Be safe - be seen. Only your life depends on it. Night walking means taking extra care that cars see you. For the best safety, your entire outline should be reflective and you should carry a light or wear a flasher.
2. Petzl TacTikka Plus LED Headlamp
For hands-free night walking, this headlamp is an essential. It is lightweight, bright, and it runs on 3 AAA batteries that last for 150 or more hours. That's far better than a flashlight that is drained in just a few hours. You can adjust the angle of the four super bright LED bulbs. I has three brightness settings, plus a flashing setting. There is a red filter to flip over the lights if you prefer. It has a single strap, but kits are available to add an over-the-head second strap.
3. Glo Glov
Open-fingered gloves with big reflective triangles on palm and back of hand, and reflective strips down each finger. These provide great visibility, especially when crossing the street and flashing your palm to traffic. Wear alone or over other gloves, in all seasons.
4. Boss LED Head-Lite Running Hat
Wow, just what I needed and never imagined existing - a hat with a built-in ultra-bright, ultra-light headlamp. For walking or running in dusk, dawn, or after dark, this is a great accessory. It fits and feels like any other good cap, you can wear it anytime. After dark, just push in the button and you have an ultra-bright LED light to show you the way. The light adds no weight at all. One drawback - the light might not be at the best angle for your head position.
5. See-Me-Run Iron-on Reflective Transfers
Use these reflective iron-on transfers to add a measure of night safety to your favorite walking gear. I put them on my Camelbak and my favorite cold weather walking hat. Don't want to wear a reflective vest? Use these transfers on your favorite jacket on the back, sleeves and front and you will have improved your night safety.
