If you prefer the city streets over a track or trail, the biggest threat to your safety is usually drivers who are increasingly distracted by their phones. Visibility is your best defense — make yourself seen and you keep yourself safe. A reflective vest like the Brooks LSD Vest ($54, originally $110) works over a sports bra or a long-sleeved tee to keep you highly visible from both the front and back year round. Pair with the reflective Seattle Tights ($99, originally $165) and Ghost 10 Running Shoes ($120) for head-to-toe reflecting.
If you're running before sunrise or at night, adding additional gear like a headlamp and flashing arm bands will ensure you shine bright and get the attention you deserve.
