The ML Kishigo 1195 All Mesh Lime Safety Vest is ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 compliant (certified to both the 2015 and 2020 editions of the standard). Type R designates apparel 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, survey, and utility work. It is a lime (yellow-green) vest with orange contrasting trim.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1195 is built specifically for heat: it uses Ultra-Cool 100% polyester mesh on both the front and back, so air flows through the entire garment rather than just the back. That full mesh construction, combined with ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 visibility and a work-ready pocket layout, makes it a strong pick for road construction, surveying, utility, and warehouse crews working long shifts in warm conditions.

A Class 2 vest such as the ML Kishigo 1195 is required for roadway and traffic-control workers exposed to public vehicular traffic. Under U.S. FHWA rules and the MUTCD, workers on or near roadways 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 for greater conspicuity. The 1195 is also a Type R garment — the designation for roadway and temporary-traffic-control use with exposure to public vehicular traffic.

Ultra-Cool is ML Kishigo's 100% polyester mesh fabric, and on the 1195 it is used across the entire vest — front and back are both mesh. The open construction promotes maximum airflow to keep the wearer cooler and more comfortable in hot conditions, which is the main reason to choose an "all mesh" vest over one with a solid front panel. It is lightweight and breathable, well suited to long outdoor shifts in warm weather.

The ML Kishigo 1195 has a practical pocket layout: two lower outside patch pockets with flaps, a right-chest 2-tier pencil pocket, a left-chest radio pocket with a flap, and two inside patch pockets. It also has left and right chest microphone tabs (the small size has a left mic tab only) and a zipper front closure.

The ML Kishigo 1195 comes in sizes S through 5X. Chest sizing runs from about 36–38" (S) up to 64–66" (5X), with body length from roughly 25" to 30" across the range. It is a lime vest with orange contrasting trim and a zipper front closure, so it is easy to size up over layers on cold-then-warm workdays.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1195 is machine washable — wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, do not iron — and it is rated for 50 wash cycles per the manufacturer's spec sheet. The all-mesh polyester construction dries quickly and holds up to repeated laundering, keeping the high-visibility fabric serviceable over time.

The ML Kishigo 1195 uses 2" wide high-performance reflective material paired with a 3" breathable contrasting-color band for strong daytime and low-light visibility. This reflective-plus-contrast layout meets the reflective-material requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2, giving good conspicuity to drivers and equipment operators in reduced-light conditions.

Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) sells the ML Kishigo 1195 All Mesh Lime Safety Vest with optional custom logo imprinting. Custom imprinting requires a minimum order of 24 garments; orders below that minimum ship as non-logo items. Free shipping is included.

It depends on the conditions. For hot-weather work, the all-mesh ML Kishigo 1195 has a clear edge: because both the front and back are Ultra-Cool polyester mesh, air moves through the whole vest, so it runs cooler than a vest with a solid front panel while still meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2. A solid-front vest may feel slightly more rugged or block wind better in cold or dusty conditions, but for breathability and all-day comfort in the heat, the all-mesh 1195 is the better choice — and it still carries a full set of chest, cargo, and interior pockets plus mic tabs.
