PPE Category 1—Vests that are rated PPE Category 1 provide light protection against arc flashes. Made of mesh acrylic, these vests are self-extinguishing. They are stitched with Nomex thread for added durability. They have hook and loop closures down the front and one waist pocket.

PPE Category 4—Vests that are rated PPE Category 4 provide the highest level of protection from arc flashes. Rated NFPA 2112, they also protect against flash fires. They’re made of modacrylic/aramid which is more durable and flame resistant than acrylic vests. You’ll stay dry thanks to the water-resistant coating. These vests have a lightweight and breathable cotton liner for added comfort. They have a zipper down the front, one chest pocket, and two waist pockets.

NFPA 70E—Vests are rated NFPA 70E to protect your torso against flames and arc flash.

ANSI/ISEA 107—These vests meet ANSI/ISEA 107, so they've passed tests for visibility at high speeds and distances. That means you'll be seen by fast-moving vehicles or from across the shop floor.

Fluorescent Yellow—These vests are fluorescent yellow with reflective stripes, so you’ll stand out in risky areas with low visibility.

Arc-Rated PPE Category—Choose a vest that meets the arc rated personal protective equipment (PPE) category required by your workplace.
