ProtectX High Visibility Long Sleeve Safety T-Shirt - Class 2/3

Our review of the ProtectX Men's High Visibility Heavy Duty Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt concludes it is a practical choice for workers who need certified, all-day visibility without sacrificing comfort. The single biggest reason to buy is its compliance with ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2, paired with 2 in reflective tape that gives clear 360-degree visibility for roadway, construction, traffic control, or emergency work. Fit and fabric balance protection and breathability so it works across seasons for active outdoor tasks.

Key Features

• Certified visibility: Meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 standards for high-risk roadside and traffic environments, ensuring consistent compliance on site.
• 360-degree reflectivity: 2 in wide retroreflective tape on front, back, and arms provides reliable nighttime and low-light visibility from all directions.
• Heavy-duty fabric: Constructed from 150g polyester birdseye mesh that resists wear while remaining soft against the skin for extended shifts.
• Moisture management: Fast-drying, moisture-wicking fabric with four-way stretch helps keep the wearer cool in summer and layers comfortably in cooler weather.
• Practical design: Long sleeves protect against sun and debris and a chest pocket keeps small tools, ID, or a pen secure during work.
• Durable construction: Double-stitched edges, hems, and pocket corner add reinforcement where shirts often fail on job sites.

Who It's For

The ProtectX safety T-shirt is best for traffic guards, road crews, first responders, security personnel, and construction workers who need certified high-visibility apparel with breathable performance for active work. It also suits cyclists, runners, and landscapers who prioritize visibility plus a lightweight, stretchable fit.

Those who need a heavy outer layer for cold-weather work, or who want extremely rugged abrasion- or tear-resistant outerwear for demolition, should look at insulated or reinforced jackets instead; this shirt is designed primarily as a breathable, visible base or mid layer.
