I am really happy to see some more reviews. I love hearing your take on different products and your blog was one of my motivations to start running more often and longer. I will definitely be ordering the Stuffitts. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Just reviewed the STUFFITTS on my (French) website (http://www.wanarun.net/blog/st…. Deadly efficient !!! A very good product indeed. Use them everyday in my Kinvara.

Great review! I can't wait to try my Yurbuds =)

I guess I'm just really cheap, but I'm going to guess that it's much more cost-effective to just make chocolate milk and add some whey protein (from one of those big ol' drums) yourself.

Then again, I make my own GU substitute, so...right. Cheap. :)

Well thanks Pete... I ordered both the Stuffitts and the Yurbuds LOL. I've never been able to use the Apple earbuds, even the older style, without having them drop out of my ears after just a couple minutes of running so I'll be eager to give the Yurbuds a try!

Thanks for the reviews Pete! Any idea which Stuffitt would be best used with a pair of VFF Bikilas?

As a highway construction engineer for the DOT I get to work in traffic all day. It's made very aware how dangerous traffic can be at any time. You don't see a lot of runners with side-view mirros so have to rely on sound. You simply have to hear the traffic when you're out running. I do like running to music/podcasts so this is what I do: I run with only one earbud. I set the iPod output to mono so I get both channels of sound. I also keep the volume turned up so it's just audible in traffic. Just my 2 cents.

Aaron,

I'm usually able to run mostly on sidewalks since I live in a residential
area, so that helps, and whenever on the road I try to run on the left side
of the road so that I can see oncoming traffic. Only close call I have had
was on a one lane bridge when some guy tried to cross at the same time as
another car (and me on foot). I never wear headphones when running at night
so that I can be more aware of traffic.

Pete, do you have any thoughts about safely running with headphones? I've always figured for running on the street it's much safer to be able to hear oncoming traffic.

Chris,

I find that a size medium Stuffit works well in my size 41 VFFs.
