Collection: Hi-Vis Vests

OSHA requires high-visibility clothing for workers exposed to public vehicular traffic, including flaggers, road construction crews, and anyone working near active roadways. Public safety and work environment regulations also lead many employers to require hi-vis vests on construction sites to improve visibility around heavy equipment, material handling operations, and areas with vehicle traffic. Check your site-specific safety plan for requirements.

Field vests are lightweight, economical options with basic coverage and minimal pockets. Surveyor vests include additional features like multiple pockets, pencil holders, and microphone tabs for workers who need to carry tools, documents, or communication equipment. Both styles meet the same ANSI Class 2 visibility standards.

Yes. Hi-vis vests are designed to be worn over other clothing and equipment, including fall protection harnesses. The vest should fit loosely enough to accommodate the harness straps without restricting movement or interfering with harness function. Many workers prefer wearing the vest first and layering the harness on top.

Designed for real jobsite conditions, hi-vis vests should fit comfortably over workwear without creating excess bulk or snag hazards. Workers wearing heavier layers or a harness underneath may benefit from sizing up. Malta Dynamics vests are available in sizes M-4XL to support a range of builds and jobsite needs.

ANSI standards under ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 define three classes of high-visibility apparel based on the amount of background material and reflective striping. Class 2 high-visibility vests provide a higher level of visibility than Class 1 and are required for workers exposed to traffic exceeding 25 mph or where greater visibility distance is needed. Malta Dynamics hi-vis vests meet Class 2 requirements for both background material coverage and reflective stripe placement.
