I enjoy walking at night. I take the time to listen to books on tape or to my favorite radio shows. During the summer there’s hardly any preparation time required for me to begin walking. However as winter in New England approaches it begins to get dark early. While I can wear light clothing and hope that drivers of cars are paying attention, I prefer to stack the deck in my favor with reflective wear. Previously I’d been wearing reflective bands that strapped to my arm with a (too tight) elastic. Three days ago I ordered these Vedante reflective strips from Amazon hoping that they’d be a little more convenient. These bands are self-rolling and require no straps. Simply unroll and slap over your arm. In my walks they’ve held tight and are super reflective. There was no slipping and the tension was just right – not too tight and not too loose. Recommended for anyone who works out at night and doesn’t want to be hit by a distracted text messaging driver. Makes a perfect accessory for Halloween costumes. I bought the large size and recommend that you do too. The size is not too large and it will fit over more of your bulky clothing. The bands come in a variety of sizes. Cost is $12 to $14 for a pair.
