I’m not much of a runner, but when I do strap on my sneakers for a nice (miserable) jog through the neighborhood, the only thing that keeps me motivated is some good tunes. Without some ear buds blaring 50 Cent’s In Da Club my workout game is nothing. Luckily for me, I live in a quiet neighborhood with culs-de-sacs and dog walking trails so the threat of being hit by a car is fairly low. But for people who run in busier areas, a vest like this one would definitely come in handy! The Runner’s Speaker Vest looks like a normal high-visibility jacket, but it is equipped with built in speakers that allow you to listen to music without tuning out the world all together. It’s much safer for people who run along busy streets because you have a better sense of your surroundings than if you were wearing ear buds. The speakers project just below your ears, so you can clearly hear your music without it being too loud for others passing by. Just plug in your device, throw it in the front pocket of the vest, and enjoy your run!
