Buying guide
Choosing hi-vis gear
Hi-vis comes down to two questions: how visible do you need to be, and do you also need FR?
ANSI class
ANSI/ISEA 107 sets visibility classes. Class 2 garments have more reflective and fluorescent material than Class 1 and are common for road work and busy jobsites.
FR or non-FR
Standard hi-vis vests are polyester and aren't flame resistant. If you weld, cut or work around fire or arc hazards, choose an FR hi-vis garment.
Vest or jacket
Vests layer over anything and are easy to take on and off. Jackets add coverage and warmth.
Pockets
7-pocket vests carry radios, pens and tools. Standard vests are lighter and simpler.
Reference
ANSI/ISEA 107 classes
A simplified overview. Your employer or site sets the class you need.
| Class | Visibility | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Lowest | Low traffic areas away from roadways |
| Class 2 | Higher | Roadways, parking lots, busy jobsites |
| Class 3 | Highest | High speed traffic, low visibility, night work |
Important
Hi-vis doesn't mean FR
Most standard safety vests are made from polyester mesh, which can melt and stick to skin if it catches fire. If you work around sparks, flame or electrical arc, you need hi-vis gear that's also flame resistant.
Our 9 oz FR cotton jackets and vests combine reflective trim with FR protection, so you don't have to choose.
Be seen. Stay protected.
FAQ
Hi-vis questions
Which ANSI class do I need?
It depends on the work zone and traffic speed. Class 2 is common for roadways and busy sites. Your employer or site safety plan sets the requirement.
Can I wear a regular safety vest when welding?
Standard polyester vests aren't flame resistant and can melt. Choose an FR hi-vis garment for hot work.
Do hi-vis vests come in big sizes?
Yes. Many styles run up to 4XL or 5XL so they fit over jackets and layers.
Orange or lime?
Both are approved hi-vis colors. Pick the one that stands out best against your work environment, or follow your site's color rules.
