I compared five personal alarms on early-morning and evening runs to find which ones are loud, light, and easy to trigger with sweaty hands.

FAQs

How loud should a runner personal alarm be?

At least 120 decibels to be heard from across a parking lot. Four of my five test alarms hit 130 decibels, which is loud enough to make people stop and look.

Will rain ruin a personal alarm?

Most are splash resistant but not waterproof. I ran in light rain with all five and only one struggled. Check the IP rating before buying.
