Polyester Fiber Insulation—Good for indoor and outdoor use, they have an inner polyester layer that traps heat.

ANSI/ISEA 107—They meet Class 2 ANSI/ISEA 107, so you'll be seen from across the shop floor or from moving vehicles.

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

High-Visibility Cooling Vests


Style A	Style B

Keep cool and be seen—these vests protect you from the heat and help you stand out when visibility is low.

Style A—Style A vests hold water that slowly evaporates to keep you cool for up to four hours. Soak them in cold water for a few minutes, and polymer crystals in the fabric will absorb large amounts of water. As you move, airflow creates a cool, damp sensation to lower your body temperature. A polyester/nylon shell won’t weigh you down, and a mesh bottom helps with ventilation.

Style B—Style B vests hold cooling packs that stay at 58° F for up to three hours. You can use these both indoors and outdoors as they don’t require airflow to cool you down. Their polyester exterior helps keep water out while a cotton liner has a thermal layer to keep you cool. They come with an insulated cooler bag to keep packs cold before use. To keep cool for longer, keep replacement cooling packs on hand.

ANSI/ISEA 107—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.

Cold-Protection Vests

Keep your arms free while working in the cold—these vests keep you warm without the bulky sleeves of a coat. Side stretch panels allow you to twist and stretch your body more freely than in a jacket or coat.

Nylon Fabric—The nylon outer shell is treated to resist the wind and rain for protection in harsh weather. Since the nylon is tear resistant, these vests stand up to scrapes and scratches.

Polyester Fiber Insulation—Vests have an insulating layer of polyester that resists cold down to -50° F.

High-Visibility Vests for Fall-Arrest Harnesses

Stand out while you’re working up high. Wear them over your fall-arrest harness so people on the ground can check that you’re working safely.

Polyester Fabric—Made from polyester mesh, they’re durable and lightweight—they stay bright through many wears and won’t block the breeze. They also protect your harness from abrasion.

ANSI/ISEA 107—Rated ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2, these vests have bright colors and reflective stripes to keep you visible from a distance.

D-Ring Access Slits—Since they have slits on the back and sides for access to your D-rings, the colors and stripes won’t be obscured by your harness straps.

Tool Tethering Points—To keep tools close, clip them to a tethering point on the front or back of these vests. All tethering points meet ANSI/ISEA 121 for preventing objects from falling and causing injury or damage.

Nylon Fabric—A lightweight nylon shell keeps the wind out and an insulating liner retains heat.

USB C Charging Cord—You can charge any device that has a USB connection with the vest’s built in USB cord. The cord connects to the vest’s rechargeable battery pack.

Cooling Vests


Style A	Style B

Stay safe when it’s hot—these vests cool down your core to protect you in extreme heat.

Style A—Style A vests soak up water that slowly evaporates to keep you cool for up to four hours. Soak them in cold water for a few minutes, and polymer crystals in the fabric will absorb large amounts of water. As you move, airflow creates a cool, damp sensation to lower your body temperature. Lightweight and flexible, these vests are made of nylon, with a mesh bottom to help with ventilation.

Style B—Style B vests hold water in a reservoir, which slowly evaporates to cool you down. Though they don't get as cold as other options, they last much longer, keeping you cool all day. Plus, you'll only need to refill the reservoir every three days. The most durable option, they have a rigid polyurethane shell, with a nylon liner for comfort. These vests have elastic hook and loop straps, making them the most adjustable style.

Cut-Protection Vests


	Mesh Lining on Back

Also known as kickback vests, these vests help prevent injuries if a chainsaw or other cutting tool jerks toward your chest.

Cotton/Polyester Fabric—To keep you cool, they're made of a blend of polyester and cotton that wicks moisture away and have a mesh back.

Polyester Plastic Padding—When the vest is punctured, a thick padding made from multiple layers of plastic fiber jams the blade and stops it from cutting.

Polyurethane Rubber Coating—A polyurethane coating resists water when you're working outdoors or in wet conditions.

Six Hook and Loop Pockets—Vests have six pockets with hook-and-loop closures for tool storage: four on the outside and two inside.

Cannot Be Sold To—Vests cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product regulations.

Chest Size—When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under these vests.
