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

In this review of the ProtectX Men's High Visibility Heavy Duty Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt we look at who will benefit most and the single biggest reason to buy: dependable visibility and comfortable wear for long shifts. The shirt meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 standards and combines wide 2' retroreflective tape with breathable heavy-duty birdseye mesh, making it a practical choice for roadway workers, traffic control, and other high-risk outdoor roles where 360-degree conspicuity matters.

Key Features

• ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2: Certified reflective placement provides 360-degree visibility suited to roadway, traffic control, and public safety environments.
• 2' Wide Retroreflective Tape: Front, back and arm placement helps make the wearer visible in low light and moving-vehicle situations.
• 150 g Polyester Birdseye Mesh: Heavy duty yet breathable fabric balances durability with ventilation for long shifts.
• Moisture Wicking, Fast-Drying Fabric: Keeps skin drier and more comfortable in hot or active conditions.
• Long Sleeve with Chest Pocket: Sleeve coverage protects from sun and abrasion while a pocket secures small tools and ID.
• Reinforced Stitching: Double-stitched hem and pocket corners aim to extend garment life under regular work use.

Who It's For

The ProtectX high visibility shirt is best for construction workers, road crews, traffic controllers, first responders and anyone who needs certified reflective apparel for roadside or high-traffic environments. It is suitable for both men and women and works well for active outdoor roles where breathability and visibility are required together.

Those who need heavy-duty tear-resistant outerwear or insulated protection in extreme cold should look elsewhere; this shirt is designed as a high-visibility base or mid layer rather than a hardwearing outer shell for demolition work or as winter gear.
