The ML Kishigo S5044 Color Contrast High Performance Surveyors Vest meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 and ANSI/ISEA 107-2020, Type R, Class 2. Type R means it is designed for roadway and temporary traffic control (TTC) zones, and Class 2 provides high-visibility coverage appropriate for workers in areas with moderate traffic speeds or where greater visibility than Class 1 is needed. It comes in Lime/Green and fits sizes S through 5X.

Yes. The ML Kishigo S5044 is a Type R, Class 2 high-visibility surveyors vest built for tool-heavy field work. It offers extensive storage: a left chest radio pocket with a clear ID holder and flap, a right chest 2-tier 4-division pencil pocket, outside left and right full-length pockets, an inside lower-left tablet pocket with a load-bearing strap, an inside lower-right full-length pocket, and a hidden back pouch with left and right zipper access. A padded neck adds comfort when the vest is loaded with tools, and the Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh keeps it breathable.

A surveyors vest is a high-visibility safety vest with extra tool-carrying storage designed for field and survey work. The ML Kishigo S5044 earns the "high performance" name through its pocket system and construction: a right chest 2-tier, 4-division pencil pocket, a left chest radio pocket with a clear ID holder and flap, outside and inside full-length pockets (including a tablet pocket with a load-bearing strap), and a hidden back pouch with left and right zipper access. It uses a contrast-matching zipper front closure reinforced with durable webbing, plus 2" wide reflective material with 3" of color contrast on Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh.

On the ML Kishigo S5044, "color contrast" refers to its 2" wide high performance reflective material bordered by 3" of contrasting color (a Lime body with Green contrast trim and a contrast-matching zipper). The contrasting trim increases conspicuity and helps define the wearer's shape in busy or low-light backgrounds, while the reflective striping returns light from headlights. It is a design detail on top of its ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 certification.

The ML Kishigo S5044 is made of Ultra-Cool™ 100% polyester mesh, front and back, which promotes airflow and keeps the wearer cooler in warm conditions. It has a padded neck for comfort when loaded with tools, and it is finished in high-visibility Lime with Green color contrast. The mesh construction combined with Class 2 coverage makes it both breathable and highly visible.

The ML Kishigo S5044 comes in sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL (S through 5X). It is offered in Lime/Green and meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2. Note: the Small size includes a left mic tab only, while larger sizes have both left and right mic tabs.

The ML Kishigo S5044 is machine washable and rated for 50 washes. Care instructions are: machine wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low, do not dry clean, and do not iron. Following these keeps the reflective material and mesh performing over repeated laundering.

Yes. The ML Kishigo S5044 has an inside lower-left tablet pocket with a load-bearing strap, plus an inside lower-right full-length pocket. It also includes a left chest radio pocket with a clear ID holder and flap, a right chest 2-tier 4-division pencil pocket, outside left and right full-length pockets, left and right mic tabs, two lapel grommets, and a hidden back pouch with left and right zipper access — extensive storage for surveying and field tools.

The main difference is visibility level and coverage. The ML Kishigo S5044 is Type R, Class 2, which provides high-visibility coverage suited to workers in moderate-traffic-speed environments or where more visibility than Class 1 is required. A Class 3 vest has more background and reflective material for the highest ANSI/ISEA 107 visibility level, intended for workers exposed to high-speed traffic (typically over 50 mph) or who must be conspicuous through a full range of movement. For surveyors and field work where Class 2 conspicuity is sufficient, the S5044 delivers full high-performance storage at the Class 2 level; for high-speed roadway exposure, a Class 3 garment is the better choice.
