Yes. The ML Kishigo 1242 is an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 high-visibility vest — the highest visibility class in the standard, required for workers exposed to high-speed traffic, low-light or nighttime conditions, and complex work zones such as highway construction, survey, flagging, and emergency response. It reaches Class 3 with a fluorescent lime body, short sleeves, and 2" wide reflective tape bordered by a 3" contrasting stripe for maximum conspicuity. With six pockets and breathable Ultra-Cool polyester mesh, it's a well-equipped Class 3 option for demanding, high-risk environments.

The ML Kishigo 1242 meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 (compliant with both the 2015 and 2020 editions). "Type R" means it is rated for roadway and temporary traffic-control use, and "Class 3" is the highest visibility level, requiring the most fluorescent background material and retroreflective tape — including coverage on the sleeves. The 1242 achieves this with a fluorescent lime mesh body, sleeves, and 2" wide reflective tape with a 3" contrasting color band.

Class 3 is the highest conspicuity level under ANSI/ISEA 107, requiring more fluorescent background fabric and retroreflective tape than Class 1 or Class 2, plus visibility of the arms — which is why the Kishigo 1242 is a sleeved vest. It's intended for workers who face the greatest visibility hazards: high-speed traffic (over 50 mph), nighttime or low-light operations, and work zones where the full body needs to be seen. The 1242 meets it with a fluorescent lime body, sleeves, and 2" wide reflective tape framed by a 3" contrasting stripe.

The ML Kishigo 1242 is made of Ultra-Cool 100% polyester mesh on both the front and back, which makes it lightweight and breathable for hot-weather and all-day wear, with solid material on the pockets. It has a zipper front closure, a fluorescent lime body with contrasting orange trim, and 2" wide reflective tape with a 3" contrasting stripe. The mesh construction keeps airflow high while still meeting Class 3 visibility.

The ML Kishigo 1242 is a six-pocket vest. It has an outside left chest radio pocket, an outside right chest 2-tier, 3-division pocket, inside lower patch pockets, and two lower outside solid-material patch pockets with flaps. It also includes a left chest microphone tab for clipping a two-way radio mic. The mix of chest, interior, and flap-covered lower pockets makes it well suited to workers who carry tools, radios, and small gear.

The ML Kishigo 1242 comes in a full size range from S through 5X (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL), so it fits most workers. It's a sleeved, zipper-front Class 3 mesh vest, and each size is packaged individually.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1242 is machine washable — wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, and do not iron. Kishigo rates it for 50 wash cycles while maintaining its ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 3 compliance. The Ultra-Cool polyester mesh is quick-drying and built to hold up to regular job-site laundering.

The ML Kishigo 1242 has a fluorescent lime background with contrasting orange trim framing its silver reflective tape (a companion style, the 1243, is also offered). The contrasting color makes the reflective stripes stand out more against the bright body in daylight, improving how quickly the wearer's shape is recognized. The 2" wide reflective tape is bordered to create a 3" contrasting stripe.

Yes. Optional custom imprinting is available on the ML Kishigo 1242 through Industrial Safety Products, with a minimum order of 24 garments. If an order doesn't meet the 24-piece minimum, it ships as standard "non-logo" vests. It's a good fit for crews that want branded, ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 3 hi-vis gear, and it ships with free shipping.

The ML Kishigo 1242 is a Class 3 vest, the highest visibility level — choose it when workers face high-speed traffic (over 50 mph), work at night or in low light, or need full-body conspicuity including the arms, which is why it has sleeves. A Class 2 vest (sleeveless, less reflective material) is enough for lower-speed daytime roadway, construction, and utility work. If your job hazard assessment calls for maximum visibility, the sleeved, six-pocket 1242 is the right pick; for standard Class 2 needs, a lighter sleeveless vest will do.
