How to Choose the Right Safety Vest for Your Crew

Choosing the right safety vest for your team isn't just about style or color — it's about visibility , comfort , and compliance . Whether you're outfitting a construction crew, flaggers, or warehouse staff, selecting the correct hi vis vest can make all the difference in ensuring worker safety and performance.

Here's how to choose the best safety vest for your team.

🔍 Step 1: Determine Required Visibility Level

The first thing to consider is the work environment:

• Is the site near high-speed vehicles?
• Will workers be outdoors at night?

If so, opt for ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 vests with 2” reflective stripes . These offer superior visibility over standard Class 1 vests.

👕 Step 2: Select the Right Fit & Material

Safety vests come in different fits:

• Unisex
• Gender-specific

Material matters too:

• Look for breathable mesh fabric
• Ensure adjustable straps for proper fit
• Consider comfort lining if worn for long shifts

A well-fitting vest ensures maximum visibility and comfort — especially when moving between indoor and outdoor environments.

💼 Step 3: Check for Functional Features

Your team may need more than just visibility — they might also need practical features like:

• Multiple pockets (for tools, IDs, or radios)
• Zipper front closure for secure wear
• Logo space for team identity

Check out our Multi-Pocket Hi-Vis Vest or Color Block Vest — both are ideal for utility crews and industrial teams.

🎯 Step 4: Ensure Proper Sizing

One size doesn’t always fit all. Take measurements of your team members and look for unisex sizing options that accommodate layers underneath.

For custom orders, we recommend minimums of 12 units per design.

🧵 Step 5: Add Custom Logo for Branding

Customizable safety vests let you add company logos or names — which helps build team recognition and brand awareness on jobsites.

Whether you're a contracting firm, delivery service, or public works department, branded vests help your team stand out — and stay professional.

🛠️ Final Tips for Buying in Bulk

When buying safety vests for your team:

• Always check for ANSI compliance
• Prioritize breathability and reflective coverage
• Use internal links to your top products:
  • Hi-Vis Vest with 4 Pockets
  • Color Block Vest

Visibility saves lives — and makes your team look sharp while doing it.
