LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
Runners have it tough when daylight diminishes. They want to get their miles in, but jogging in the dark can be dangerous. Brooks has come out with a Nightlife line of products ranging from a $10 L.E.D. sensor or bands, to clothes, $26-$80, in high-visibility
yellow fabric and Scotchlite reflective details. The fabric is also breathable and jackets are wind- and water-resistant. Among the cooler details? The flashing L.E.D. light on the back of the yellow cap, $24. For stores or online sales information, visit brooksrunning.com

FLOCK TOGETHER
