SKSAFETY 12 Pockets Professional Level Safety Vest - Class 2 Hi-Vis

Our review of the SKSAFETY 12 Pockets Professional level Safety Vest finds it aimed squarely at workers who need reliable daytime and low-light visibility plus practical storage. The biggest reason to consider this vest is its mix of reflective coverage and organized pocketing: 2 wide reflective tapes across shoulders, chest, waist and back plus multiple external and internal pockets make it a functional choice for construction, traffic control, or site supervisors. The vest balances durability with breathability by pairing Oxford cloth at the front and lightweight mesh at the back for extended on-site wear.

Key Features

• ANSI/ISEA Class 2 compliance: Provides professional level visibility meeting the 107-2020 Class 2 Type R standard for daylight and low-light work.
• High-visibility materials: Lime fabric with wide reflective silver tapes gives clear daytime contrast and strong reflection under vehicle lighting.
• Durable front construction: Oxford cloth front resists tears and abrasion to extend the vest's service life on tough jobsites.
• Breathable back panel: Lightweight mesh back keeps the wearer cool whether used alone or layered over other gear.
• Extensive pocketing: A dozen pockets including radio/utility pocket, pencil organizer, lower flap pockets and large inside pockets keep tools and documents secure and accessible.
• Reinforced zipper closure: Zipper front with durable webbing backing aims for smoother operation and a more secure fasten.

Who It's For

This vest suits construction workers, road crews, parking attendants, airport ground staff and site supervisors who require both visibility and multiple pockets for radios, tools and paperwork. The Class 2 rating makes it appropriate for many common work environments where moderate traffic or equipment is present.

People who need a lightweight, breathable option for long shifts will appreciate the mesh back, but anyone requiring heavy cold-weather insulation or the highest-visibility Class 3 coverage should look elsewhere. Also, those expecting factory-level stitch perfection may want to inspect seams if they use the vest in extremely rough conditions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable balance of durable front material and breathable mesh back for extended wear.

Cons

• Some customers reported mixed durability around stitching, so high-abrasion tasks could reveal weak points.
