🦺 Visibility Isn’t Optional—It’s Survival

In high-traffic zones, being seen is being safe. ANSI sets the rules with High Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA), divided into Classes 1, 2, and 3. For construction crews, flaggers, and first responders, Class 2 is the go-to.

🔸 Class 2 HVSA: Built for the Line of Fire

Designed for workers near traffic moving 25–50 mph, Class 2 gear amps up visibility with:

• More fluorescent fabric (755+ sq in.)
• More reflective tape (201+ sq in.)
• Tape width: 2" standard, 1" split trim

Two types: 
| Type R | Roadway warriors | Road legal, sleeveless, high-contrast |
| Type P | Public safety pros | Short-cut for gear access, made for responders |

🔥 Real Gear > Fake Compliance

Forget slapping stripes on a uniform. If it’s not ANSI/ISEA 107, it’s not safe. Safe or Die Gear checks every box—reflective, compliant, and tough enough for serious jobs.

Color matters:

• Orange-red: pops in green zones
• Yellow-green: king of visibility—unless you're working in a jungle

Materials:

• Lightweight polyester mesh
• Reflective tape that owns the night

Optional upgrades? Pockets, zippers, flame-retardant layers. Form meets function.

⚠️ Who Needs Class 2?

Everyone on the edge:

• Road crews, surveyors
• Tarmac workers, first responders
• Crossing guards, transit crews
• Construction workers near active equipment

🛣 Federal Rule of the Road

Working on a Federal-aid highway? You legally need Class 2 or 3 HVSA. Period.

💡 FAQ: No BS Edition

Can I slap reflective tape on a uniform and call it compliant?
Nope. You’d look bright, but you wouldn’t be right.

Can I grab a vest from a discount store?
Only if it meets every single ANSI/ISEA 107 standard. Read the fine print.

How do Classes 1–3 stack up?
