We take no chances when it comes to the equipment we provide, and with SafetyGear Online’s selection, you’ll feel confident about your safety on the job.

ANSI-certification and quality assurance

An ANSI-certified product means it has been cleared by the American National Standards Institute for color, coverage and reflectivity.  The class 2 vests are intended for workers who operate in low-visibility environments but are required for those working near oncoming traffic and alongside traffic under 50 mph day and night.  High-visibility colors and reflective materials also provide an additional margin of safety during inclement weather conditions and public safety emergencies, as well as around traffic hazards and at construction sites.  Each of our class 2 safety vests contain a minimum of 201 square inches of reflective tape in addition to the minimum 775 square inches of durable, light-catching material.  The location of the class 2 safety vest reflective material is also controlled. A reflective stripe that runs around the whole girth of the torso is required. This band needs to be visible to others from all angles. Additional stripes that run vertically from the horizontal stripe in the front, over the shoulders, to the horizontal stripe in the back are required. All class 2 safety vests are required to satisfy these regulations to be safe while working. The material comes in a choice of two high-visibility colors, orange and lime, typically referred to as “HiVis.”  The vests have ample pocket space for a phone, two-way radio, tools, or other accessories you’ll need to have at hands reach while on the job. More information on the American National Standards Institute’s quality and safety standards can be found on their website.  For safety vest options with more coverage, check out our selection of class 3 safety vests.

Our ANSI Class 2 safety vests are engineered to meet the highest safety standards, ensuring you stay visible and protected in low-visibility work conditions.

Why Choose Our ANSI Class 2 Safety Vests?

Whether you're working on the road, at a construction site, or in any environment with potential traffic hazards, wearing the right safety gear can be the difference between a safe workday and a dangerous one. Class 2 high visibility clothing is designed to keep you visible to others, even in low-light conditions, and reduce the risk of accidents.

Class 2 safety vests are ideal for workers in environments where visibility is crucial, especially when working near oncoming traffic or at construction sites. Wearing ANSI Class 2 vests ensures that you're visible from a distance, providing an additional layer of safety for both you and those around you.

Our Class 2 high visibility vests feature bright colors and reflective tape, allowing others to spot you from all angles. This is especially important in environments with poor lighting, inclement weather, or high-traffic situations.

ANSI Certification: Meeting the Highest Safety Standards

All our ANSI Class 2 vests meet the stringent guidelines set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This certification ensures that each safety vest meets the necessary criteria for reflectivity, color visibility, and coverage. ANSI Class 2 vests are required for workers who operate in environments where visibility is limited but are still exposed to traffic moving at speeds under 50 mph, both day and night.

Key features of our ANSI Class 2 vests:

• Reflective Tape: Each vest includes a minimum of 201 square inches of reflective tape to ensure maximum visibility, plus 775 square inches of durable, light-catching material.
• Reflective Stripes: The reflective material is strategically placed around the torso, with a continuous stripe wrapping around the body. Additional vertical stripes run over the shoulders and back for full 360-degree visibility.
• High-Visibility Colors: Our Class 2 safety vests come in two highly visible colors: lime green and orange (HiVis), making them stand out in any work environment.

With ample pocket space for phones, radios, tools, and other essential accessories, our ANSI Class 2 safety vests offer both functionality and visibility. If you need even more protection, check out our Class 3 safety vests for maximum coverage.
