UNINOVA Surveyor Safety Vest Reflective for Men - Class 2 Visibility

In this review of the UNINOVA Surveyor Safety Vest Reflective for Men we look at who will benefit most and why this vest stands out. The bottom line: this Class 2 safety vest is designed for workers who need reliable 360 degree visibility and functional storage on the job. The vest's ANSI Type R Class 2 approved neon yellow mesh and reflective trim provide clear visibility in complex environments, while multiple pockets, a zipper closure and mic tabs keep tools and ID handy without weighing the wearer down.

Key Features

• ANSI Class 2 protection: The neon yellow back mesh fabric and reflective materials meet Class 2 visibility needs for workers exposed to traffic and low-light conditions, increasing safety on site.
• Multiple pockets: Seven multi-functional pockets, including a left chest radio/phone pocket, clear ID holder and a large back pocket, make it easy to carry plans, a tablet or common tools hands free.
• Durable details: Reinforced zippers, grommets and mic tabs are enhanced for longer life so the vest resists everyday wear and reduces replacement cost.
• Comfortable breathable fabric: Lightweight 100% polyester quick-dry fabric and a padded collar improve comfort during long shifts and hot weather.
• Tool and lanyard support: Two lapel grommets and two durable mic tabs provide secure attachment points for a lanyard, radio or small tools.

Who It's For

The UNINOVA Class 2 vest is ideal for surveyors, construction crews, road maintenance teams and anyone working near traffic or in low-light conditions who needs visibility and convenient storage. The large back pocket that fits paperwork or a tablet makes it practical for field technicians who must carry plans or forms.

Those who need the highest level of visibility for highway work in fast-moving traffic should consider a Class 3 vest instead, and users who prefer heavier insulated outerwear for cold weather may need an additional layer over this lightweight, breathable vest.
