ProtectX Men's High Visibility Long Sleeve Safety T-Shirt - Class

Our review of the ProtectX Men's High Visibility Heavy Duty Long Sleeve Reflective Safety T-Shirt finds it best suited to workers who need ANSI-certified visibility without sacrificing breathability. The single biggest reason to buy is the clear emphasis on safety: ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 reflective tape placed on the front, back and arms gives consistent 360-degree visibility for roadway, traffic control and other high-risk environments. Cushioned by a heavy-duty 150g polyester birdseye mesh, the shirt balances durability with moisture-wicking comfort for long shifts.

Key Features

• ANSI certification: Meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 2 standards so users remain visible in low light and traffic situations.
• 360-degree reflectivity: Two-inch ANSI certified retroreflective tapes on front, back and arms provide consistent visibility from all angles.
• Durable fabric: Made of 150g heavy-duty 100% polyester birdseye mesh that stands up to repeated wear while keeping the garment lightweight.
• All day comfort: Moisture wicking, fast-drying fabric with 4-way stretch helps keep skin cool and dry on hot days and layers easily in cold weather.
• Thoughtful design: Long sleeves offer sun and abrasion protection and a convenient chest pocket stores small essentials like a pen, ID or keys.
• Reinforced construction: Double-stitched edges, hem and pocket corner improve seam longevity in demanding work conditions.

Who It's For

The shirt is aimed at traffic guards, road crews, first responders, construction and demolition workers, security personnel and anyone working near vehicle traffic who requires Class 2 visibility. Cyclists, runners and landscapers who want certified reflectivity and breathable fabric will also find it useful.

Those who need the highest highway-level visibility for high-speed roadways or who prefer heavyweight insulated outerwear for extreme cold should look elsewhere; this piece is optimized for breathability and midweight durability rather than heavy thermal insulation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

Specifications

The ProtectX long sleeve hi-vis shirt is a practical choice for workers who need ANSI-certified visibility combined with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric. It represents strong value for daytime and low-light work where certified reflectivity and comfort matter, though buyers should confirm sizing and expect midweight durability rather than heavyweight long-term wear.
