white shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve depending on weather). If it is really cold I wear my dark blue windbreaker that does have some reflective strips on it...not enough for me to really be seen and I wear a blinking LED light (that I got at the Pittsburgh 1/2 marathon in my goody bag) on the arm band of my ipod.
Will be posting on my blog in just a few minutes. Have to figure out how to get it on my side bar!
yup, follower!
love the athletic grey tee

I have yet to run in the dark, but a tee like this would help get me started!

I like the light blue short sleeve shirt.
and I've linked to the giveaway on my blog.
If its dark out I currently run in my bright yellow shirt from my first half. and I wear a baseball hat with lights that hook on the brim.
Linking you on my blog!
I wear a Nathan reflective vest. Yes, it's dorky, but I do 95% of my runs in the dark, and I'd rather be dorky than dead.
I like the gray women's T.
I am a new follewer - holla!
i would love to have the grey T
my current reflective wear varies. sometimes i am lazy and it's just the reflectors on my shoes... sometimes i get fancy and use my neon yellow hat with the non working flashing light... sometimes i wear my neon yellow short sleeve running shirt...and sometimes i wear my reflective vest. never do i wear all of the reflective stuff at once - maybe i should. ;0
follower :D
I usually just wear a white shirt when running in darker conditions. :/ I could really use this giveaway!!
I love the grey, but I sweat a lot so I should probably get black haha!
I liked them on facebook :-)
I like the gray one best.
I'm a follower, and I LOVE this giveaway!!!
I like them on facebook.
I like the grey too because the words show up best when it's daylight... (the v-neck version is uber-cute!!!)
Would it be awful to admit that I run at 5am often and all I have is the reflective Nike swoosh on my hat and the reflectiveness on my Brooks shoes... sad, I know. I do try to wear white, though.

I'm a follower. I'm super passionate about reflective gear (something about being H2C 2010 team captain - ha) and so appreciate this post.
I "liked" Run Naked Sports
I like the grey tee
I currently wear the Amphipod xinglet (less restrictive than a vest - when adjusted properly I don't even notice it) and the Brooks Nighlife hat with a cap light on the front. I am determined not to be run over.

I usually run in the early AM, as it is getting light out. I have an awesome reflective pull-over I got as race swag that I wear...its cold here in WI, I need my layers!
oooh... I'd get the light blue!
I wear a little blinking light arm band that blinks red. It's a pain to keep on, but it works!

I'd pick grey or lt blue :)
hubby just got me a neon yellow ls top with some 3m reflective tape that I am wearing now.

Posted to my facebook page, now i will need to get dressed in my gear and take a picture:)
I usuall run barefoot with nothing on but a pair of shorts. I guess the only thing I have to reflective is might white butt if I were to moon a car. :)
I actually have not acquired a lot of reflective gear yet for running since this is my first year, but I do have a lot of BRIGHT colors. Not the same thing, I know, but better than black!

I currently try to sport my brooks night-life gear during low light conditions, including a hat with a blinky light
I follow you
I linked this on my blog
Right now I wear my orange reflective vest, reflective sleeves (that are too big so they drive me nuts), and a blinky light on my waist band.
If it's completely dark, I add a headlamp and flash light.
If I expect to finish as the sun is coming up, I add my bright yellow sunvisor to shade my eyes as well as an extra measure of bright obnoxious color to make myself visible.

I'd get either the gray or the black

I just picked up a head light. I live in WI and run around 5:30 - 6:30 in the morning . . . so I need some reflective clothing. I do wear a reflective vest - but these tops are really cute.
I wear this neon-yellow/green teeshirt - over my sweatshirt if need be...it is so bright but not reflective.

I would choose black or gray..hmm....tough choice!
I'm awful and don't wear any reflective gear. Eek! I know.... The good news is that I very very rarely run when it's not light out, and when I do I am on a trail away from vehicles. If necessary, I default to the trusty headlamp. :)

I run inside in low-light conditions. My husband does run outside but just in normal clothes. Sometimes he'll take a little red light (sort of like those laser lights that you tease cats with but not) to shine when cars are coming :S
I like Run Naked Sports on Facebook, and I have visited their website and like the light blue shirt. I wear a Nathan reflective vest when I run. I now follow your blog have reposted this on mine. :)
