      Comments about Amphipod Xinglet with Pocket:

      Very useful peice of equipment that will fit in a pocket and serve as reflective or neon, day or night.
      I am a cycle commuter with no fear when it comes to the amount of reflectivity, bright colors or number of lights that will tell motorists I am sharing the road.
      What I expecially like about the Cinglet is it can be worn over a small daypack. And, with a little practice the simple fastener is much more convenient then the old, somewhat tangly Nathan cycling vests I also use, and it provides side reflectivity & flamboyance which they don't.

      Comments about Amphipod Xinglet with Pocket:

      This product is a huge benifit at night. It is close to the body and after a while you forget you have it on, unlike with lights. The only complaint I have is the waist belt tends to ride up and sit above my navel which takes some getting use to.

      Overall when wearing this you know you will be seen without the expense of extra weight.

          This is great for jogging in poor light. It fits well over a windbreaker, and the pocket is just the right size for a cell phone and keys. If you adjust the straps correctly, it doesn't move around or restrict motion.

            This does exactly what it needs to - gives me some visibility to motorists while walking at night. Neighborhoods can be even more dangerous because of people's familiarity with the roads and not paying close attention, so this gives an extra layer of safety through the dark winter

            Awesome Safety "Vest"

                  Comments about Amphipod Xinglet with Pocket:

                  I've tried a half-dozen high-visibility vests for night running/cycling (including bike commutes outside daylight hours). This is the only product I've been happy with.

                  The singlet is durable (a couple months of daily wear with no problems), highly reflective, and doesn't bind movement during running or cycling. The front pocket holds my ID card and a house key with room to spare and in comfort.

                  My only concern is the front pocket is tacked down at the top, but not fully seamed. It would take some strange contortions (or removal of the singlet and shaking upside down) for a key to fall out, but a key *will* fit through the 'holes' at the top of the pocket. I don't see any advantage to not having a fully-seamed pocket.
