Some runners find their only time to run is in the darkness of early morning or evening. If you're running in the early morning or at night, even at dusk, you should always make sure you have reflective gear on. Here are some recommendations for runners' reflective gear.

IllumiNITE hats feature a reflective material that helps motorists see runners in the dark. Unlike reflective strips and trims, illumiNITE products reflects back a silhouette profile that is easily recognizable as a distinctive human shape. The illumiNITE retro-reflective technology embeds millions of microscopic satellite dishes into the weave of the fabric. These dishes act like mirrors to reflect back to the original light source. Whether you're running in cold or warm weather, there are illumiNITE hats for all different types of weather.
