Mens Surveyors Vest Class 2 Hi-Vis Lime Black - 10 Pockets

In this review the Kishigo Premium Black Series Mens Surveyors Vest S5002 is evaluated for jobsite visibility and practical storage. The bottom line: this vest is aimed at construction and roadwork professionals who need ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 compliance plus organized pockets for tools. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of certified high-visibility materials and an unusually large, well thought out pocket layout that keeps essential gear reachable without adding bulk.

Key Features

• ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 compliance: Provides the required day and night visibility with 2in reflective material laminated onto 3in contrasting bands so users meet safety standards on the job.
• Extensive storage: Ten pockets, including a 2-tier left chest pocket and a large right chest gusseted pocket, keep hand tools, markers, and small devices organized and accessible.
• Durable construction: Solid polyester front and heavy-duty bottom construction resist wear from daily use on worksites.
• Cooling mesh back: Ultra-lightweight mesh backing helps ventilation and reduces overheating during long outdoor shifts.
• Padded neck: Built-in padded neck adds comfort when wearing the vest over layers or for extended periods.
• Hidden back pouch: Bonus hidden back pouch with dual zipper access offers secure storage for maps or documents.

Who It's For

This vest is well suited for construction workers, surveyors, utility crews, and road maintenance teams who need certified visibility and a practical way to carry tools and cans. The mix of chest, stake, spray paint, and zippered pockets makes it handy when climbing ladders, managing flagging duties, or working roadside.

Those who work exclusively indoors where high-visibility certification is unnecessary, or users who want a minimalist single-pocket safety vest, should look elsewhere. It is designed for people who need multiple pockets and durability rather than ultra-light minimalism.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Stitched reflective bands deliver reliable visibility meeting ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class 2 requirements.
• Ample, well-placed pockets including dual chest pockets and interior zippered storage for secure tool organization.
• Comfort-minded details like lightweight mesh back and padded neck make it wearable during hot shifts.
• Robust build quality and heavy-duty bottom section for improved durability in outdoor conditions.

Cons

• Heavier and more feature rich than basic safety vests, so it may feel bulky for users who prefer minimal gear.
• Color scheme is lime and black, which is functional but less visible at extreme angles than full-lime panels.
