Safety Vests

Finding the right safety vest can be an overwhelming task, especially if you’ve never used one before. Safety vests come in different sizes, colors, materials and classes. If you’re unsure which type of safety vest you need, you’ve come to the right place. We here at SafetyVests.com have created a safety vest guide to help walk you through the process of choosing a safety vest that suites your needs.

The safety vest guide works by breaking down the vest into six critical sections. As the user, you select the option or options you want included in your safety vest within each section. Let’s take color for example, which is one of the six sections. There are four options within the color section, including Yellow-Lime Green, Orange, No Preference, or Other. If you are specifically looking for orange safety vests, you would select only the orange option. If, on the other hand, you have no preference, you can simply select the no preference option to keep safety vests of all colors included in your search.

Color is just one of the six sections designed to help break down the safety vests. Let’s take a look at all of the sections:

• Vest Style – This section breaks down vests based on class, including ANSI Class 3, Class 2, ANSI 207-2006, Non-ANSI, and No Preference. For many construction and highway workers, it is very important that they are wearing the correct class of safety vest required for their line of work. If you are selecting this safety vest for personal use, class may not be as important to you. Class is generally based on the amount of non reflective and reflective material covering the safety vest.

• Vest Material – This section breaks down the vests based on how the vests are structured. Options included here are mesh, solid, a hybrid of mesh and solid, or no preference.

• Vest Color – As mentioned earlier, this section breaks down vests based on color. If you choose the other option, only blue, red, green and black safety vests will be shown.

• Closure Type – This section breaks the safety vests into two categories, either Velcro or Zipper. There are some other closure styles and some vests may have none at all, but the vast majority will fall under one of these two categories.

• Vest Design – This section breaks the safety vests down by the job the vest is designed for. The options in this section include Breakaway, Flame Resistant, Chevron, Surveyor, and no preference.

• Brand – This final sections breaks down safety vests by brand. If you’re looking for a specific brand, this section is perfect for you. If this is your first time purchasing a vest and don’t a specific brand in mind, simply choose the no preference option.

Once you have gone through the safety vest guide, the remaining safety vests that fit all of your criteria will be listed below. We hope this guide will be helpful in your quest to find that perfect safety vest.
