![]() They’re wobbly and their programming options suck but most importantly their running surfaces are too small for regular-sized people - a fact that I can attest to, having tripped on my old budget treadmills on a handful of occasions. ![]() Don’t get me wrong - cheap treadmills are usually fine for power-walking and other light activities, but, unless you’re incredible petite or only doing some very light jogging, they’re hopeless. Why? Because, while my natural instinct is to always recommend affordable options, especially seeing as professional-grade treadmills can cost thousands, my past experience of investing in cheap treadmills with small running tracks runs completely counter to that instinct. We’ve got lists of budget treadmills, commercial-grade treadmills, folding treadmills and even treadmills for dogs.ĭuring this update, I made the difficult decision to remove a lot of the budget-friendly treadmills we had. If you don’t see anything that you like on this generalized list, you might find that you have better luck with one of our specialized sets of rankings. ![]() Lastly, we replaced the ProForm 2000 with the updated ProForm Smart Pro 2000, which has proven to be a well lauded model thus far. Instead, we added the OMA 6134EAI to our list, which impressed us with its 15-percent maximum incline and and 23-inch dot matrix screen. It was difficult for us to judge how long-term these issues would prove to be, as the last year has seen plenty of sporadic shortages for fitness equipment, but we decided to let these two go, to play it safe. We also eliminated the Sole Fitness F80 and Schwinn 830 due to availability concerns. Unfortunately, the Frogg Toggs Road Toad and Helly Hansen Potsdam were removed because of concerns about sufficient visibility features.After the last editor for this page cleaned out most of our budget picks, there wasn’t a lot of thinning out left for us to do, although we did consider removing the Exerpeutic TF1000 – which is only capable of speeds up to four miles per hour – but ultimately decided that there was no harm in including it at the bottom of our list, for the benefit of senior citizens and beginner exercisers who are interested in walking, but don’t expect to be progressing to running any time soon. New additions to this list include the Timberland Pro Work Sight and Caterpillar Softshell, which were picked out due to their popularity and quality construction. These jackets all meet American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, criteria for visibility and safety. But if you're looking for something a little bit less bulky, a safety vest might be a better answer for your needs. Elastic cuffs and hems are useful features to seek out if you know you'll be working in areas where windy and/or wet weather is expected. There are options made from weatherproof fabric and even stain-resistant material. All of the items in this list have reflective tape detailing, and most have pockets and loops for radios, walkie talkies, supplies, and the like. The jackets included here are mostly fluorescent yellow - one of the most visible colors in the spectrum - though there are a few orange options, too. ![]() Any individual who works in construction, transportation, or similar industries is likely to need a high visibility garment or two.
