Trying to decide which safety vest you need?  Here you can find a quick summary on which class of safety vest might suit your needs.

Class I – Class I garments are intended for occupational activities where the worker has ample separation from approaching traffic.  Vehicle and moving equipment speeds do not exceed 25 mph, and the worker is in a position to give his full attention to all traffic.  Class I vests are ideal for occupations such as parking attendant and shopping cart retriever.

Class II – Class II garments are for workers who need greater visibility due to these factors:  potential bad weather, vehicle or equipment speeds that exceed 25 mph, tasks that take attention away from traffic and/or activities that take place close to traffic.  Class II vests provide protection for occupations that include crossing guard and airport ground crew.

Class III – Class III garments offer the highest level of visibility and have sleeves that provide protection to the arms as well as the torso.  These vests are intended for situations where the worker has a high task load and is exposed to high speeds and/or limited sight distances.  A Class III safety vest provides visibility through the full range of body motions from a distance of at least 1280 feet.  Emergency responders, road construction workers and survey crews are some of the individuals that require Class III safety clothing.

 
Star Safety / GSS-Store, is an outstanding provider of safety vests for all of your construction, traffic or general safety needs.  Each vest offers optimum quality and comfort and is offered in high visibility colors such as orange and lime yellow.  We carry ANSI Class I, Class II and Class III safety vests.
