Yes. The ML Kishigo 1086 is built for hot-weather visibility work: it's made of Ultra-Cool 100% polyester mesh, front and back, so air flows through and heat escapes while you stay compliant. It's an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 high-visibility vest in orange with 2" wide reflective material, a zipper front, and three functional pockets. For road crews, flaggers, and outdoor trades who overheat in solid-fabric vests, the all-mesh construction is the main advantage.

The ML Kishigo 1086 meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 and ANSI/ISEA 107-2020, Type R, Class 2. Type R means it's designed for roadway/traffic environments, and Class 2 specifies the minimum amount of background and reflective material for workers exposed to traffic or moving equipment. It's an orange (fluorescent orange-red) vest with 2" wide reflective striping.

Class 2 is the middle high-visibility tier under ANSI/ISEA 107: it requires more background and reflective material than Class 1 and is intended for workers in higher-risk settings — roadways with traffic over 25 mph, complex backgrounds, or reduced sightlines. The ML Kishigo 1086 is a Type R, Class 2 vest, which is the level commonly specified for road construction, flagging, survey, and utility crews. For the highest-risk conditions (e.g., low light on high-speed highways) some agencies require Class 3; confirm your site or DOT spec.

The ML Kishigo 1086 has three pockets plus mic/radio provisions: an outside left chest radio pocket with a hook & loop tab, an inside right chest 2-tier, 4-division pencil pocket, and a lower inside left patch pocket. It also includes a left chest mic tab for a two-way radio. Closure is a zipper front, and the reflective striping is 2" wide high-performance material.

Ultra-Cool is Kishigo's breathable 100% polyester mesh fabric, used on both the front and back of the 1086. The open mesh weave lets air move through the vest to help release body heat, which is why it's a popular choice for hot, humid, or high-exertion work while still meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility requirements.

The ML Kishigo 1086 is available in S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL (S–5X). It's an orange Class 2 mesh vest with a zipper front closure. (A lime version of the same vest is sold as the ML Kishigo 1085.)

Machine wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, and do not iron. The ML Kishigo 1086 is rated by the manufacturer for 50 wash cycles, after which the high-visibility and reflective performance should be re-checked against ANSI/ISEA 107 before continued use.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1086 uses a zipper front closure. It's also available with optional custom imprinting (company logo) through Industrial Safety Products, which requires a minimum order of 24 garments; orders under that minimum ship as plain "non-logo" vests. The 1086 ships with free shipping.

Both can be ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2, so visibility compliance is the same. The difference is comfort and durability: the 1086's all-mesh Ultra-Cool polyester breathes far better, making it the better pick for hot weather, humidity, and high-exertion jobs. A solid-fabric vest blocks more wind and dust and tends to resist snags better, so it can suit cooler weather or dirtier environments. For heat and airflow, choose the mesh 1086.

The ML Kishigo 1086 Orange Class 2 with 3 Pocket Zipper Mesh Vest is available from Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping. It's sold in sizes S–5XL and can be ordered with optional custom logo imprinting on orders of 24 or more garments.
