The Kishigo 1580 Economy 6 Pocket Contrast Vest is ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 compliant (certified to both the 107-2015 and 107-2020 editions). Type R means it is designed for roadway and temporary traffic-control environments where workers are exposed to public vehicular traffic, and Class 2 provides the mid level of hi-vis coverage — more background and reflective material than Class 1, suitable for most road, utility, survey, and construction work. It is a lime (yellow-green) vest with contrasting-color trim.

Yes. The Kishigo 1580 is a Class 2, Type R hi-vis vest built as an economy six-pocket contrast vest for construction, road, utility, and survey crews. It has a solid knit front with a breathable mesh back, a plastic zipper front closure, and six pockets — two lower outside patch pockets with flaps, a right-chest 2-tier, 4-division pocket, a left-chest radio pocket with hook-and-loop closure, and two inside lower patch pockets — plus a left chest mic tab and reinforced D-ring access on the back, so crews can carry tools, radios, and pens while meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility at an economy price point.

The Kishigo 1580 has six pockets: two lower outside patch pockets with flaps, a right-chest 2-tier, 4-division pocket, a left-chest radio pocket with hook-and-loop closure, and two inside lower patch pockets. It also adds a left chest microphone tab and reinforced D-ring access on the back (so a harness D-ring or badge clip can pass through), along with a plastic zipper front closure to keep gear organized and secure on the job.

A Class 2 vest such as the Kishigo 1580 is required for roadway and traffic-control workers exposed to public vehicular traffic. Under U.S. FHWA regulations and the MUTCD, workers on or near federal-aid highways must wear Class 2 or Class 3 high-visibility apparel, which is why Class 2 is standard for road construction, surveying, utility, and airport ground crews. Class 2 garments carry more high-visibility background fabric and reflective material than Class 1, giving greater conspicuity in complex or reduced-visibility backgrounds. The 1580 is also a Type R garment — the designation for roadway and temporary-traffic-control use.

The Kishigo 1580 uses 2" wide reflective material combined with a 3" contrasting-color material band. The "contrast" in its name refers to that contrasting-color layer placed around the silver reflective tape: the darker contrast color frames the reflective stripes so they stand out more against the lime background and hide dirt better, while the reflective tape provides low-light conspicuity. This reflective layout meets the requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2.

The Kishigo 1580 is made of 100% polyester, with a solid knit front and a mesh back. The mesh back promotes airflow to help keep the wearer cooler and more comfortable in hot conditions, while the solid front adds a bit more coverage and durability. It is a lightweight, breathable economy vest, which is why it suits long outdoor shifts in warm weather.

The Kishigo 1580 comes in four size ranges: S-M, L-XL, 2X-3X, and 4X-5X. Chest sizing runs from 36–42" (S-M) and 44–48" (L-XL) up to 50–54" (2X-3X) and 56–62" (4X-5X). Body length is 27.75" on the S-M and L-XL and 30.75" on the 2X-3X and 4X-5X. The zipper front closure lets you adjust the fit for layering.

Yes. The Kishigo 1580 is machine washable — wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, do not iron — and it is rated for 25 wash cycles per the manufacturer's spec sheet. As an economy Class 2 vest it uses 100% polyester with a solid knit front and mesh back, giving a balance of breathability and everyday durability for routine hi-vis use.

It depends on the job. The Kishigo 1580 is an economy Class 2, Type R vest that still delivers the essentials — full ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility, six pockets, a mic tab, reinforced D-ring back access, and a breathable mesh back — at a lower price than heavy-duty premium vests. For general road, survey, and construction crews who need compliant hi-vis with practical storage at a lower cost, it is a strong value. Choose a premium heavy-duty vest instead if you need rugged cargo pockets, black-bottom contrast styling, or extra reinforcement for demanding daily abuse.
