Customer Reviews
This vest is FIRE! Seriously. I run early with my run club and they comment every time I wear it how visible and bright I am when cars are approaching. It's lightweight and easy to throw on over 5 layers in the winter or a sports bra in the summer. This piece is great quality and adorable. Probably one of the best pieces Oiselle has put out there.
I've worn this over a bra, tank, long sleeve, and even my hydration vest! I have the L/XL. Normally I wear a L or 10 in tanks. Yes, it looks crazy when I wear it over my hydration vest, but I can still access the pockets in the front as well as my water, and when the sun comes out, I stuff it into the back of my vest. Normally I don't like being noticed, but when it's dark out, being seen is a must! I am buying a second one because I end up wearing mine multiple times before washing. Hey, I'm an early morning runner and can't do laundry every day! Sometimes I pair this with the Firecracker tights or shorts but often I wear this as my only reflective clothing because it's bright enough. Highly recommended if you run in the dark!
Frankly, I will wake up early/run later just to wear this top. Breathable, reflective, feels great even if I just wear it with a bra. Perfect pockets for keys or gels. I'm planning on buying more of these so that I don't have to wash the same one every day.
True to size , I got a size small. With the time change here in LA, I decided to get this too in hopes to get some reflective gear for safety, and let me say I LOVE THIS TOP! My team mates said it was really reflective and cute. It didn’t bounce (which I was afraid of) , the material is durable , light, and airy. Can’t wait to purchase more!
It's nice that there are a lot of pictures of models with different sizes, except there are a ton of women wearing sm/m and one wearing a 1x/2x. There wasn't any model wearing a large/xl. I ordered a sm/m and I'm 140 pounds 34c. It's a little tight around my shoulders, then plenty big in the waist and it has a draw string. I almost should have ordered a l/xl which would have been nice to know with an updated size chart or with models wearing that size. But the actual reflective aspect is amazing!
Have been looking for a comfortable vest that was reflective. Found this vest and order a SM/MD and it fits perfectly over a long sleeve shirt and I can tell in winter when I have a jacket on it will slip over nicely. Has a nice side pocket you can get to easily to store your gloves/fuel, etc but the best part is everyone sees me coming. Ran with my running friend the other day and wow she couldn't believe how much it lights up. Perfect timing for the shorter days and early morning runs. Thanks Oiselle!
If you run early in the morning or at night, this is the best top ever! It is truly as reflective as it looks. I have an older version in black, but worried that I needed some bright colors as it started to get lighter in the morning. Someone at Oiselle must of heard me thinking this (it was literally just the other day) and what do I see the crackle! Yes! So just ordered! Thank you Oiselle!
No more dayglo orange oversized vests - this is a great product!
