5 Safety Products You Don’t Own Yet (But Should)
When it comes to safety, most runners own a reflective vest or personal lights. However, there are some great—and discreet—products that extend beyond running that can keep you prepared to defend yourself at a time when you need it most. We found three new products that you probably don’t own yet—but should—to give yourself (and loved ones) peace of mind.
Just In Case Bra, $49.99
This bra isn’t your typical sports bra. It contains a compartment that is made specifically to hold pepper spray (they also make one that will hold a concealed knife) for easy access and to keep your hands free. It comes in five colors, so you’ll probably want to buy them all. boobytrapbras.com
Athena Safety Jewelry, $79
This little piece of jewelry packs a big punch. Created by ROAR for Good, you can wear it as a necklace, clip it to your purse or clip it to your shirt/pants and with the touch of a button, you have a personal alarm.

SABRE Runner Pepper Gel, $12.99
This safety gear fits in the palm of your hand for protection on the go. Pepper gel virtually eliminates airborne particles and wind blow-back, only affecting the target/person it directly contacts. These benefits make pepper gel ideal for outdoor use, with reduced chances of wind causing the spray to affect innocent parties, including the user. sabrered.com
