3 mile trail run in the pitch black of early morning. First trial of the Kogalla light stytem, which you can see on the front of my shirt. It throws off great light, no need to wear a head lamp with it, the arc of light is 120 degrees and it throws it comfortably far enough ahead that I had no concerns - it felt like my own little street light, and I could look all around me at my surroundings - nice. Wearing it is a bit awkward. In this pic it is attached to the magnetic back it comes with that I placed on the inside of my shirt. It didn’t chafe or irritate me while running. Then there is also the battery pack that it is attached to that is about the size of a pack of long cigarettes. I ran the cord behind me and put the pack in my side running tight pocket - no issues with it (I wear Saucony bullet tights so I have 2 side pockets and a back zip pocket). I also didn't’t have any issues with it tangling with Graces waist leash. It does come with velcro that you can then use to attach it to other things and I think I’ll fashion a waist band to velcro it to.
All in all, I felt fully comfortable in the darkest morning running on trail and not just flat gravel trail like above - there’s plenty of light for technical trail running in the dark. It was really lovely being able to look around at the trees and creek and not just have to stare at the ground right on front of me which I’ve had to do with headlamps.
