I ordered this vest hoping to use it for my early morning and late evening runs. I was disappointed. As soon as I tried it on I realized it was not going to work for me. The straps that fasten under your arms are right in the normal range of motion when I run (and will probably be for most runners). This means you're constantly rubbing and scraping against them, which drove me nuts.
Also, the vest is very short in length (which you can't really judge from the picture online). For a medium to large size/framed individual, this vest will look quite small on you.
Bottom line: I do not recommend this vest for runners (or walkers for that matter), unless you enjoy having the underside of your arms scraped each time you swing them in a normal range of motion.

the vest appears large in the pictures, however it actually comes to a little bit below the chest and seems small when worn i'm 5-9'. I run 4-5 days a week at night and it doesn't hamper your stride, breathes fine and auto traffic seems to respond well. The front pocket is definitly a plus to keep your gel packs or ID handy.Best Deals for Nathan Night Fall
I think is the worst item that I bought at amazon ever.In description doesn't say any measurement of the vest... when you say "one size fits all" you think in a item that can fit all kind of person. The item looks like a vest for a 5 years orl children. Think if you are a very tall and big person (i'm XXL shirt size) how you can see when you dress the vest.
Additionally, it is the first time that I received an item and it arrived damaged, with the zipper broken and the package open.
DON'T BUY THIS ITEM.
Honest reviews on Nathan Night Fall
It's smaller than it looks in the picture but it does its job. I wear it on the outside of my coat and it comes down to about my mid chest. It reflects light and makes me visible to cars at night when I go for my walks. I'm glad I bought this product.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Nathan Night Fall
Several people complain on the size. This is not supposed to reach your waist. It is intended to go slightly past your rib cage. That being said, the fit is very good. The bands on the side allow you to cinch it up so it does not flop. In addition, it has clips to hold the stap ends so that they don't hit your arms and you swing back and forth.I noticed on the very first run that on coming cars were reacting to my presence way in advance. This vest offers plenty of visibility while still being plenty configurable and breathable.
One thing to note, the front pocket is a great add, but not suited for everything. It would be fine to carry ID, cash, key, etc. Maybe even gel packs or shot blocks could go there too. However, and no fault of the vest, just the nature of running mechanics, it is not suited for heavier items. I ran once with my iPhone in the pocket and it bounced up and down on the area just below my ribs. It wasn't horrible, but a bit of a nuisance. I will go back to phone in Spibelt, which doesn't move an inch.
In summary.... THIS VEST IS PERFECT FOR RUNNING!
UPDATE: Have worn it on several runs now. If you do not use the front pockets, you will not notice it is on. It is that steamlined and comfortable. If you were to rate this as a vest not having a pocket, it would be perfect. Therefore, I bumped my rating from 4 to 5 stars. If you are looking for something with a pocket, it is not perfect, since the pocket is limited to very light things, or you feel bouncing, as I stated before. But, if like me, you have some other means of carrying your stuff, or don't carry stuff, this is great for running.
