Since I run at 0 dark 30 I am always aware of how others see me. I like bright colors any way but I found a fleece Hunters vest which is fluroescent orange. That with my Road ID FireFly on my wrist and most everybody can see me in the dark. Also, bike jersey tend to have reflective portions that help for those long early morning runs.

I use a cheap head lamp that I picked up at Home Depot a couple of years ago. It works pretty well, although I’d like to get one that has the batteries at the back of the head at some point since it can get a little heavy on longer runs. Works fine for the most part though.

I love my Petzl Headlamp although I can’t remember what model it is to be honest.

It’s great for post sundown evening runs and I’ve even used it for early morning track workouts where it lights up 2 or 3 lanes of the local high school track!

Also, no matter how hard I run, it always stays in place…

I’ve had a couple of these over the past few years, and I love them for backpacking and general use. Not sure I’d wear it running, though. The retractable cord on mine doesn’t seem like it would be strong enough to keep it on my head, with the jostling of running.
