Hey all...anyone have a recommendation for a quality lighted runner's vest? Lots of options on Amazon, but many seem to be sub-par. Thanks!

Not really sure if it's something you want to do but I picked up this vest from Amazon about a month ago, mainly because it has a chest mounted bottle. I got the chest mounted one because I don't like things bouncing around on my hips.

But the point is, it has this pocket on the front big enough for a large cell phone. The front is clear, which makes sense, since the idea is you're supposed to be able to use a cell phone. But all I did is buy one of those flat LED lights from Home Depot that's roughly the same size and shape as a cell phone and put that in it. I ran with it a few weeks back and it works great. Of course, the other advantage is I can use the light for other things as well.

But I'm kind of a redneck so I'll do some shade tree **** like that.

Thanks Jen. I thought about rigging up my own vest also, with LEDs from the hardware store. So much of the stuff on the market seems thrown together and cheap. I have a gal in my neighborhood who runs her dog in the early dark hours. She wears a light green safety vest that has lit green crosses across her back and chest. It's a nice rig, but I noticed that even with that set up you really don't notice her until you get within 75 feet or so. And she's pretty well set up, seemingly. So, I think I need to get something that lights me up like Christmas. I often work out in the very wee morning hours, when people are barely out of bed and are rushing off to work in the dark fooling with there cell phone. I don't see much on the market that give me confidence. Over at Slowtwitch someone recommended the Noxgear Tracer2.....meh
