• GoMotion, manufacturer of wearable lighting systems for runners, walkers, hikers and anyone recreating outside after the sun goes down, has announced updates to its line and a new partnership with Revolution House Media to help increase brand recognition and visibility. Founded in 2006 by runners Jonathan Craig and Bob Hunnewell, GoMotion’s product line came from the need for a better evening running light. Unsatisfied with reflective vests and headlamps that were on the market, the two designed a lighting system that could be worn lower on the body, addressing many of the drawbacks of headlamps. Benefits of GoMotion’s wearable lights include improved stability, comfort, night vision, depth perception, peripheral vision and vision in precipitation.
