Check visibility before you set off
Hi vis running vest with phone pocket
The Défi vest is a black phone-carrying running vest, not a high-visibility or reflective garment. If you need hi-vis clothing for a road or low-light route, choose suitable certified visibility gear separately and check the product details before purchase.

hi vis running vest with phone pocket
Guide / 01
Phone storage is not hi-vis protection
This product’s purpose is carrying a phone and small items. The black vest should not be treated as fluorescent, reflective or certified visibility clothing, and the phone pocket does not change that.
For darkness, poor weather or routes near traffic, choose visibility equipment appropriate to your needs. Read the garment’s own details rather than assuming a running vest is visible enough.
Guide / 02
The phone-pocket details
The vest has a zipped 20 × 13cm chest pocket for a phone and two 10 × 5cm zipped shoulder pockets for smaller items. Measure your phone with its case attached to check whether it fits.
- Unisex, one-size fit
- Adjustable waist belt: 26–40in
- Chest pocket: water-resistant, not waterproof

Choose equipment for the conditions
If you want phone storage and hi-vis clothing, treat those as separate requirements. You may choose to wear this phone vest with appropriate visibility gear, provided both fit comfortably and do not restrict movement.
Test your full set-up before a longer run. Check the pockets, adjust the waist belt over your layers and make sure any visibility items remain visible while moving.
