High Visibility Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt - Class 2-3 This

In this review of the High Visibility Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt the bottom line is clear: this shirt is for workers who need certified visibility and breathable comfort on long shifts. It meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 standards and uses 2' wide retroreflective tape for reliable 360-degree visibility, which is the primary reason to buy. The shirt balances durability and all-day wearability with a heavy-duty birdseye mesh fabric and moisture-wicking stretch that keeps users comfortable in a variety of weather.

Key Features

• Certified Visibility: 2' wide ANSI certified retroreflective tapes on the front, back and arms provide excellent 360-degree visibility in low light and high traffic zones.
• Heavy-Duty Fabric: Made from 150g 100% polyester birdseye mesh, the fabric feels substantial and resists rapid wear while remaining breathable.
• Comfortable Performance: Moisture wicking and fast-drying construction with 4-way stretch helps keep the wearer cool in summer and layered in cooler months.
• Practical Design: Long sleeves protect against sun and debris and a chest pocket offers a handy place for a pen, ID or small tools during a shift.
• Reinforced Construction: Double-stitched edge, hem and pocket corner improve seam strength where shirts often fail.

Who It's For

The shirt is ideal for roadway crews, traffic control, first responders, construction and similar roles where ANSI Type R Class 2 protection is required and a breathable, long-sleeve option is preferred. It also works well for cycling, running or outdoor work where visibility and ventilation both matter.

Those who need a lightweight, disposable-style safety tee or who require extremely rugged outerwear for abrasive demolition may want to consider heavier jacket options instead, since feedback on long-term durability is mixed and some users reported the material showed wear sooner than expected.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Sizing runs inconsistently for some customers, with a few reporting the shirt runs small compared with usual sizes.
