Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ML Kishigo B500 Black Enhanced Visibility Professional Utility Vest a good choice for professional jobsite use?

Yes. The ML Kishigo B500 is built with a heavy-duty poly/cotton front and breathable mesh back, an oversized zipper closure reinforced with durable webbing, and 2-inch reflective material with 3-inch high-visibility lime contrast plus reflective piping along the pockets and back sides. It includes left and right mic tabs, 2 lapel grommets, a tablet/iPad pocket, and an interior chest phone pocket — a practical build for utility, facilities, and professional field work. Note: ISP's listing does not state a formal ANSI/ISEA hi-vis class for this vest (unlike Kishigo's Class 2 surveyor vests), so it should not be assumed to meet a certified ANSI/ISEA 107 class unless confirmed separately.

Is the ML Kishigo B500 ANSI/ISEA certified, and what does "Enhanced Visibility" mean?

Not confirmed. "Enhanced Visibility" on the B500 refers to its reflective 2-inch material with 3-inch lime contrast and reflective piping along the pockets and back — features that improve visibility — but Industrial Safety Products' listing does not state a formal ANSI/ISEA 107 class rating (like Type R, Class 2) for this vest, unlike Kishigo's own Class 2 surveyor vests (S5002/S5003). If your job requires a certified high-visibility garment (for example, under an OSHA or MUTCD roadway requirement), verify the specific ANSI/ISEA class directly with Kishigo or ISP before relying on the B500 for that purpose.

What are the mic tabs, lapel grommets, and interior phone pocket on the ML Kishigo B500 vest for?

The ML Kishigo B500's spec sheet lists left and right mic tabs, 2 lapel grommets, and an interior left chest phone pocket as built-in features. These are typical task-specific accessories on professional utility vests — mic tabs commonly hold a two-way radio microphone, lapel grommets commonly hold an ID badge or clip-on light, and the interior phone pocket keeps a phone secure and accessible — though ISP's own listing does not spell out the intended use of each individual feature.

What sizes does the ML Kishigo B500 Black Enhanced Visibility Professional Utility Vest come in?

The ML Kishigo B500 is offered in seven sizes: M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL. Note that it does not come in a Small, unlike Kishigo's S5002/S5003 surveyor vests, which start at Small.

How many pockets does the ML Kishigo B500 utility vest have, and can it hold a tablet and a phone?

Yes to both. The ML Kishigo B500 has a dedicated interior tablet/iPad pocket with a load-bearing strap and a separate interior left chest phone pocket. In total it has multiple storage points: a 2-tier left chest pocket with a hook-and-loop flap, a large gusseted right chest pocket with a flap, gusseted outside lower front pockets with flaps, a left elastic spray-can pocket, a full-length interior right zipper pocket with a load-bearing strap, the interior left tablet pocket, the interior phone pocket, and a hidden back pouch accessible from both sides.

What makes the ML Kishigo B500 different from Kishigo's Class 2 surveyor vests (S5002/S5003)?

The B500 is a black "Enhanced Visibility" utility vest, not a certified Class 2 garment like the Kishigo S5002 (Lime) or S5003 (Orange) surveyor vests — ISP's listing doesn't state an ANSI/ISEA class for the B500. It also skips a couple of the surveyor-vest features: it has only one elastic spray-can pocket (versus a left-and-right pair) and no Small size (it starts at Medium). In exchange, it adds a dedicated interior phone pocket the surveyor vests don't have, plus an oversized reinforced zipper and reflective piping down the back sides. It's built more for general professional/utility visibility than for certified roadway work.

What is the ML Kishigo B500 vest made of?

The ML Kishigo B500 has a heavy-duty poly/cotton front with a breathable mesh back and a padded neck for comfort. It uses an oversized zipper front closure reinforced with durable webbing, 2-inch-wide high-performance reflective material with 3-inch high-visibility lime contrast, and reflective piping along the pockets and down the back sides.

Does Industrial Safety Products offer free shipping and custom logo printing for the ML Kishigo B500 vest?

Yes to both. The ML Kishigo B500 ships with free shipping at Industrial Safety Products. Custom logo printing is also available with a free set-up fee, priced per color and location: $2.50 for one color on the front or back, or $5.00 for two colors on the front. Logo orders require a minimum of 24 garments; orders below that minimum ship as standard non-logo items.

Are customer reviews good for the ML Kishigo B500 Black Enhanced Visibility Professional Utility Vest?

Yes. The ML Kishigo B500 has 29 reviews, with 93% of customers giving it a 4- or 5-star rating (25 of the 29 reviews are 5-star).
