High-Visibility Color: Orange is another highly visible color, often preferred in specific industries or situations. It ensures the wearer is easily seen, both in daylight and low-light conditions.
Reflective Tape: Just like the lime vest, it will have reflective tape (typically silver) strategically placed to reflect light and maximize visibility in low-light or nighttime conditions. The width and placement of the tape will influence its reflectivity and compliance with specific safety standards.
Material: Usually made from a lightweight, breathable polyester mesh material. This keeps the wearer cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather. Sometimes, it might have a black or contrasting trim for increased durability and a more finished appearance.
Closure: A zip closure is common for easy on and off. Some vests might use Velcro or other fastening systems.
ID Pouch: Many value reflective vests include a clear ID pouch, allowing workers to display their identification or permits easily.
Protection Rating/Class: Check the specifications. It’s likely to be rated as a Class 2 or Class 3 vest, depending on the amount of reflective material and its configuration. Class 2 is common for many industries, while Class 3 offers higher visibility and is often required for more hazardous situations.
Sizes: Available in a range of sizes to fit different body types.
