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

Our review of this High Visibility Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt finds it best suited for workers who need certified, allaround visibility and practical durability on the job. The single biggest reason to buy is its compliance with ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2, which means the shirt is designed for roadway, traffic control and other high-risk environments where 360-degree visibility matters. It balances certified safety features with a heavier birdseye mesh fabric that aims to stay comfortable over long shifts.

Key Features

• ANSI Certified Visibility: 2 in wide retroreflective tapes on front, back and arms deliver excellent 360-degree visibility for night and low-light conditions.
• Durable Fabric: Made of 150g heavy-duty 100% polyester birdseye mesh, the material resists wear while remaining relatively lightweight for the weight class.
• All Day Comfort: Moisture wicking, fast-drying and breathable 4-way stretch fabric helps keep the wearer cool in summer and layered comfortably in cooler weather.
• Practical Design: Long sleeves protect from sun and minor abrasions while a chest pocket stores small essentials like a pen, ID or keys.
• Solid Construction: Double-stitched hem, pocket corner and edges increase seam strength for repeated use on the jobsite.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at traffic guards, road crews, first responders, construction and utility workers who must meet Type R Class 2 visibility requirements and want a garment that breathes during active shifts. It also suits cyclists, survey crews and anyone needing certified retroreflective coverage for roadside activities.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who need heavy thermal insulation, flame resistance, or significantly thicker abrasion protection; for those needs a high-visibility jacket with specialized protective ratings would be more appropriate.
