I'm an early morning runner now. Nearly got hit by a car this week in the dark before sunrise. I've looked online for some kind of singlet that's bright and/or reflective. I know there's all kinds of cycling shirts that are super neon so they can be spotted. Why not running singlets? I really don't want to wear one of those reflective road-construction vests over a singlet. Any suggestions? Links?
Look around on the Running Warehouse site for the Brooks Nightlife stuff or the Saucony Vizipro stuff. Brooks has a short sleeve shirt. Nike also makes some bright yellow singlets.
A little clip-on light is also a good idea. There are bunch available. I've got a Firefly light from Roadid.com and they also have other reflective stuff.
Thanks for the responses. Searching for vizipro and nightlife helped. I was trying to avoid the wrist bands, ankle bands, vests, etc. I just want a singlet that's bright and reflective so I don't have to attach all the other stuff to be seen. Brooks nightlife singlet looks bright. I just wish they would've added some reflective stuff on it. Saucony has a singlet that is not too bright but their small little logo on the front and back is reflective... like that's going to be easy for a groggy driver to spot early in the morning. Wish they would add more reflective stuff to the singlet. Like I said there's lots of cycling shirts made this way. I don't understand why no one makes a running singlet this way.
Just get a cycling singlet, cut off the bottom, the pockets, and sleeves.

See those are all construction vests. Why not a singlet that's neon yellow with reflective stuff screen-printed on? I have winter running gear that has reflective areas printed on the back.
Just get a reflective adjustable belt thing. You can wear it with anything. We used to have them in the army, just fling them over the shoulder if you don't fell like wearing around the waist. Probably any surplus or mmilitary or police oriented store.

There are a couple of companies that make stuff like this.
just buy reflective vest in your nearest gas station , cheaper.....
Here is a video of Brooks Nightlife gear in action.

A decent $10 vest blows that crap out of the water.
Asics used to make some screen printed reflective gear like what you are referring to, but I don't see it as available any longer.
A search for "3M Scotchlite clothing" will probably give you better options than just searching a couple of manufacturers. You can also buy 3M Scotchlite tapes in various colors on Amazon if you wanted to get creative with some gear you already have and like the fit of.
