In this review of the Reflective Vest Class 2 Safety Vests ANSI with Pockets Zipper, the bottom line is simple: this vest is a practical, work-ready option for people who need clear daytime and low-light visibility plus functional storage. The design delivers a Class 2 level of reflectivity with 360 degree visibility, a heavy duty metal zipper for easy on and off, and multiple pockets for tools and personal items. It suits workers, volunteers, and outdoor exercisers who prioritize safety and utility over fashion.

Key Features

• Custom LOGO: One-piece customization is available so a logo, picture or text can be printed when you order a single vest, useful for small teams or branded safety gear.
• High Visibility Material: Constructed from Class 2 Type R reflective material that meets ANSI standards, it improves visibility under daylight and low light conditions for safer work around traffic or equipment.
• Zipper Closure: The metal zipper is heavy duty and speeds up dressing and removal compared with hook-and-loop closures, especially when wearing gloves.
• Multiple Pockets: Four or five front pockets store essentials such as a phone, cards, pen and small tools, keeping frequently used items within easy reach.
• Interphone D-Ring: A D-ring on the upper left allows an interphone, mic or lanyard to hang securely and stay accessible during tasks.

Who It's For

This vest is aimed at construction crews, traffic controllers, surveyors, volunteers and security staff who need ANSI Class 2 visibility and practical storage on the job. It also suits runners, walkers and outdoor workers who want a lightweight, breathable polyester vest with reflective stripes for added safety.
