Hi Vis Long Sleeve Safety Shirt with Hood - ANSI Class 3

Our review of this high visibility long sleeve shirt finds it aimed at workers who need reliable daytime and low-light visibility without sacrificing comfort. The review highlights the shirt's breathable 100% micro-mesh polyester fabric and heat applied reflective tape as the single biggest reason to choose it: the material keeps you cool on long shifts while the taped 2-in reflective strips maintain shape and reflectivity after repeated washes. It is a practical three-pack option for road crews, construction and outdoor teams who value durability and visibility.

Key Features

• Breathable fabric: The 4.76 oz bird-eye knit polyester allows maximum airflow and temperature regulation for all-day wear in warm conditions.
• Heat applied tape: Durable reflective tape is applied with heat to resist fraying and preserve reflectivity through multiple washes.
• ANSI compliance: Meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R, Class 3 standards for high visibility when in approved colors, providing 360 degree reflective coverage.
• Thoughtful design: A front chest pocket gives convenient storage for small tools or pens while the black bottom half helps hide stains in active work environments.
• Sun protection: Long sleeves and an attached hood increase coverage to reduce sun exposure during long outdoor shifts.

Who It's For

The shirt is best for construction workers, road crews, utility workers, and anyone who spends long hours outdoors and needs Class 3 visibility and breathable fabric. It also suits activities like hiking, fishing, cycling, or forestry where reflective visibility and sun protection are useful.

Those who want a heavy insulated jacket for cold-weather work should look elsewhere, as this garment is a lightweight, breathable layer intended for ventilation and reflectivity rather than insulation.
