Yes. The ML Kishigo 1516 is a surveyor-style Class 2 safety vest built for workers who carry gear. It has two lower cargo pockets with adjustable flaps and grommets, a right-chest 2-tier 4-division pencil pocket, a left-chest heavy-duty gusseted radio/utility pocket with reflective piping, an inside lower-left tablet (iPad) pocket with a load-bearing strap, an inside lower-right patch pocket, plus left and right chest mic tabs. It meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2, is made of Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh for breathability, and its heavy-duty black bottom and trim resist dirt for a clean, professional look. Available at Industrial Safety Products with free shipping.

The ML Kishigo 1516 Black Bottom Orange Safety Vest meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 and ANSI/ISEA 107-2020, Type R, Class 2. Type R means it is designed for roadway and off-road work zones where workers are exposed to traffic, and Class 2 is the mid-tier high-visibility rating required for most road construction, surveying, utility, and parking environments. Its high-visibility orange color and reflective striping provide the conspicuity Class 2 demands.

Class 2 means the vest provides the mid level of high-visibility protection defined by ANSI/ISEA 107, with enough background and reflective material to keep workers visible in most roadway and work-zone conditions. The ML Kishigo 1516 is a Type R, Class 2 vest, which suits the majority of road construction, surveying, and utility jobs. For high-speed highways at night or in poor visibility, some sites specify Class 3 (which adds sleeves for more reflective area); confirm your site's requirement, but for standard Class 2 zones the 1516 is compliant.

The black bottom and trim on the ML Kishigo 1516 are a heavy-duty design feature that hides dirt, grease, and scuffs along the lower portion of the vest, keeping it looking clean and professional longer than an all-fluorescent vest. The black areas sit below the required high-visibility background and reflective material, so the vest still meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2. It's a practical choice for trades where the bottom of the vest takes the most wear.

The ML Kishigo 1516 is made of Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh, with mesh construction on both the front and back for maximum airflow. The open mesh keeps workers cooler in hot, humid conditions, making it well suited to summer road, survey, and construction work. It has a zipper front closure with durable webbing reinforcement, and reflective trim around the arms with piping down the sides for added low-light visibility.

The ML Kishigo 1516 comes in seven sizes: M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL (M through 5X). It's a zip-front surveyor-style vest, so you select your size at checkout. It's available in high-visibility orange with a black bottom at Industrial Safety Products, with free shipping.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1516 has an inside lower-left heavy-duty tablet (iPad) pocket with a load-bearing strap to secure a device, plus a left-chest heavy-duty gusseted radio/utility pocket with reflective piping and left and right chest mic tabs for routing a radio microphone. It also includes a right-chest 2-tier 4-division pencil pocket, two lower cargo pockets with flaps and grommets, and an inside lower-right patch pocket — making it a strong choice for surveyors and supervisors who carry tools and electronics.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1516 is machine washable and rated by the manufacturer for up to 50 wash cycles while maintaining compliance. Care instructions are: machine wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, and do not iron. Its heavy-duty black bottom and trim and durable webbing-reinforced zipper add to its longevity in daily use.

The ML Kishigo 1516 is available at Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with optional custom logo imprinting. Custom imprinting requires a minimum order of 24 garments; if an order does not meet that minimum, it ships as non-logo items. The vest comes with free shipping. It's a practical way to brand crews while keeping ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 compliance.

The ML Kishigo 1516 is part of Kishigo's Premium Black Series, so it offers far more than a basic economy vest. It combines a heavy-duty black bottom and trim (which hides dirt), extensive pocketing (cargo, pencil, radio/utility, tablet, and patch pockets), chest mic tabs, a webbing-reinforced zipper, and 2" reflective material with a 3" breathable contrasting color band. It still meets the same ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 standard as simpler vests, but is built for surveyors and professionals who need to carry gear and want a longer-lasting, more professional-looking vest.
