ANSI Class 2 Vests

Understanding ANSI Class 2 Safety Vests

ANSI Class 2 vests are the workhorse of high-visibility apparel, offering a middle tier of protection designed for workers who need more conspicuity than a basic Class 1 garment but don't require the maximum coverage of Class 3. These vests are governed by the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard, and the products in this collection are Type R (Roadway) Class 2 to the right choice for environments where traffic moves faster than 25 mph or where workers operate near roadways, parking lots, and busy work zones.

How to Choose the Right Class 2 Vest

With 27 options here, narrowing down comes down to a few practical factors:

• Fabric: Mesh vests (like the Pyramex RVZ series) breathe well in hot conditions, while solid-fabric vests offer more durability and a professional look.
• Color: Choose fluorescent lime-yellow or orange based on your site's background and crew standards.
• Pockets and closures: Surveyor-style vests such as the OccuNomix LUX-HDS2T add multiple pockets and heavy-duty construction for tool-carrying trades.
• Budget vs. duty cycle: Economy vests suit high-turnover or single-season use; heavy-duty models hold up to daily wear.

Compliance Notes

Every vest in this collection is labeled ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 2. Always confirm the sewn-in label and required reflective tape width before deploying, and match the class to your job hazard analysis to some high-speed or low-light roadway tasks may call for Class 3 instead. Class 2 covers the majority of daytime roadway, utility, and warehouse applications.
