The Kishigo 1824 Women's Ultimate Construction Vest is ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 compliant, meeting both the 107-2015 and 107-2020 editions of the standard. 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 high-visibility coverage — more background and reflective material than Class 1. It is a lime (yellow-green) vest.

Yes. The Kishigo 1824 Women's Ultimate Construction Vest is a Class 2, Type R hi-vis vest built as a heavy-duty "surveyor style" vest with a tailored feminine cut. It pairs ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility with an extensive pocket system — layered lower front pockets (top-loading, slash, and flapped storage with magnetic closures), a left-chest 2-tier 4-division pocket, a right-chest retractable clear ID holder, water-bottle side pockets, and a hidden back pouch — plus dual-layer mic tabs and a scooped hem for comfort when bending over. It carries tools, radios, phones, and ID while keeping women workers visible on the jobsite.

The Kishigo 1824 has one of the most complete pocket layouts of any women's construction vest: left and right layered lower front pockets (a top-loading pocket with magnetic closure, slash pockets with zipper closure, and storage pockets with flap and magnetic closures), two lower side water-bottle pockets with adjustable cord closures, a left-chest 2-tier 4-division pocket with magnetic closure and an anchor point, a right-chest pocket with a water-resistant retractable clear ID holder plus magnetic closures and an anchor point, a hidden back pouch pocket with left and right zipper access, and an internal chest pocket with magnetic closure. It also has left and right dual-layer mic tabs.

The Kishigo 1824 combines a heavy-duty solid woven polyester front with an Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh back. The solid front gives durability and structure for the pockets and hardware, while the breathable mesh back promotes airflow to keep the wearer cooler on hot jobsites. An updated padded neck design and a scooped hem add all-day comfort, and the zipper front closure is reinforced with durable webbing.

A Class 2 vest such as the Kishigo 1824 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 inspection work. Class 2 garments carry more high-visibility background fabric and reflective material than Class 1 for greater conspicuity. The 1824 is also a Type R garment — the designation for roadway and temporary-traffic-control use.

The Kishigo 1824 is available in women's sizes Small through 2XL, with chest sizing from 32–34" (S) up to 40–42" (2X) — for example, Large fits a 36–38" chest and XL fits a 38–40" chest. It is designed with a tailored cut for a feminine fit and a scooped hem for extra comfort when bending over, plus an updated padded neck. It comes in lime, and each vest weighs roughly 1.20–1.36 lb depending on size.

The Kishigo 1824 uses 2" wide high-performance reflective material laminated to a 3" contrasting color band for added daytime and low-light visibility. This layered reflective-on-contrast design increases conspicuity in both daylight and headlight conditions and meets the requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2.

Yes. The Kishigo 1824 has a right-chest pocket with a water-resistant retractable clear ID holder that keeps a badge visible and protected. Several pockets include internal anchor points — the left-chest 2-tier 4-division pocket and the right-chest ID pocket each have an anchor point — so keys, tools, or a retractor can be tethered securely. (These anchor points are storage tie-off points, not fall-protection attachment points.)

Yes. Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) sells the Kishigo 1824 Women's Ultimate Construction Vest with optional custom logo imprinting via its "Customize This Product" option. The vest's American Flag patch is interchangeable and can be removed so a company logo or name can be added. Free shipping is included on the order.

Yes. The Kishigo 1824 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. The heavy-duty solid front, zipper reinforced with durable webbing, and magnetic and zippered pocket closures are built for demanding daily construction use.

For women supervisors and surveyors, generally yes. Unlike a plain single-pocket hi-vis vest, the Kishigo 1824 pairs ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2, Type R visibility with a professional-grade, women-specific feature set: a tailored feminine cut and scooped hem, layered lower front pockets with magnetic and zipper closures, a left-chest 2-tier 4-division pocket, a retractable clear ID holder, water-bottle side pockets, a hidden back pouch, dual-layer mic tabs, a padded neck, and an interchangeable American Flag patch. The solid woven front adds durability while the Ultra-Cool mesh back keeps you cool. It is the women's counterpart to the men's Kishigo 1823 and a higher-utility choice than an economy vest for crews who carry tools, radios, and ID all day.
