The ML Kishigo 1550 Lime Heavy Duty Vest meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3. Class 3 is the highest ANSI hi-vis level for garments, requiring the most background and reflective material plus coverage of the arms — this vest achieves that with its sleeved design, 2" wide high-performance reflective tape, and 3" Ultra-Cool contrasting mesh. Type R means it is rated for roadway (traffic) environments. It comes in Lime and sizes S–5X.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1550 is an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 vest, the level recommended for workers exposed to high-speed traffic (typically 50+ mph), roadway construction, flagging, utility, and surveying crews, or any low-light setting where maximum visibility is critical. Its sleeved cut, 2" reflective tape with 3" contrasting mesh, and Brilliant Trim edging give the 360° body-plus-arm coverage that Class 3 requires. Class 2 vests do not provide that arm coverage.

A Class 3 vest like the ML Kishigo 1550 provides more high-visibility coverage than a Class 2 vest, including the sleeves/arms, and requires larger minimum amounts of background and reflective material. Class 3 is intended for high-risk, high-speed (about 50+ mph) or low-visibility environments, while Class 2 covers moderate-risk settings. The 1550's sleeved design, 2" reflective tape, and 3" contrasting mesh are what qualify it as Class 3. Choose Class 3 when traffic speed or reduced visibility raises the risk.

Ultra-Cool is Kishigo's 100% polyester mesh fabric used throughout the 1550 vest, front and back. The open mesh construction promotes airflow and breathability to help keep the wearer cooler during hot-weather or high-exertion work, while still meeting ANSI 107 Class 3 visibility requirements. The vest also uses a 3" Ultra-Cool contrasting mesh band paired with the reflective tape for added conspicuity.

The ML Kishigo 1550 is a heavy-duty, feature-rich vest with multiple pockets: an outside right chest 2-tier, 4-division pocket, an outside left chest multi-use cell (phone) pocket, inside lower patch pockets, and two lower outside cargo pockets with flaps and grommets. It also adds left and right chest microphone tabs and two lapel grommets — making it well suited for utility, survey, and supervisory work where you carry tools, a radio, and a phone.

The ML Kishigo 1550 Lime Heavy Duty Vest is available in sizes S through 5X (Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL), so it fits a wide range of workers. It has a zipper front closure reinforced with durable webbing for a secure fit, and ships with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1550 Lime Heavy Duty Vest is available with optional custom imprinting at Industrial Safety Products, with a minimum order of 24 garments. If an order does not meet the 24-piece minimum, ISP ships the vests as non-logo items. Free shipping is included.

Yes. The ML Kishigo 1550 is part of Kishigo's Premium Brilliant Series Heavy Duty line. Its zipper front closure is reinforced with durable webbing, it uses high-performance 2" reflective material with Brilliant Trim reflective edging for low-light visibility, and it carries reinforced heavy-duty pockets (2-tier chest, cargo pockets with flap grommets). Combined with ANSI 107 Type R Class 3 certification, it is built for demanding daily roadway and utility use.

The ML Kishigo 1550 comes in fluorescent Lime (a Class 3 hi-vis background color) with orange/silver contrasting reflective trim. It is highly breathable: the body is Ultra-Cool 100% polyester mesh, front and back, which allows airflow to keep workers cooler in hot conditions while still meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 3 visibility requirements.

For high-risk work, yes. The ML Kishigo 1550 gives you the maximum ANSI 107 hi-vis rating (Class 3), including sleeve coverage that a Class 2 vest lacks, which is required or recommended near high-speed traffic and in low visibility. It also packs heavy-duty features a basic vest usually doesn't — a 2-tier 4-division chest pocket, cargo pockets, mic tabs, breathable Ultra-Cool mesh, and a webbing-reinforced zipper. If your crew works roadways, at night, or around fast traffic, the upgrade is worth it.
