Drawing attention to yourself can come in handy for a variety of reasons when you're out for a run. Whether to scare off an animal on a trail run, make your presence known to a car or cyclist, or call for help in the event of some kind of attack, being able to get loud is an easy and useful measure for staying safe. Women-founded athletic apparel company Graced by Grit includes a safety whistle with every item it sells, and most of its tops have loops or button holes specifically designed to easily secure the whistle to yourself. If you want to upgrade your alarm-sounding capabilities, the Doberman Security Alarm Jogger ($18) sets off a 110 decibel alarm with the touch of a button and can be easily secured via wristband.
