Nothing is worse than getting off work at 5:00 p.m. and trying to squeeze in a workout before it gets dark at 5:30 p.m.

Worse yet, your boss makes you stick around until 5:20 going over the weekly reports. Even waking up in the morning it is dark in the winter.

Most companies throw in a reflective stripe here or there and send it to the retail stores for distribution. Granted it will give you a little sense of security, but is it enough?

Well the folks at illumiNite® don’t think so, or at least they have the impression that reflective clothing can be done better. illumiNITE® provides you with unique head-to-toe reflectivity, making you fully visible to motorists. This performance is delivered without compromising functionality, such as moisture management, breathe ability, weight and wind resistance.

How Does it Work?

In a nutshell, illumiNite clothing works like a million little mirrors reflecting the light back and forth. Well that is my interpretation of what illumiNite® says.

“Using patented techniques, microscopic retro-reflective sataLITE™ DISHES, acting like millions of mirrors working together to reflect light back to its originating source, illumiNITE® technical fabrics offer the highest specification of comfort, design and protection powered by illumiNITE® technology.”

IlluniNITE has some great examples on ther website on how their clothing looks during daylight hours and also in the darkness when reflecting light. Check out www.illuminite.com for more information

Inspira Running Glove Style 7093

A super soft comfortable glove with the illumiNite® technology, and terry cloth sweat pad to wipe your nose and mouth. One of the nicer features was the neoprene cuff that was semi-long and would go up your sleeve a little and would help block the wind and keep the cold out. We found the glove comfy from the 50s to the 25-degree range.

Features:

* Brushed Thermatec microfleece body
* Neoprene cuff
* Sizes: S-M, L-XL
* Color: Black

Suggested Retail: $19.99

2-in-1 Vizi Jacket for Men

One thing I can guarantee is with the Vizi jacket you WILL NOT be missed. During the day it is bright neon green that can be seen for miles away while running. During the evening the illuNinite® technology takes care of the safety. The great thing about the Vizi is the zip off sleeves, a jacket and vest in one, just like mom used to buy you as a little kid.

Temperature range for the jacket is as low as 15 degrees with a base layer and secondary layer, and with the sleeves removed we were comfortable up to 40 degrees. It is definitely one of the most versatile pieces we have tested.

Features

* Style and versatility combined- the Vizi Jacket has removable sleeves.
* Eye catching color by day, superior reflectivity by night (in other words neon green)
* Lightweight microBREATHE fabric, Teflon® coating
* Lined with coolDRY polyester mesh
* Convenient chest pocket
* Rear vent. Drawcords
* Sizes available in s-xxl
* Colors: Black/Flouro

Suggested Retail: $89.99
