Kishigo Premium Black Series Heavy Duty Unisex Reflective Safety Vest 1514, ANSI Type R / Class 2 Compliant, 6 Pockets - Pencil & Radio Pockets, Reflective Silver Lining & Black Trim (Orange, M)

My husband needs a safety vest at work. We've been through...shall I say...many (over a dozen different brankds) of them, and the cheap ones don't last\, and they look terrible. This one is very well made--my husband says it feels like a jacket. The zipper is a nice feature, and the pockets are roomy and seem strong/durable.6.17.2015 - UPDATE: After months of wear and several washings in the washing machine, the stitching around the pockets started to unravel. I did a quick seam with my sewing machine (gotta love all the machines in life) and they've held just fine. Stains come out nicely and still looks new. I'm going to buy another one right now, just to have it as a back up.

Comfortable, durable, and very light. The mesh type fabric allows this to breathe and not heat you up over time. Numerous pockets and zipper front make this one of the best safety vests I've ever used. The black sides make for a nice and professional look and feel. It will me ML Kishigo all the way for me from now on.

Pretty solid, nice pockets, zips up, feels sturdy, packaging looks nice and fancy, honestly it feels like a premium product. I'm 5'10 and pretty average slim build and i ordred a large and it feel well loose enough to breath and wear a heavier shirt or light jacket under but tight enough to not feel oversized

This is a great vest. It is lightweight, comfortable, and durable. To top it off it looks good too! The zipper and pockets are good quality and everything is holding up well after a few months of use.The only issues with it I have are that the pen pocket is a little short and is on the right side of the chest. My clickable Sharpie highlighters don't stay very well unless they are in the larger open part of the pocket. To be fair those highlighters are very tall though. Being right handed and trying to put away pens etc on the right side of the chest is awkward for me. But I feel that might be a preference thing so no star deduction for that.Sizing: I wear a 2x shirt and so far this has gone perfectly over normal/long sleeve shirts and a rain jacket.UPDATE 4-2016I've had the vest now for seven months and it had held up pretty well to being used five days a week for almost that entire time. The only issue that I've had is the grommets on both front pockets have come out. I not pull flags through these in my job as some do so is not an issue for me but still a star deduction.All the Velcro and the zipper still work great.

With so many options, how does one pick a safety vest? Orange vs green? Orange is especially good outdoors and around roadways. It stands out against foliage, and motorists recognize the color as a safety warning. What brand? Kishigo seems to be one of the most popular makers, and has quite a few options. This particular vest has contrasting black accents, meant to make the vest more visible. The quality is good.

Great vest, but the sizes run big. I normally wear Large sized shirts and sweaters, but I am a Medium in size for this vest, and it still fits loose enough to wear over a jacket or coat. Originally, I ordered an XL to make sure I had some extra room for a coat, but the best fit way too big. Other than the sizing issue, this is a great vest with plenty of pockets, breathable, mesh material, and overall it looks sharp. There's a place for everything in this vest and the price is right.

This is a great vest, I received a lot of compliments on it. I bought it to work on LDC projects and some volunteer work in Warwick, New York, and it worked very well. The pockets are perfect, and the radio microphone clips are strong. No tearing with this vest, although working hard, sweat, and heat made some SLIGHT discoloration around the pen holder area, but not a big deal. Washing it was very easy as well.

Best safety vest I've had. It last longer and is cooler than others in hot weather. The black - orange contrast does increase visibility.

Muy buen chaleco de calidad Blackseries Kishigo, buen precio y a la medida; trae varias bolsitas para equipo y gran vista!

Me gustó el chaleco, solo es necesario considerar alguna otra forma de afianzar los ojillos de los bolsos ya que uno se salió muy fácil.

First class high vise very high quality came from America very fast delivery.I highly recommend lots of good pockets.

The one complaint I have is the velcro is really sting on the pockets. It will maybe wear in after some use. Besides that it fits really well and is comfortable to wear.

Muy bonito diseño y color
