Review on High Visibility XIAKE Safety Vests With 8 Pockets, Zipper Front, And ANSI/ISEA Standards Compliance by Tony Doan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for the right application

My crew does technical rescues - a lot of them, and we're often on highways. Even in other situations we wear these vests as they have clear breast pockets for our ID credentials (so law enforcement can distinguish between us and Lookie-Lous.)The zipper fastens opposite from what everyone is used to but that's not a big deal once you get used to it. The pockets are great for carrying small handheld radios and other small gear. The reflectivity (our priority) is very good. We sent them out locally to have logos and ID lettering applied, and the printing and art work came out fine.These vests can get a little warm although we only wear them on calls and during training, but a more vented vest may be better for all-day use in hot interior conditions. Nonetheless these vests turned out to be better than the ones we previously got from another vendor, so we are ordering more.

Pros
  • I work at a truck entrance almost got hit by a trucker doesnt have much reflection on vest!
Cons
  • The zipper may rust or corrode over time
