Hi-vis clothing is a core component of personal protective equipment (PPE), providing the visibility needed to keep workers safe across high-traffic environments. Our range of ANSI-compliant safety vests, pants and more, offer visibility solutions for diverse applications, from construction zones to emergency response, helping to create safer workplaces and reduce risks.
ANSI classifies hi-vis safety vests into three main classes, based on the required level of visibility and the speed of nearby traffic. Each class is designed to maximize protection in specific work settings:
Ideal for low-risk, low-traffic environments, such as warehouse operations or parking lot management, where vehicle speeds do not exceed 25 mph. |
Ideal for environments with speeds up to 50 mph, these vests are essential for roles like road maintenance, airport tarmac work, and surveyor teams. |
For the most high-risk settings with high-speed traffic above 50 mph. Often used by construction teams, roadside assistance crews, and emergency responders. |
All of our safety apparel utilizes premium reflective striping, strategically positioned to optimize visibility during both day and night. Options include fluorescent materials for daylight visibility and retroreflective striping for enhanced reflection at night or in low-light conditions, making them adaptable to various environments.
At 95TSS, we recognize the essential role high-visibility apparel plays in workplace safety. Our hi-vis workwear provides the reliability, comfort, and compliance needed across various industries.

A: Yes, hi-vis vests are a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE). They improve worker visibility, helping to protect individuals in environments with high traffic, heavy machinery, or potential hazards.
A: ANSI compliance ensures that hi-vis apparel meets the safety standards set by the American National Standards Institute. These standards regulate visibility levels and protective features to keep workers safe in various conditions. Using ANSI-compliant apparel reduces workplace risks and ensures compliance with OSHA regulations.
A: ANSI standards classify safety vests by the level of visibility required and nearby traffic speeds. Class 1 is suited for low-risk areas with vehicle speeds below 25 mph, Class 2 for moderate-risk areas with speeds up to 50 mph, and Class 3 for high-risk areas with speeds over 50 mph.
A: Our vests use high-quality, fluorescent materials for visibility during daylight and retroreflective striping for visibility at night or in low-light conditions, providing full-spectrum protection.
A: Yes, we provide winter-ready options, including insulated jackets, fleece-lined pants, and thermal coveralls. These garments combine warmth with high-visibility features, ensuring safety in cold environments.
A: Class E pants are designed to enhance visibility when paired with a Class 2 or Class 3 vest, creating a full-body Class 3 ensemble. They are typically required for high-risk environments with fast-moving traffic or heavy machinery.
A: To maintain the reflective quality of your hi-vis apparel and ensure compliance, it’s essential to handle it with care. Wash your garments in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, which may damage the high-visibility properties. When drying, opt for air drying or a low-heat setting. Regularly inspect your apparel for any signs of wear, such as fraying or diminished reflectivity, and replace items when necessary to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
