I run every morning before sunrise. You say"goofiest", I say "wicked smart", I'm sure I look stupid running wearing this belt but I know cars can see me.

u/moriya · 23 pointsr/WTF

Yeah, athletics are always fun with all the easily mixed up cremes and ointments and whatnot. I'm a cyclist, and I swear by chamois creme - you slather it on your junk and the inside of your legs to stop saddle sores and chafing.

Another popular creme is Embrocation - it's basically waterproof Icy Hot for your legs in the cold and wet winter months. It keeps your muscles and circulation going, and keeps mud from sticking to you. It also will not fucking come off once you've applied it - it requires a shower and rigorous scrubbing.

I use DZ Nuts embrocation creme and Assos chamois creme. DZ Nuts also makes a popular chamois creme. You can imagine where this is going...before a group ride, a friend was getting changed at my place and asked if he could borrow some chamois creme. After walking out of the bathroom, he remarked "you switched to DZ Nuts? I thought you swore by Assos..."

Ouch.

u/HeyDoYouHaveAnyGum · 20 pointsr/aves

In my experience it's been at least as many guys asking for water, I don't see a reason to call one group out specifically. I don't always like sharing my water and having to get back in line earlier but I definitely prefer a minor inconvenience to having someone else be uncomfortable or get hurt.

I'd guess the problem is more about people just not knowing how useful it can be and not knowing where to get one / how much / etc. Even if it really is about "looking super dope and stylish" I think the solution is the same: educate them. Show them where you or your friend got yours and how much it was and how many cool options are available.

I don't know anything about the quality but these look super cool and certainly seem small enough to still show off your assets if that's what you're worried about.
https://vibedration.com/collections/hydration-packs/ga - $38-$45

This is the pack I use. I love it and tell people about it whenever it comes up. It's just a little bit bigger than a regular slim pack when it's all strapped down and has a pressurized side to the bladder that inflates with a small hand bulb so the water can shoot out. It's great to cool down with or to share water because they don't have to touch your mouth piece. Really easy to fill and wash.

u/cmagnuson · 16 pointsr/boostedboards

After riding 2,500 miles between my two boards, here are the accessories I bring with me on every ride:

GoPro Hero Session camera: On two occasions I have been assaulted by people in cars while commuting home. They threw an egg and some water at me. After the first incident, I purchased this camera and started riding with it facing behind me. When the second assault occurred, I was able to grab the license plate # from the video footage and got the culprits in trouble with the police.

Fingerless gloves: When you fall off your board, which you surely will if you ride any significant distance, the first part of your body to hit the pavement will probably be the palms of your hands as you catch yourself. Removing the skin from your hands feels terrible, even on small falls. Wearing these gloves provides an extra layer to rub off when you hit the pavement. Make sure you wear fingerless gloves though because full-fingered gloves make it extremely difficult to operate the remote control.

Flatland 3D bash guard and remote ring: These two accessories changed my boarding life completely. Definitely put a bash guard on the tail of your board to prevent the ground from chewing up the tail every time you bring your board vertical. Don't waste your time putting on a nose guard because they don't serve a purpose. The nose of my board never touches anything except my hands and having a guard there makes it more uncomfortable/difficult to handle the nose of the board. When it comes to the remote ring, I cannot recommend this accessory highly enough. Sure, putting a Nintendo Wii remote strap on your Boosted remote will keep it from dropping to the ground. On the other hand, the Flatland 3D remote ring keeps the remote snugly embedded in the palm of your hand even if you fully open your hand and spread all of your fingers. I've even completely fallen off my board and hit the ground without losing grip of my remote. The remote ring is a true game-changer.

A headlamp: A headlamp??? Yes, a headlamp. Why? Well, riding a skateboard at night is one of the most terrifying activities known to man. Any unexpected bumps, cracks, or rocks can send you flying. With a headlamp, you can wear it like a garter around your thigh. This gives the light a perfect vantage point to light up the pavement in front of you. I've used this light in particular to commute at night for a couple years and it works excellently. Light & Motion makes the best lights I've ever used. The build quality is unmatched and their customer service is top notch.

Clear biking glasses: Riding without something over my eyes is very difficult. Dust from the road and insects from the air frequently fly into my eyes unless I am wearing some form of protection. During the day, any pair of sunglasses work fine. However, at night a pair of shades is not a good idea. Instead, I purchased some biking glasses from Smith Optics. This model comes with several lenses: smoke, rose, and clear.

Small towels: If you ride your board any farther than a mile in a single ride, especially if you commute in a city, you will find the bottom of your board covered in dust, muck, and liquids at the end of your ride. Folding a small towel and sticking it in my back pocket has saved me from countless headaches. Instead of getting to my destination with a board dripping with garbage truck juice or covered in mud, I am able to quickly wipe down the bottom of my board so I don't get my hands and clothing dirty. In addition, if I spill anything else on myself while I'm out, I have a handy rag I can quickly utilize. These towels are so cheap that I don't feel bad throwing them away if I trash them.

LED waist belt: When riding at night, being visible is one of the keys to safety. While your garter headband works great to light the path in front of you, this LED waist band makes you much more visible to vehicles approaching you from behind.

A helmet: These protect your noggin. I haven't found a helmet I love yet, but this one does have the best chinstrap I've ever seen. It's magnetic, which means it's impossible to pinch the skin under your chin when putting on the helmet!

u/brerlapingone · 15 pointsr/flashlight

If those work for you, then have at it. However, there are better options for not much more money.

Nitecore Tube

Convoy S2

The tube is rechargeable, and offers variable brightness so you can control brightness/battery life. The Convoy will require a charger and a 18650 battery, which will tack on another $15 or so, but Gearbest frequently runs sales, so you can probably get the whole package for $25 or less. That flashlight will offer a smaller form factor (easier to slip into a pants pocket or just take less room in a bag), less weight, and an enormously brighter beam with a longer runtime. If you're seriously concerned about emergencies during your commute in the subway (a valid concern), you may want to consider upgrading your apparatus. That being said, any light is better than no light, so carry whatever works for you.

u/TheCookiez · 12 pointsr/Shambhala

================

THINGS TO BRING:

================

Next thing on the survival menu: make sure you have enough cash and convert it to Canadian before you leave. I normally suggest you bring about $150 - $200 depending on how early you plan on getting in. The cash machine can run out and I don't know how well it works with American bank accounts. ( $50/day early iirc ) Food also can get expensive.. Be ready for that

​

There are a few places you can get food along the way, Kelwona is good, Castlegar is great ( No frills sells cheap food.. vegis can be meh, but for dirt cheap thats where I hit up ) Nelson is out of the way but has a "membership free bulk store" called Wholesale club.. It works but might be too large for one person

​

Canadian tire will sell cheap coolers ( styrofoam etc ) so you can pick that up drop some ice in and go. Personally i hate suggesting styrofoam but you do what you need to.

​

To pack your bag to save the maximum space, ROLL your clothes then push them into ziplock freezer bags. you can easily fit 2 - 3x the amount into a bag, depending on the size of your backpack and how long you will be there it can make it much easier to fit everything. Also bring a bathing suit in a spare bag. Toss it into the bag before tossing it into your backpack as you leave so it won't stink up everything.

​

For clothing, shorts and tshirts work great, Lots of people love to dress up with costumes.. Now, it does get a bit chilly at night if you are not at the stages. A pair of pants and a hoodie is a good idea, ALSO KNOW, there is always a chance it could rain. so be ready for that. Normally it doesn't last long but you could get wet.

​

( I will link my basic hiking setup at the bottom, I've collected this stuff over years but I can make it about 5-7 days with this, obviously you don't need everything but thats what I take hiking )

​

Make sure to bring a GOOD pair of shoes for walking. When it gets dark, the paths become.. Sketchy. during the day sandals works but I always perfered my walking shoes. Water shoes are also AMAZING. The river is rockey.. Well.. only rocks.. So having something you can walk though it is super nice. You can do it bare foot and I have many times but its not always the most comfortable of things.

​

  1. Get a good backpack, On the cheaper side, get a Amazon Basics Note, 75lr could put you over the 50lb mark at the airport so be prepared for that -- SIDE NOTE. Ask the person at the flight desk for a bag to put your backpack into and tape it up. Makes flying 9000x better with a backpack because it won't get caught

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y5M3D4P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    ​

  9. SUNSCREEN!!! Very important unless you enjoy being a lobster. The sun is VERY STRONG out in the valley the first year I went, I watched a guy go from well tanned construction worker to lobster to a walking talking blister. Not fun

  13. TENT: I got a greer top hiking tent.. Its gone from amazon.. a 2man tent is your best bet get it as light as possible.
u/AttemptedWit · 12 pointsr/flashlight

$10 is a tough budget.

Coast HP1 was my first foray into the hobby. It has a horrid tint (maybe be good if you are attacked by a tint snob). It's zoomie, but a more efficient zoom. It supports 14500 so it can get pretty bright for the price. It is single mode with momentary. It's not bad for the price.

Lumintop Tool Nichia is currently on sale at gearbest for $11. I can't comment on it too much since I just ordered it last night, but from what I've read, it's a solid little light.

Nitecore Tube is a solid little keychain light in your budget.

All three lights are superior at least on par to your S***HK.

If you are willing to go to $20, the Atactical A1 is probably one of the best bang for buck all in one lights around righnow.

u/Argosy37 · 11 pointsr/bikecommuting

I usually find the Google maps estimate a bit generous - on a 25-minute estimate I might get 20 minutes, and ride 14-18mph on an upright hybrid. I know some people here on their road bikes ride faster.

Safety-wise, I actually would say your vest is even more important than lights. I personally prefer these straps. I've been using them for over 2 years. They light up like day, and don't overheat you in the summer like a full vest would while allowing you to layer multiple coats in the winter.

A nice 1000+lumen front light is another must - you want to not only be seen but in dark conditions to be able to see hazardous objects on the road, particularly a country road. This is the light I've been using for over 2 years (plus backup batteries to easily swap out), but anything bright will do. I prefer steady beam on my front light rather than having it blink - again for visibility.

For rear lights you (again) want something very bright and visible from far away, but that blinks. This is the one that I use, but again anything bright is good.

Good luck out there!

u/shesaidgoodbye · 8 pointsr/running

REFLECTIVE VEST
=========

I got a reflective vest for running in the pre-dawn and finally tested it out yesterday morning. My initial plan was to take the vest and my new headlamp and go on my first early run outside of my neighborhood (I live in a rural area so once I leave my neighborhood there are no street lights.) I woke up a little later than I planned and I decided that the lamp would be overkill.

The vest is a Tuvizo that I got on Amazon. The product details claim that you can be spotted by a driver from 500 yards away.

Overall, I like the vest a lot. It's visible and sturdy while still being lightweight and not having a lot of extraneous fabric. Effective, but simple. On the inside back of the vest is a tag where you can write your ID information. The vest came in yellow ($12.99) and pink ($11.99.)

The only downside was that I would occasionally notice it bouncing while I ran. It wasn't terrible, I kept thinking that it was my headphone cord (despite the fact that I didn't wear headphones.) I don't think I can comfortably make it much tighter around my waist, but it is very adjustable, so I am going to play with the vertical strap lengths on future runs and see if wearing it higher or lower will help.

u/kevik72 · 7 pointsr/gifs

Is this the same stuff?

u/[deleted] · 6 pointsr/NoStupidQuestions

Depending on the boots you might be able to get them resoled. If not, then try something more flexible than epoxy.

Edit: I found this on Amazon

u/sempersexi · 6 pointsr/Ultralight

I purchased:

u/ryaninwi · 5 pointsr/bicycling

I've used Chamois Butt'r and DZ Nuts and liked them both, but the Chamois Butt'r was more cost effective (I purcahsed the DZ Nuts on clearance, so it was cost effective that one time), so that's what I've stuck with since it does the job. I'm sure others will comment on what brand they use as well, perhaps there is an even more cost effective option out there.

u/peppersnail · 5 pointsr/cycling

This:

Assos Chamois Cream (4.73 oz.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O19E2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.4o4xbTV24VJJ

Or this:

DZNuts Pro Chamois Cream, 4 ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C6DIF0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L5o4xbK4GGFY7

Because the names are amusing. Also, long distance cyclists in particular can always use more chamois cream.

I've never used Assos, but the DZNuts stuff is my favorite.

u/wuu · 5 pointsr/XXRunning

I've been runing at night for a while now. I've actually grown really fond of it. I have a reflective harness and some blinky lights that I clip to it (one front, one back). I don't like headlamps and prefer to just enjoy the night.

As far as safety goes, I'm way more worried about cars hitting me than I am about people bothering me. That said I stick to populated areas. I don't run on any trails or long stretches of road that don't have any houses on them.

u/Tri0ptimum · 4 pointsr/vaporents

The EQ is great, but the bags have no mouthpiece (you have to pinch a tube shut and hold it shut, or use a clip or jame osmething in the tube like a pencil eraser), so get a camelback bite valve for them, it goes on the end of the tube and only releases vapor when bit on pinched. I think people pinch it lightly and bring it up to their lips. This is the one, AFAIK:

https://smile.amazon.com/Camelbak-Big-Bite-Valve-Blue/dp/B0019DCVTA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486214834&sr=8-3&keywords=camelbak+bite

Use elbow pack method (google or search the sub) to increase vapor production, and for replacement bags use turkey oven food safe bags. Search the sub reddit for the vape name, for more tips :). It's not as easy to load or clean as the Volcano, but it's not tough; the parts you'll be cleaning are glass, so some brushes and isopropyl alcohol are all you need. Extra glass parts (bowls) are easily available and cheap.

Strictly speaking the volcano classic with easy valve will meet your needs best though; it has a great bag and mouthpiece system and is easy to keep clean. You can find them used for $2-400. Extra cartridges for the volcano have to be bought with the bags and are about $100 (easy or solid valve kits), unless you can find them used.

u/illest219 · 4 pointsr/EDC

I'm Big on EDC stuff, so my suggestions are up to the persons tatses. I would suggest a NiteCore Tube which I have on two of my keychains.

u/DPDragon · 4 pointsr/UMF

Walmart has some in the camping/outdoors section, as I'm sure any sports authority or sports stores would have them as well. This is mine which has one pocket for the bladder (which I put the rest of my stuff in there in a gallon ziploc bag) and a tiny pocket useful for like keys or gum or unimportant stuff. Camelbaks are allowed and don't have to follow the one pocket rule, but they can't be backpacks like this.

u/GoWithTheEbbAndFlow · 4 pointsr/running

I basically have three winter outfits, but always run with this because of the low light.

the outfits are "Cold", "Very Cold", and "Fuck Me It's Cold."

Cold - Nike Cool compression pants, wicking t-shirt, bright yellow sweatshirt, maybe cotton gloves.

Very Cold - Nike Warm compression pants, wicking t-shirt, long sleeve cotton shirt, bright yellow sweatshirt, vented "helmet hat", wind proof gloves

Fuck Me It's Cold - Nike Stay warm compression pants underneath fleece lined running pants, wicking t-shirt, long sleeve cotton shirt, bright yellow sweatshirt, neck gator, winter hat, glove liners, and wind proof gloves.

The Fuck Me It's Cold outfit has only been tested to 0 fahrenheit this winter, or -19 celsius. Will need to improve it for anything below that.

I live in the state of Vermont, which I believe is pretty comparable to Sweden for winters. And I use Yak Tracs when it's icy/snowy.

u/sabatoa · 4 pointsr/running

I few weeks ago I picked up a hydration pack for my long runs for super cheap on Amazon, and after a couple of runs I can say that it's my best non-shoe running purchase and it was under $20 when I bought it. I can't wear it for my goal HM race, but at least there will be aid stations on the course.

u/agiraffes · 4 pointsr/HangoutFest

I ended up getting this one.

u/risquare · 3 pointsr/bikecommuting

These look like the bands I use. Mine are several years old and were called [something] "formerly known as owl bands." (These are the same price and look the same, so I'm fairly confident they are the ones.)

They're superbright when lights hit them, but far less annoying than blinkies (though I use those as well, and sometimes mix and match).

I wear these around my ankles when biking and around my arms when on foot. They fit into a pocket easily.

https://www.amazon.com/Leg-Shield-Reflective-Ankle-Bands/dp/B00L0H4GJ8/

Highly recommend!

Trailer hitch rack will cost more with additional hitch mount, but less likely to damage your car. And frankly I like the look better too. Just search for trailer hitch for your car model – this seems to be the cheapest one. You also have the options to have hanging rack or wheel-support rack.

Allen hitch rack – hanging

Allen hitch rack – wheel-support

u/cloudyskies41 · 3 pointsr/aves

Ah I see, you might consider investing in a Camelbak brand water pack. There's a lot of knockoffs out there that skimp out on materials to reduce the price, but you definately get what you pay for.

Couldn't be happier with mine.

EDIT: This is the one I've been using. 3 years and still going strong.

u/eitaklou · 3 pointsr/running

Don't know if male or female, but I got this awesome shirt, and I feel like a disco ball in it! I also wear a reflective vest with a white light on front, and blinking red on the back for added visibility. I run on moderately busy city street/trails with plenty of other people, but I feel like you can never be too visible. You can also buy little clip on magnetic LED blinking lights that you can slap on your hat/shirt collar/pack/shoes/whatever.

u/locarbsugarcubes · 3 pointsr/cycling

There's two options in the hitch-realm.

  1. Tray-style like this which is what I recommend, especially if you have a carbon-frame bike where resting the bike on the top-tube is ill-advised. I have this one but I think any similar would work just the same. Love the rack, only fixes I've needed after two years is some touch-up paint and a new corrosion-free cotter pin.
  2. Arm-style like this which is great if you need to carry more than two bikes, but again not advised for higher-end bikes. Benefit is that you can buy conversion kits to allow you to carry skis/snowboards and kayaks.

    With both, find something that's going to allow you to tilt or swing the rack away from the hatch so you can open the trunk without removing the bikes.

    I can't speak to locking style - I would never leave my bike on the rack regardless of the lock. Any thief will be able to thwart whatever you're going to throw out there. I'll take my bike into the local 7-11 if I'm parking for 5 minutes. It's too simple to just lift and run.

This stuff is way better than shoe goo. Used it on Xero Hana's and it stays good with the flex they have, I also used it on a pair of clipless cycling shoes when a whole back part of the heel came off and it's still holding a year and a half later so I think that is a pretty good endorsement of its strength. As far as technique I'd say apply to the rubber as much as you think you can in a smooth layer with out it soaking through the fabric, then stand on it for a minute to press the two pieces together and then let them cure completely for an 8 hour period before wearing them again.

Hey that's great! These stops will be a perfect spot to take a break, hydrate and get a quick snack. You should definitely make this trip a goal. I love riding long distances on my bicycle. It's a great way to get into shape, even if you find you prefer other exercises later in life, cycling is a great place to start exercising. One thing that will help you is an anti-chaffing salve. There's a bunch out there, but I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQV05Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_EQjXCb3WGQ20B

u/SgtBaxter · 3 pointsr/cycling

Saris bones is awesome.

If you're on a budget, I can say from experience the Allen MT-1 is also fantastic, and folds up ultra compact so you can just toss it in your trunk.

Only holds one bike however, the Allen MT-2 holds 2.

u/AnOldBlur · 3 pointsr/boostedboards

Here's what I have-

Backpack: https://www.dakine.com/en-us/bags/backpacks/street-backpacks/mission-25l-backpack-17w/

Helmet: https://triple8.com/product/the-certified-sweatsaver/?category_name=skate

Shoes: https://www.vans.com/shop/suede-canvas-old-skool#hero=0

Pads: https://triple8.com/product/saver-series-3-pack-box/?category_name=skate

I only used all of the pads for about the first week or so, but I still wear the wrist guards-they've prevented serious injuries!

​

Board light (tail of the board): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015IEJ0GC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Board light #2 (front of the board): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015IFA03I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Front Backpack light (goes on my backpack strap, or hooked to my jacket on my forward facing shoulder): https://www.olightstore.com/h1r-cool-white.html

Back Backpack light (goes around my backpack): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1SM2NQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The board lights aren't super bright, they're mostly so people can see what I'm riding. The O light makes riding at night very safe, and my back light has great visibility.

As for tools, I carry my skate tool and a couple of hexes, and some spare belts. I have a charger I leave in my office and one in my backpack all the time.

​

Hope this helps!

If they were fine on the first day then it could just be chafing. Maybe try bodyglide or some other anti chafe cream. The cycling community swears by gooch guard and other similar products.

I've been using Petzl Tikka headlamps for years, both at work and for running, and they're great. 3 or 4 AAA batteries and you're good to go.

Also, if you're gonna run in the dark, get one of these:

Of course!

Selecting a hydration pack can vary based on what you want to do with it.

The pack I have on in the picture is one that is designed for ultra running and can carry a 3-liter water bladder(I only had a 2 liter one in yesterday) plus 2 water bottles for quick access and its still a full backpack in the back for food med kit etc. Honestly, it's more space than I use but I had it leftover from my days of ultra running so I figured I'd use it.

First, decide how much water you need to carry and how much other stuff. This will help you decide on the bag. The nice thing about Longboarding is you don't have to worry about the constant bounce your body makes from running when it comes to bag fit.

If you want super nice and expensive running bags that fit great google the brands Ultraspire, Ultimate direction, and Nathan Sports. I've used and owned various running packs from these companies and they were all great.

That being said most people don't want to spend $60-150 on a hydration vest or pack. I totally get that. The good news is the knock off market has caught up in the last 7 years so you can get good fitting bags that are similar to those brands but way cheaper.

If I had to buy a new bag right now this is one I would consider:

https://smile.amazon.com/TANLUHU-Breathable-Water-Resistant-Lightweight-Adjustable/dp/B0759Y6TDS/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=hydration+vest&qid=1563820225&s=gateway&sr=8-9

Bag 2:
Here are some other ones that look good as well:
https://smile.amazon.com/IBTXO-Hydration-Outdoors-Backpack-Marathon/dp/B07RFLJN8Y/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=hydration+vest&qid=1563820225&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Bag 3:
https://smile.amazon.com/IBTXO-Hydration-Backpack-Marathoner-Black-Only/dp/B07P8H6RC3/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=hydration+vest&qid=1563820225&s=gateway&sr=8-11

I personally would avoid bags like this one:
https://smile.amazon.com/Hydration-Backpack-Pack-Free-Bladder/dp/B015GONGTG/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=hydration+bag&qid=1563821091&s=gateway&sr=8-10

The reason why is that it has no waist strap so It will flop around a lot more. That and the straps are very skinny and can dig into the skin over a long period.

Use the search term Hydration Vest to find nice fitting ones like the ones I've recommended. And the things I look for with fit are

  1. wide shoulder straps
  2. Pockets in the front shoulder and waist straps
  3. A chest strap and a waist strap or 2 chest straps on certain vest models.

    I hope this helps. If you have questions or need any more help feel free to reach out to me!
    I am happy to share my hands-on experience with hydration packs.

I go between DZ Nutz and Podium for most days. The DZ nuts seems to heal stuff a little better, the podium has better staying power.

sorry to resuscitate an old-ish thread, but i'm about to buy a new pack of these slap-bracelet lights - I bought them to give away to un-lit bikers at Burning Man and found them nice and bright. Easy to wear on your wrists or ankles, and the LED's are replaceable too.

I really like @bk7j 's suggestion of fairy lights! Another way to light your wheels too: zip-tie glowstick-shaped LED's to your spokes. I got these by NiteIze - they're also replaceable-battery.

I like Nathan HPL 020 hydration vest. I've worn it on 6-hour hike/running tours without any issues: no chafing, no discomfort of any sort. My only wish is that it had more webbing on the outside to allow for stuffing more gear into it, but, as it is, it keeps me from packing too much stuff on day hikes.

u/CascadeWarrior · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I bought this reflective ankle band. I haven't worn them at night yet because it's much too cold, but having reflectors on a shoe or leg will be much more noticeable since it's moving, compared to a static reflective panel on a back of a jacket.

Edit: Also, at least where I live a white front light and a red rear light is required by law at nighttime.

u/jiffwaterhaus · 2 pointsr/Fitness

This and this would work well too. The first one's great for long distances where you need like 10 canteens. The second is better if you don't want to look silly.

u/zorkmids · 2 pointsr/running

A SPIbelt is very handy. For cooler weather, maybe a pair of gloves, an ear warmer, or a vest. For night running, maybe some reflective gear (I like the Amphipod Xinglet ) or a head lamp.

u/parasiteartist · 1 pointr/triathlon

I usually stand out as I use mine whenever I run and sometimes when I bike. A lot of people don't like them since it traps heat on your back.

I ran a marathon with it strapped on me as I don't like belts. I now have the Nathan HPL 020 for long runs. Haven't used it for long bikes yet but I'm also not opposed to the idea. I would only be worried about it running out of water and not being easy to refill.

u/mesohungry · 1 pointr/running

I've been running for years and just started running with the Nathan HPL 020. I just ran 16 miles with it. It's incredibly lightweight and stable. There's enough room in it to carry a rain jacket, cell phone, keys and ID. You might be able to get your shoes in there. Definitely your shin guards.

u/Arve · 1 pointr/running

Running with a backpack is always a compromise of some sort. For instance: Do you need to carry water in addition to your clothing? If so, the backpack is going to be bigger, and is inevitably going to bounce around, regardless of any chest straps.

If you don't need to carry water, how many items of clothing will you need to bring, and what is the smallest backpack that will accomodate it?

Myself, I've solved it the following way: I leave my laptop and clothes in the office, and come in the next day in a fresh set of clothes, and bring the change and shoes from the day before back home the next day in a regular backpack, which I left in the office the day before. My run home from work is 15.5 km, and during summer, I need to have extra hydration, which I carry in a hydration pack/race vest.

Hydration packs are a bit of pot luck, though. I've tried on many of them before buying, and I've never liked the Camelbak's I've tried - they have either felt too small, too large, too constricting or too bouncy for me, and I've had similar experience with many other brands. What I eventually settled on was a Nathan HPL #020 (Amazon affiliate link, in case you don't want to click any of those). It's a trail/ultra vest that has a removable 2 litre (67 oz) hydration bladder. It also has three additional pockets - 2 on the front, 1 on the back that are big enough to carry all the small items I need to bring (keys, wallet, phone), and one of Nathan's own small water bottles. The nice thing about that pack is that as long as I have fastened the chest strap, and adjusted it properly, it doesn't bounce at all (in any direction). If you take out the bladder, it may accomodate a lighter pair of pants and a t-shirt, and a light jacket fits externally in a shock cord.

u/EMTsNightmare · 1 pointr/bicycling

I think it's the older version of the Allen Sports Ultra compact bike rack no profit link

But I bought it last summer and swear I paid less than the $56 they are asking for now. The only issue I have with it is that I haven't been able to get it to sit perfectly vertical on my car so the bike water bottle cages end up leaning against the central support. But I've driven a few hundred miles with my bikes on the car and haven't had any problems with it.

u/Last_Rogue · 1 pointr/bicycling

For more comfortable, I would consider buying a rear fender. At least you won't get the mud trail up your back when you bike in the rain/slush.

For safer, I would buy yourself a high visibility vest, like this. Do you own a helmet? You should get one of those as well.

Not the biggest but light enough where you can jump and dance with a full pack of water. I suggest buying extra mouth pieces as well, just in case. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G46CY08/ref=twister_B00J08KDTQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

If you're just looking for water + small storage(like 1 pocket). Look into a camelbak.

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Camelbak-Products-Classic-Hydration-70-Ounce/dp/B00G46CY08/

It's even small enough to wear under your jacket. Stays close to your body so you don't feel like anything is really sticking out and throwing you off balance.

I don't know if you've got the space or care to carry the weight, but you might want to look into carrying a compact bike rack. I don't use this for hitchhiking but I have used it to carry my bike many miles on the interstate. That'd definitely open up your options if people are willing.

This is one I've had for about a year now. it's about 6-7 lbs and can fold into a backpack

u/oldskooldork23 · 1 pointr/washingtondc

Yes, absolutely! If you are running in the dark I definitely suggest you afford yourself any safety precautions you can; drivers in DC seemingly give as little of a shit about pedestrians as possible, so I light myself up like a Christmas tree to visually scream my presence at every crosswalk.

For darkness runs I usually have a reflector belt on around my waist, though there's full body versions and even reflective jackets, and then I also have two reflectors hanging off the back of my Camelback bag. For lights, I'll either wear a headlamp, or when I don't feel like looking like a coal miner, I use the flashlight function on my Apple Watch on one wrist and one of these LED bracelets on the other. I will say if you sweat a lot (probably more of a summer time issue tbh), the LED bracelets aren't super water proof and tend to die in a month or two. There's other wearable light options out there too of course.
