[ How Class 2 Safety Vests Differ from Class 1 and Class 3 Vests ]
Understanding the differences between Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 safety vests is crucial for selecting the most appropriate high-visibility safety apparel for your work environment. ANSI class guidelines categorize these vests based on the level of risk and exposure in a given job site.
Class 1 vests are suitable for environments with minimal traffic and slow-moving vehicles, where workers can easily divert their attention to avoid any hazards. These vests usually have a minimum of reflective material and may not meet the strict requirements of square inches of retroreflective material required for higher-risk environments.
On the other end of the spectrum, Class 3 vests are designed for high-risk scenarios like high-speed roadways or potentially dangerous weather conditions. They cover a larger area of the body and usually incorporate sleeves, providing the maximum amount of reflective material and visibility.
Enter Our ICEVEST HiVis Class 2 Safety Vest
Our ICEVEST HiVis Class 2 Safety Vests bridge the gap between these extremes. Class 2 vests are ideal for environments that involve greater vehicle speed and higher traffic volume compared to Class 1, but not as extreme as conditions requiring a Class 3 vest. They have more reflective tape and retroreflective material than Class 1 vests, fulfilling a higher visibility threshold value. This makes them perfect for construction workers, utility workers, emergency responders, and much more due to their high visibility and diverse functionality.
Benefits of a Class 2 Safety Vest
When it comes to personal protective equipment, a Class 2 safety vest is more than just a reflective piece of safety clothing — it's an essential tool that amplifies visibility and safeguards workers in various conditions. This ANSI class safety vest is designed to meet stringent American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines, ensuring that you get the highest level of protection, particularly when it comes to high-volume parking lots, construction sites, and job sites where heavy machinery is in use.
Constructed with retroreflective material and silver reflective tape, the Class 2 safety vest allows construction workers, utility workers, and emergency responders to remain conspicuous, even in low light conditions or inclement weather conditions. The reflective stripe and fluorescent material significantly enhance visibility, adhering to the transparency threshold and threshold value standards set by ANSI.
Utility workers, construction workers, railway workers, and forest workers all benefit from Class 2 vests that come with a toolbelt with pockets. These pockets are designed to accommodate all the essential equipment you might need throughout your workday. From flashlights to notebooks and even small tools, these pockets have got you covered.
Why Choose Our ICEVEST HiVis Cooling/Heating/Hydration Safety Vest Class 2?
When it comes to safety vests, the ICEVEST HiVis Class 2 sets itself apart from other high-visibility safety apparel. The vest not only meets the ANSI class standards for visibility with its heavy-duty reflective tape and retroreflective material but also integrates groundbreaking technology—ICEPLATE Curve. This provides you with both conductive cooling/heating capabilities and integrated hydration, features seldom found in standard Class 2 vests.
Whether you are at a high-traffic construction site or working as an emergency responder, our safety vest ensures that you stay visible, hydrated, and comfortable in any weather conditions. With the unique ability to insert the ICEPLATE Curve, you can stay hydrated and regulate your body temperature, making this vest the go-to heat injury prevention tool. Since its launch in 2017, ICEPLATE Curve technology has clocked nearly 5,000,000 man-hours without a single heat injury, proving its effectiveness and reliability.
In addition to boosting effectiveness and reliability, our vests also improve productivity. This is due to the reduced need to break for water or to get out of the sun in order to regulate body temperature. It also will keep your workers happy, which naturally increases their individual productivity. Our class 2 safety vest will eliminate many issues that are detrimental to productivity in the workplace.
Moreover, our vests come with a selection of class options, additional features, and logo personalization, allowing for a highly customized experience based on your specific needs. These factors combined make the ICEVEST HiVis Cooling/Heating/Hydration Safety Vest Class 2 not just another piece of safety equipment—it's a revolutionary tool that brings hydration and thermal regulation to the forefront, redefining what a Class 2 safety vest can do for you.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
