Top 12 Night Visibility Items

I carry one of these in my car to quickly slip on for night walking. Choose one made of mesh so it is breathable and lightweight. The vests usually come as one-size-fits-most. The reflective strips on front and back provide safety. If you get one in orange it provides day safety as well.

These open-fingered gloves have big reflective triangles on the palm and the back of the hand, plus reflective strips down each finger. I love the visibility these gloves give me, especially when crossing the street. I flash the triangle on my palm to waiting traffic.  You can wear alone or over other gloves. They are breathable enough to wear at night in all seasons.

This hat with three built-in ultra-bright, ultra-light LED headlamp bulbs is a great walking or running accessory in dusk, dawn, or after dark. It fits and feels like any other good cap, and you can wear it anytime. After dark, just push in the button to use a front spotlight and/or two under-brim lights that will illuminate your walking path. The lights add no weight at all.

Reflective anklebands and armbands are a good choice if you don't want to wear a vest. They will show you are a moving object.

The hat you wear walking at night should have reflective strips, at least. Illuminite hats have a weave of reflective fabric throughout the hat, yet it is subtle in daylight. Shine at night, look normal by day.
