Yes. The ML Kishigo 1529 is an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 high-visibility vest, the level required for workers exposed to traffic moving faster than 25 mph and busier work zones — road construction, utility, survey, and general roadway crews. It pairs a breathable fluorescent orange 100% polyester mesh body with a solid black lower front ("black bottom") that helps hide dirt and grease stains, plus 2" wide reflective tape, a zipper front, and multiple pockets. For a work-ready Class 2 vest that stays looking clean on dirty jobs, it's a strong everyday choice. Free shipping is included at Industrial Safety Products.

The ML Kishigo 1529 meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2. "Type R" means it is rated for roadway and temporary traffic-control use, and "Class 2" is the mid-level visibility rating designed for workers near traffic exceeding 25 mph or in higher-risk environments. It achieves this with a fluorescent orange background and 2" wide retroreflective tape.

Class 2 is a visibility level under ANSI/ISEA 107 that requires a minimum amount of fluorescent background fabric and retroreflective tape — more than Class 1, less than Class 3. On the Kishigo 1529, Class 2 is met with a fluorescent orange mesh body and 2" wide reflective tape. Class 2 is intended for workers who need to be conspicuous near moving traffic over 25 mph, in poor visibility, or against complex backgrounds. Note the solid black lower panel is a non-compliant accent area and does not reduce the vest's Class 2 rating.

The "black bottom" refers to the solid black polyester panel across the lower front of the ML Kishigo 1529 vest, below the fluorescent orange mesh. Its purpose is practical: the dark lower area hides dirt, grease, and scuff marks that quickly show on an all-orange vest, so the garment looks cleaner and lasts longer on messy job sites. The upper body keeps the full fluorescent orange mesh and 2" reflective tape needed for ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility.

The ML Kishigo 1529 is made of 100% polyester mesh — mesh on the back and upper front for airflow, with a solid black polyester panel on the lower front. This makes it lightweight and breathable for hot-weather and all-day wear while the black bottom resists visible staining. It has a zipper front closure and 2" wide reflective tape.

The ML Kishigo 1529 comes in four combined sizes: S/M, L/XL, 2X/3X, and 4X/5X, covering small through 5X-large. It's a zipper-front mesh vest, so it goes on easily over work clothing across that size range.

The ML Kishigo 1529 is a well-organized work vest: it has two lower front solid patch pockets with flaps, a left chest radio pocket, a right chest 2-tier pocket, and two large lower inside pockets. It also includes left and right chest microphone tabs for clipping two-way radio mics, a zipper front closure, and 2" wide reflective tape on a fluorescent orange mesh body with a solid black lower front.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1529 is machine washable. Kishigo's care instructions are: machine wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, and do not iron. Following these keeps the 100% polyester mesh and reflective tape in good condition so the vest maintains its ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 visibility.

Yes. Optional custom imprinting is available on the ML Kishigo 1529 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. With free shipping and a black-bottom design that stays cleaner, it's a practical pick for branding a crew.

The ML Kishigo 1529 is a Class 2 vest, which suits most roadway, construction, and utility workers near traffic over 25 mph. Step up to a Class 3 garment (with sleeves or more reflective material) only when workers face very high-speed traffic, work in the dark, or need maximum conspicuity per a job hazard assessment. For standard daytime Class 2 requirements — with the bonus of a stain-hiding black bottom and multiple pockets — the breathable mesh 1529 is the practical option.
