Welders' Life Vests

A tough Nomex shell resists high temperatures and minor sparks when welding near the water. These vests are international safety orange to help workers stand out. They have a moisture-wicking mesh liner to keep you cool when working and adjustable sides to expand the fit. They are United States Coast Guard Type III approved for use near calm, inland waters where there is a high chance of immediate rescue.

High-Visibility Life Vests

These vests are fluorescent yellow with reflective tape panels to make workers stand out in low-visibility conditions. They meet Class 2 ANSI/ISEA 107 standards for high-visibility clothing when working on or near roadways, and they are United States Coast Guard Type III approved for use near calm, inland waters where there is a high chance of immediate rescue. The top is polyester mesh, making vests lightweight and breathable. They have a zipper down the front and two adjustable buckles to tighten for a snug fit. They have two pockets with hook and loop closures.

Life vests should fit snugly. When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under the vest.

Nylon and Polyester Mesh with Flotation Collar

Inflatable Nylon

Work safely near the water. These vests are international safety orange with reflective tape panels to draw attention to workers in low-visibility environments.

Vests are United States Coast Guard approved for use as safety equipment. Type III vests are for use near calm, inland waters where there is a high chance of immediate rescue. Type V vests are specifically approved for commercial work away from shore and must be worn at all times to meet USCG approval when working.

Nylon vests are soft and lightweight to keep you comfortable when working.

Nylon and polyester mesh vests have a mesh top, making them lighter and more breathable than nylon vests.

Nylon and polyester mesh with flotation collar vests keep the wearer’s head above the water until help arrives. They have a tough nylon shell and a breathable polyester mesh liner to keep workers cool and comfortable. An adjustable waist belt buckles in the front and is concealed to reduce the risk of catching on equipment.

Inflatable vests have a CO₂ cylinder that will automatically inflate the vest when submerged in water. They have a pull cord and tube to inflate manually. These vests are lightweight with a single buckle, so they’re easy to move around in.
