Best High-Visibility Winter Running Gear

By Mackenzie Lobby Havey

While the days are slowly, but surely getting longer, many runners still find themselves running in low-light conditions at dawn and dusk. One of the most important safety concerns for runners this time of year, aside from simply staying warm, is remaining visible to motorists. Even if you live in a neighborhood with plenty of streetlights and sidewalks, runners can be tricky to spot along the road. To make sure you're not left in the dark, check out some of our favorite reflective and high visibility gear on the market this year.
